Still available...open to decent offers

[cribbohx]

This car is unexpectedly re-available. I had arranged a swap for a turbo\'d MX5 which has fallen through.

Now taxed till July and MOT\'d till March 2013 and will soon to become immortalised in print in a "Rotary feature" in the next issue of Car Magazine.

In view of the exceptional condition of this car i\'m looking for £2000.

Will be at Brooklands with MRC on 21st April if you fancy a look...

Thanks Val.
 
I\'ll try to get a more specific history prepared I the next day or two with the aid of my lad James (wheelynutz). I\'ll see if he can phone you too to answer any specific questions as he is FAR FAR more knowledgeable than I!.
 
Meanwhile, I re-iterate that this car is in exceptionally good condition. To my limited knowledge 7\'s fail either due to engine or rust, both expensive to remedy. Although showing 71k, this mileage has been amassed very gradually and so i\'d be very surprised if there were any serious water seal or rotor tip wear issues. The engine doesn\'t seem to miss a beat. There is no obvious compression or running issues or water loss. I have read that, cared for, these cars can make 100k without rebuild.....this may well be one such example.
 
On the rust front, this car is exceptional and should not be confused with the many expensive "projects" that are to be found. There are no significant issues structure or bodywork issues.
 
Re: Electrics: a slowish sunroof and non working rear wiper. As i don\'t take her in rain i\'ve not bothered with the latter (but might investigate now). I put the slow roof down to old age (my parts don\'t function as quickly as they did 24 years ago either lol!).
 
She is a real gem but she is what she is .... an old lady who\'s in great shape for her age.

As I think I said, i was planning to p/x this car with a turbo\'d MX5 but it fell through.
 
One way or another, the funds from this car will be recycled in the shape of another vehicle so... I might be open to decent p/x\'s..... show me yours and i\'ll show you mine .
 
I\'m in no hurry but for a hassle free quickish cash deal £1800 would press my buttons... I also have £300\'s worth of FD wheels and spacers to play with.

Our beloved s4 FC EGI departed to pastures new yesterday.

Is this car still for sale?  If yes, let us know here at http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com

Although we no longer own the car, the current owner IS selling and it\'s currently on ebay here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200747901365?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1042wt_287

Not owning the car, i have no longer have a "bias" and so would say that if you are seeking an FC you will NOT find a better car than this, especially at the asking price of £1995. The car is in superb condition inside, out and underneath. It flew through it\'s MOT in April and as such a superb "straight" example of the FC it was featured in the May 2012 issue of CAR Magazine.

I DO still have the FD wheels and spacers for sale.
