Looks like a lovely car. Has been reduced as it has been up for sale for about 6 months.
Looks like its in great nick. Not 100% sure about the wheels, I think I like them but are a bit too big......needs more tyre in my opinion!
I won't mention the floor mats ;-)

Is quite close to me if anyone is interested and wants an initial opinion I could look for you.

Cheers

Sure thats Sherwood?
Wasn't Sherwood the two tone green over gold as opposed to this white over silver?
Wheels far too big. Needs rear flaps to balance it and the car mats need set on fire.

Otherwise, looks nice :-)

Apparently Sherwood was all the two tone colour combo's. I agree, wheels are too big and rubber too small...didnt notice the lack of flaps!

Sherwood is green over gold.

Needs lowering as it's on 17" wheels. The engine wants doing properly and a Jimi bracket putting on

Ok...so I got the colour scheme wrong and its not to everyone's taste......other than that...looks like a nice car lol

It is written in the advert that it is sherwood toning so don't beat yourself up for getting it wrong, the advertiser has got it wrong.

Unless you are the advertiser......

White over silver is rare, just not as rare as sherwood toning.

Cheers Kate. No, I'm not the advertiser.
There is a real sherwood one for sale with only 40k miles that has been for sale for over a year. It's only £2500. Is it not very popular?

[cabbydave]

This one is cheaper

Sherwood toning can be very desirable partly because it is so rare however it still is down to condition. A red or white car (possibly the least rare colours) in excellent condition is more desirable than a poor condition car in a rare colour.

I have only ever seen one sherwood car.

I know where there is one all it needs is two small holes in the arches welding up but he's being really slow getting it sorted. He originally bought it to put a V6 into it which would have wrecked it. Instead he bought a car that was full of bog off someone on this site
