Would still be worth a punt at the right price, Tom Hobbs can sort the sills out easily enough.

Thumbs down Not for me.

If it was silver would anyone really bother with it? i doubt it, as Andy says check some of the MOT personally i think someone would be buying future trouble, spec is poor as well, doubt the belts have been done, not that i would entertain this car but if i did i know that at least a £1,000 would need spending on it, ie leather seats, belts, also as its mainly only the colour that people like that would need to be brought up to scratch, i don't like the colour myself another reason for not wanting it, most likely sills checked and redone, i bet the Vis motors are not working either.

Jordan and congratulations on acquiring not only a 2.0 litre V6, of which there are few around, but also a rare and desirable example of Dorchester Red. I'm sure that you'll have it looking presentable very soon.

Simon

Thanks, hopefully the seller didn't bend the truth too much, main thing is it made it home (30+ miles) without breaking down, starts without hesitation weather hot or cold and after a quick wash the paint doesn't seem too bad either. The Mrs doesn't know iv bought it yet so I will pack a bag just incase!

Well done Jordan, glad you weren't put off by the negative comments on here - sometimes it's hard to believe we're supposed to be enthusiasts of the marque...

I'm sure you'll have it back up to scratch in due course, anything's possible if you're prepared to put the effort in, and a very rare colour nowadays
