Can't believe this hasn't sold, I think it's the perfect classic, maybe it's the purists that would rather see an RB5 left as stock, wouldn't bother me.

Horses for courses. OE is the new modded if you want to sell now. Due to the body mods you are likely to get more by breaking than as a whole unless someone with specific tastes buys it.

I like it, but the miles for me is just the one thing that gets in the way of perusing my thought process of even considering owning it. Also when you hear 2.1 you expect large power output, or at least I do. So although the 2.1 is fresh and reliable, I’d hope for 400-500bhp.

That said I think it’s priced fairly, just not something for me.

That’s the best classic I’ve ever seen, I’m guessing you don’t want to swop for a blobeye running 340@ wheels and quite a few other mods?
great looking beast

yep i opted for the 2.1 as a basis to build on but never got round to it shame about the mileage because 79.5% ish of the car is nowhere near that (box, engine, complete suspension, brakes, wheels, turbo, exhaust...)

Payment Plan? might be an idea actually as i work for a car dealer some days so in theory they could buy it from me then arrange car finance or contract hire for you!?
