OUR 480GT FOR SALE

Post by no_data » Mon Jan 24, 2011 1:25 pm

Well after much thinking & crying :cryhard: we have decided to sell our baby as we just do not have the time or money to give it the love & time it deserves.
It is in good condition, no rot anywhere, all electrics now work apart from ariel which is not even connected. It is taxed till May & MOT till March. Has 112k on clock, starts 1st time everytime. Guy we bought it from told us it needed new cat as a bit gutless but our mechanic said it is more likely to be the ECM which are £40 from scrappys & ebay. We did get one to try but bloke sent us one for 1.8 & wont take it back.
So there is a few of my posts detailing what niggles this car has so read them all as I am an honest person (being a nurse I have to be).
He is lovely, driven over 400 miles in him without issue, just needs someone to care for him really.
Price £350 no offers as we are not even breaking even on this.
Any questions please email me jaine67@gmail.com

Love GT Alloys :D

Car looks very clean in the pictures. It'd be worth getting some of the interior and filling in as much detail as you have to do with the car's history.

We have no history at all as guy only gave us a log book when we bought it! Interior is the same as all GT's but I will get some when on normal shifts :bored: (nights) Got two people coming this weekend so fingers crossed. It aint brilliant condition but a lot better than some I have seen & rot free.

SOLD!
So I suppose this is goodbye. I have informed the new owner all about your site but he already has a ES so has been on here anyway.
Thank you all so much for all your help & advice & I am sorry I had to sell but circumstances forced it.
Enjoy your cars x
