Hi guys as you know ive been looking at getting a type r. I put a post in the wanted section, and someone sent me a link to the 22b site. Theres a chap selling a P reg version 3 type r in white. Hes had it since it was imported a couple of years ago, assures me its mint with only 50000 miles on it. Up for £5k. Two things is that a good price? and by chance does anyone know the car?

Is it the one with the red hoses and a bit of bling in the engine? If so its very nice but I thought he was keeping it.

It is the one I'm thinking of and 5K seems a bit of a bargain. Its extremely pretty.

 

Yes mate it is that one. Seems to be cheap enough but its three hours away and i dont want to waste his or my time, if you know what i mean?

5k seems like a good price to me, i'd be more than happy paying that much if the condition in real life matches the pictures.
Just not a fan of the pre facelift dash, thats my only gripe about the earlier classics

 

Ive spoken to the guy a few times today, he says its a minter, but as ive said its a long way to go if its not as described. Dont know what to do.

take a gamble, i drove 300 miles to go and get my one, was worth the journey in the end, round trip of 600 in total

 

same here matie.. i did a 400 round trip 4 my baby.. worth every mile!
