Wow, is it normal practice to take the engine past 7k revs on the rolling road ?
Find that quite surprising & worrying, thought max power was around 6-6.5k revs, never had any of my scoobs over 6.5k revs.
Back on topic, lol, does look a nice example

Looked at that one myself but the lack of history put me off.

Saying that, it's cheap enough and the mileage can be checked through the mot checker thing online.

Just get the reg and ask for the mot number off the seller and say you want to check the old mots online.

If he doesn't want to give you it I'd say it was a little dodgy.

£7k is silly money for a car with 81,00 miles / no service history. I only paid £8350 for an 06 Hawkeye with 51k, FSH, PPP, PFF7's and a 2 year warranty.

From a dealer.

If it's still making power then keep it pinned.

you could always contact the previous owner on the log book about the history... but then they may come back and say they never serviced it and raped it daily...

Well ended up driving it home as it was in immaculate condition inside and out, engine pulls strong.
Will got some pics up because I can see some changes taking place over the next month

Looks smart! Supprised by the low torque though? My WRX makes nearly 350lb/ft, but it is a 2.5.
