£490

And yes, the traction control on the MK2 is a PITA. I run with it off most of the time. It's actually dangerous in a "quick getaway" at a roundabout or so, as if the wheels start to slip it just cuts off the fuel and slams the car to a shuddering halt. Not what you want when you're halfway out in front of a lorry or so!

Thought it may be mine for sale while I'm working away as its so near, an 06 and the right colour, but mines an SE and tucked up in the garage... Just got my Father to send me a picture ....... also I agree the TC is dangerous and I drive mine with it off most of the time. All the best JB Tourer AKA My V8 (Jarrad)

Oh,

Someone local to me and with a V8
I know there used to be someone with an XPower grey v8 in St Osyth, near the water ski lake. That isn't you is it and you've changed to a 75 Tourer?
Used to see it parked up on my way up to the Point on customer call outs and admired it

Why???? Series 2 is no different apart from better front and rear end.

Yes, that's me. The x power grey one is in storage, but I lost the space for the tourer recently so unfortunately for the first time since bought in 2006, she is outside. But will soon be back undercover. I have seen another V8 in Wivenhoe and a couple in Colchester, but haven't seen any in Clacton before. JB
