I remember this being up for sale last year and thought then it looked a lovely car. I\'m not in the market for a 1st gen, but if I was....
I\'m sure it was a lot more expensive last year as well.

Yes Ian, this car would be on my shortlist as well.
I think it\'s exactly as it\'s described, a 60,000 miler and it\'s down from £3000 last year. I think it was on sale for more than that before then but Paul, the seller, has clearly had no takers.
The only problem is the location - Aberdeen, but if I were buying I\'d make the trip with reasonable hopes of a damn good bargain.

PS I have Paul\'s contact details and permission to give them out if anyone who\'s really interested in the car wants them.

I agree with that Stu, white 1st gens in nice condition look great.
On series 3\'s as well, the burgundy interiors, although of their time,  somehow just suit the cars.
It\'s hard to imagine white or silver series 3\'s with any other colour.
This car looks spot on for the money.

Everytime I see it it reminds me of the zeros screaming down battleship alley in Pearl Harbour film!

[David Nock (RIP)]

It was on sale middle of last year still in Nottinghamshire. Before that I\'ve a ??note saying \'Suffolk 2007\'?
I see the engine\'s been swopped by Carl (Steve?) for a fresher 21,000 mile unit as well. That adds to the appeal I reckon.

That\'s why I said Supernova, getting away to something in space, bearing in mind where the Mazda factory is.

Alloy? Magalloy? Don\'t know but they do seem to last and not crack or go porous.
