Good morning All,
After nearly 12 very happy years think the time may have come to part with my baby, I'm finding I'm doing about 2,000 miles a year and also now have a 2nd car. Would prefer it if she went to someone from the Club, here are the details:
111,000 miles (Cambelt change due, which I have purchased but not fitted yet)
New radiator a couple of years ago
12 months MOT
Taxed until the end of the year
Full service history (although I've let this slip a bit)
Corolla GTI alloys (including unused spare)
Full Mongoose S/S exhaust (fitted 2008)
Uprated front speakers, amp fitted behind passenger seat
Leather interior (some wear on drivers seat)
MP3 stereo (also have original, plus T-bar shades/bags/Toolkit)
Unfortunately the bodywork needs attention! Both rear arches need replacing, including corner sections. Both front wings are also not in ideal condition. As usual the red paintwork is faded, but polishes up ok. The electric aerial doesn't work (although sounds like the motor does). Front bumper has a scrape (my fault!).
This is quite a difficult decision to make but I think the time is right, if someone takes her and has the time to restore the car I'd feel happy! I've no idea how much to ask for the car but she has some good points, maybe someone from the club can advise?
Might be easier to email me for pics at this stage, I can be reached on mw305@cam.ac.uk.
Hope to hear from someone soon.
Thanks, Mark
