Title: Information of Pirelli REG - KN58 NHO
Post by: OllieL on February 05, 2018, 04:24:01 pm
Hi all.

I’m interested in a Pirelli for sale and wondering if anyone on here knew the car.

Black 08 3door manual reg KN58 NHO

Really interested as always wanted a Pirelli/ edition and have previously had great info when I was looking at edition 30’s from members on here who used to own the car.

Many thanks

Ollie

it’s a Cat C or D.

Gap in service history. No MOT. Currently sat on a breakers yard in Huddersfield. I went to check it out yesterday and found white mayo like substance on oil cap and when the car was revved, heavy white smoke not the usual smoke on cold start. I think gasket problem. Interior was very dirty. The guy at the yard claimed only few things had been replaced i.e. bonnet, wing. I think the car was in a heavy accident. I remember seeing a picture of it on a recovery truck with front end smashed in.Hence why it has ended up at a breakers yard. I think the car may might have ed30 engine in it. Couldn’t verify as He didn’t have a lot of paperwork on hand. Couldn’t drive it because no mot or road tax.

I would stay away.
