cefiro_drifter Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 First off this is a 50/50 sale. Im not worried if it doesnt sell but at the same time im craving an Aristo V300. I never keep cars long ( had over 60 in 10 years ) as i get bored quickly and cant settle down, god help my soon to be wife. I also could do with a bit of extra cash for the wedding in march to. Some will recognise this as Mattbowey's old car that he had a little off with and gave the rear end a facelift. PLease see pics on some of Matts threads here for the damage viewtopic.php?f=31&t=41568 first and last page. As a result of it being an import it was written off so the car is a Cat D The car has been repaired very well by someone, think it was armstrong car sales as thats where the owner before me got it from. Bit of history and issues ive had with it since my ownership. Im being 100% here as i dont want the next owner to have any surprises like i did on my way home. Previous owner had the common fan faults and didnt tell me so on my way home the car over heated. As soon as i noticed the temp gauge go above 3/4 whilst i was stuck in traffic i pulled in and let it cool down. Called RAC and they said the fans werent kicking in and topped in up with water and i drove home watching the gauge like a hawk, luckily for me it was 2am on the M25 so temps stayed down ( traffic had gone by then ). Turns out the fans werent kicking in and the thermostat wasnt opening all the way so i replaced the rad with a very thick Alloy Racing rad and put twin 13" electric fans wired to a manual switch in the cabin ( next to the TCS button ). I also had to remove the thermostat as i needed the car that day and couldnt get one on a sunday evening. Now the temps stay between 1/4 and a 1/2 when drving and even sat in traffic for 20-30 mins after a long motorway drive the temps dont get over half way and if they do you flick the switch and it will bring the temps down to almost cold in a few mins ( very big rad and powerful fans = ) . Car uses no water and no oil and there arent any signs of HG issues ie no white smoke on start up, idle or when hot, not sludge under the cap and the heating blows hot when car is up to temp. The only other issue is the drive shaft click which is on the drivers side only. Right so thats the issues out the way now the specs, if your still interested lol 2005 MOt and Tax til end of Feb and Jan respectively 57 000 miles which is a combination of KM's and miles Very little paperwork with it unfortuneately Rare white/cream leather in very good condition 6 speed manual working perfectly with no crunchies bangs etc etc alloy rad with twin electric fans manual switch Brembo's with drilled and grooved discs PAS E/W A/c no idea if it works as never use it Alarm, immob , central locking Xtron Sat nav , DVD, ipod double din unit Car will come on either G35 which all have good very legal tyres and not the 19" rota's im afraid Price wise im looking for £5750 which i feel considering Cat D and the issues listed and the money i spent is a fair but i am open to sensible offers Project thread here with all the work and some pics done viewtopic.php?f=176&t=55895&start=0 also some pics here with interior and hopefully the mods accept this as proof its me Any more info or pics needed please get in touch. I am open to part ex if its with a gs300 or an Aristo thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
