I expect the dealer paid about £3000 and is hoping for a miracle ( or idiot)
What people seem to forget when looking at cars like this with ultra-low miles, is its engine will be tight, unresponsive and basically nowhere near as good as a car thats had regular distance use.
All very well, if you just want to keep it as a garage queen and unmarked but i guarantee the higher mileage cars will drive much better.
A car thats had only short , irregular trips will be second best to a car thats had regular use where the oil gets warmed to temperature regularly.

If anyone reading this thread knows of an original (non messed about) 5 GTT phase 2 that's not stupid money then please let me know. Must be solid because I don't want a project car. Mail deano555@btinternet.com

118 bhp!
My Metro Turbo had about 110 I think and felt like a slug after I had a spin in one of these!
Oh the memories
