Title: Any advice very welcome
Post by: KeithB on February 03, 2011, 05:59:04 PM
Hi all been hanging about quite a while but finances and relocation from Gatwick to Northampton had stopped the car hunting but now it\'s time for the gt4 to go.
Probably not far as my son is probably having it to go with his 535 sport and two Imps.
Firstly I\'m thinking of having a look at this

I\'d be grateful for the voice of experience on this car and whether anyone has seen it.

Secondly I\'d be grateful for pointers to a reliable place to keep it looked after in the Northampton area.

Many thanks in advance and all the best
Keith

I\'ll give that a miss then. It\'s a shame that people will spend all that time and money on a respray and not sort the bodywork out properly.
