Post by billy5000 » Fri Aug 11, 2006 5:43 pm

Hi all

ive reluctantly decided to sell the two/tone i aqquired a few weeks ago

it will be listed on snebay soon as ive been busy t cutting and valeting it and soon it will have 12months ticket to boot

the condition is pretty damn good and all the gadgets work(clock/motors etc etc)

i had that moment several times 2day where i was asking myself why im selling but ive got kinda saab inclined:)

looking for a turbo saab or 480 but we will see:)

lots of history!!!!!!!stamped and recipts loads!!

tyres are all good and it should sail the mot so keep your eyes pealed:)

Hi all

ive all but healed from the op and ive pressed on with the preparation of my TT(i. e alloy cleaning total interior clean and 1st tcut on exterior done)the car smells and looks damn good considering what it looked like when i got her.:)

next week im putting 12months ticket on her then ebay with plenty of piccys and info down to the finest detail(using photobucket)cheaper on me rather than using ebay to host,but it will have one pic to tease on ebay.

hopefully all goes to plan as ive found another lump in my throat matching in almost the same size and deffinatly the same pain as the lump i had removed three weeks ago in my thigh(yes right beside IT!!:)

two small glands is pretty normal(groin glands etc) but one fairly large one is worth sorting so keep those checks up everyone:)

wish me luck again as this time im probably gonna be unable to bloody speak for a while(vocally any how)

im looking at about £500 min with 12months ticket and condition but ill go into detail when the time is due.

lots of service history and loads of recipts etc
tyres are all damn good and alloys are ok bar the last guy curbing once or twice but nothing tooo bad:)minimal

drivers half leather has had a repair and isnt tooooo bad but thought id say(it must have had a tear etc on the right leather ass bit of the drivers side.ive got an entire set in very good con for the right price id throw in and thats sorted plus any spares the winner feels he/she may need for futures sake etc..

about 120 thou miles and comp works 100%/windows/roof/popups/boot release/bonnet release/gears/clutch

momo wheel

and pretty damn forcourt clean as that was my way of doing right by these great cars.


besides i decided to have fun and bought a huge cone filter for my saab and boy does it work!!!it sounds and runs great!!:)gotta do these things just incase.:)


any interest email at

stephen.granger@tesco.net


ill do the best i can at presant to try and sort any piccy requests or enquirys asap but plz be patient.

getting it just right is a long but worthy process which at the end will enable someone to have a lovly 480 es tt and hopefully take good care of her.

I had the groin lump in the lymph glands - mind focussing experience - glad to say it turned out to be sarcoidosis or I might not be having fun with 480s.
What you doin with your spares?
BTW I am about to sell my TT with new MOT (no advisories either).

As Rohan says, it's hard to not sound crass, but I really wish you the best. My cousin had it recently. Hope you get well soon.

Hi all

my little tt was pulled for a good reason and will be back on ebay for hopefully tuesday(or monday ev)

found a brakepipe which looked dodgy (despite already going through its mot)

the garage missed it(id love to know how:)

so i took it to the garage and got qouted for the job

100+ 6hrs work

told they could do it and i turned up to find they wouldnt cos the tank would need dropping which maybe it might(dont think so but hey)tricky they said:)lol

then after i got it sorted said they couldnt check them cos i needed a slot

sounds like bollox business to me

ive now gotta wait untill i have them checked on monday otherwise it may invalidate my MOT:(

still the car is sorted and i will have a reissue from the date(not so bad for the new owner)when it sells anyhow

what a piss take

the first time i went to get it checked the garage mot inspecter didnt even show thus having to go home

next time i was given an 8am time and waited 1hr for even the receptionist to arrive.

and finally they change qoute and refuse at the same time?:)cowboys


guess whos sticking the twats in the trading standards lap:)

me!!!


well TT will be back asap so keep tabs
