I decided to give the car a proper clean ready for its MOT and get it back on the road ahead of a possible selling up So after over 6hrs worth of cleaning which involved- 2 bucket method, dry, clay bar, 2 bucket method, polish, wax and then hoovering inside and polishing the dash etc. I didn't manage to have the wheels off but will try and get around to that over the weekend excuse the IPhone pics:

Nice car what detailing products did you use to achieve the final finish?SJ .

L.J.F

iTrader: (31)

Cheers mate I used G3 products it works surprisingly well

fingerscooby

Yes I agree , you have to do what's right just a shame after all the work you have put in, hope it goes to a good home, be nice if it was my home ha ha!

The main reason for letting it go is lack of use and the urge to try something new as I've been around the Subaru scene for a long time. I want a car that can sit out on the road and be used daily for a bit of fun or popping down the road not stuck in the garage waiting for nice weather and unable to park in public car parks etc.

They are a real joy to own and drive mate

I have only even driven a P1 once and that was when then first came out, all those years ago and still remember it well. Need another go in 1 very soon.

Looks lovely mate, wish mine was as clean. I was thinking of selling mine a few months ago but decided to keep it as I knew I'd regret it. I've only done 890 miles up till last years mot and just over 2000 this year, but I do try and drive it at least once a week, always puts a big smile on my face

Offers in the region of 9500.... I would drop that slightly if its a trouble free sale.


Surprisingly had a fair few inquiries so far!

L.J.F

iTrader: (31)

Just to add I haven't actually got this up for sale yet hence there not being a ad on the net yet.

I'm still deciding and testing the water lol

Matt23

How did the viewing go mate, did you sell the car.

L.J.F

iTrader: (31)

The guy who came around today had a Evo 8 and we had a look around each others cars with a view to doing a swap first time I've driven a Evo and I have to say I was really impressed with it!

He is keen on a deal but I'm still deciding if to or not

I had a guy a wanting to view tomorrow but that won't be happening now until he's back from holiday.

SirFozzalot

Just use it then. If you buy the Evo why should that be used anymore or less than the P1?

L.J.F

iTrader: (31)

Because the Evo isn't in as good condition as the P1 plus I'm too fixated on letting the p1
Out the garage if its raining, where as the Evo will be parked on the street just like my old bugeye was.

SirFozzalot

I know what you mean but if you sell it then it could become daily drive for someone to enjoy after you've kept it looking so nice for them. If it were me I think I would rather use it and enjoy it rather than sell it and let someone else enjoy it just because I didn't want to get it wet.

I can be the same with mine sometimes especially after I've a had a good cleaning session on it but then I try to remind myself it's just a car and it can be cleaned again. . I agree about the parking though. I can be a bit picky where I leave it to avoid the door dingers.

Looks a stunning example that. Love the P1's.....
