I would have thought the car is carrying too many mods to be a genuine 8000 mile car tbh. I mean it would be worth loads if it had standard wheels, spoiler etc... i do believe its genuinely got low miles...but 8000....i certainly wouldnt beleive it...looks bloody mint inside, but then again, the interior on my old pearl white car looked mint once i spent 2 days fixing every little squeak and rattle.

Is it the same one that was on pistonheads for months?, it had a different rear spoiler

Try 3000 miles since new on a early model with eery part uprated to it\'s potential. From engine, turbo, brakes, interior, exterior, suspension, arms, etc etc etc

They are out there, just very difficult to find.

Yes, I think the same as Jit why would somebody fit those mods then keep the mileage so low. It is the one thats been on pistonheads for ages. I know cos Ive been watching it for ages. Again if it was completely standard, I probably would have at least been up to look at it. Ive been looking for a completely standard, low mileage Rex for quite some time.  But something doesn\'t seem right about this one, I could be wrong

it does look pretty mint on the outside if it wasnt for some of the bolt on bits etc.  Quite tidy nether the less.

surely tho if its only done 6000 miles this could be a bad thing? if its sat for very long periods of time when not being used isnt this meant to be bad for your water seals in the engine? sorry if thats not true, sure i read it somewhere. im still new to this rotary business!

you arent completley wrong that is for sure but it also means that if it was genuine that the rest of the chassis and drivetrain has only done that millage which is very rare etc
