I like that car and it has the rare BBS lightweight alloys as well.

Anyone want to buy my Spec C.

It's a a bit to pricey for me u can get an awesome spec EVO 8/9 for the money Hawkeye spec C go for....
Not yet mate.... had quite a few offers of swaps/px, guy on here offer me a nice Spec D which im tempted by, had a few EVO 6's 8's and the odd 9 but nothing that i've wanted enough to do a deal or the deal hasn't been quite good enough...
The way Fuel prices are going thinking maybe i should keep it...

Dean, you will get offered some crap for your car, just gotta hang in there! Diesel maybe the way forward at the moment though, wait a while then maybe the Evo's and Scoobs will be advertised for not a lot of money!!

Back in the late 80's I bought a near new cossie for peanuts, everyone was bailing out due to the rising cost of insurance. Ok I paid a grand to insure it in the first year but the car was so cheap it evened itself out.
I kept it for 2 years and sold it for profit as insurance eventually can down and the cars value went up!!!!
It's all revelent IMO
For a person who does a low mileage never a better time to buy a gas guzzler

It's only £6700 but add import etc and it should see about £9500, not bad really.

Didn't mean the import one mate, i meant Sammy's brothers and any other hawkeye spec C ive seen for sale in the UK they all seem to be £17K+
You can get a very well sorted EVO of the same age with at least 400/400 and low miles for around £15K.
