Do you have a link to it as you haven't included a price?

Beat me by 29 seconds.

That sounds like a very keen price given the spec and cost of mods already done. Lovely colour also. I paid not far off that for a Ed30 totally standard with more miles.

This should have had a major service (40k - cam belt etc) by now just on age despite mileage being under. Especially so given remap.

What makes you think this was Candy's old one.  :happy2: He never had white wheels on his.
I seem to remember a thread about this car not long ago with not a very good outcome.  I defo remember the bit about the car being sold mapped with a print out.  :happy2:

That's a very good price !
I paid 14k for mine last year same miles allbeit with a full spec, condition was A1 throughout probably the nicest I've seen that's why I was happy to pay that sort of money. If condition is good on that one I'd bite his hand off !

I remember it coming back up for sale and having white pescaras, mod spec and mileage plus private plate rang a bell too  :happy2:

The one the OP is looking has a similar description so thought it may be his old one..

Edit to add that the OP's description of the car is a copy and paste of the old eBay ad of candy's old car so seems one and the same :happy2:

All rolling roads read different, but going off the list of mods at the top of the page it would be stage 2, basically a map, exhaust and an intake system. Realistically it will have about 300BHP if the map is decent.  :happy2:
