No mileage stated either. Also why would this be imported, or is that just a red-herring? I assumed P1's were UK only.

I'll wager it'll last more than forty miles. Besides at that price you can factor a rebuild in.

Aside from that engine bay pic, It doesnt look in too bad shape?

Surely not a bad price if thats all thats wrong?

No mention of mileage and the interior picture has been taken avoiding showing the condition of the drivers seat. I'm betting it'll be 100k +

usually if the price seems too good to be trure...there is usually a very good reason behind it..

how much does a p1 cost these days anyway? question is i guess would you buy a P1 or something newer...

Agreed. Id rather pay over the odds for a Type R/STI than scrape the bottom of the "P1" barrel

compare these 2 cars for virtually the same price and read the text underneath very carefully. this is the car i advertised a few weeks back and it could not be faulted. YES it has a cat c on the log book but it has been repaired PROPERLY!!!

These guys were known as "m65 car sales" as far as I understand .... and had a rather colourful reputation!!

Be aware, very aware ....
