THis was for sale a couple of months ago. It's already back on the market?

Box is broke. He's trying to flog it before it goes completely. IF you add £5k for a new box, it's not looking like a bargain...

Hahaha. Just noticed. It's got 810mm brake disks - that's 32 inches. I wonder how they fit inside the alloy? ;) I wonder if the torque is similarly exaggerated :)

To give you an idea I have had similar gearboxes refurbed for £650 including taking out and putting back in. Regards, Ian

......because the Security Service loves performance cars with distinguishing features like after-market alloys and bright red leather upholstery for their Q-cars. Maybe MI5 was going for the 'double-bluff' method of surveillance with this, leaving the bad guys thinking that it's so obvious, it couldn't possibly be tailing them. :sekret:

i reckon if you look beyond all the intolerable bullsh!t, you've got a very individual rs6.

spend 5k on a new box, change the terrible silver doorhandles, and there's real potential at the right price.

if it goes for less than 9k it could be worth a go.....

anyone else agree..???

The problem with a car like this is that there's every chance it's been abused / neglected. I've bought cars like this in the past thinking what you just said. But it's never ending. You're always replacing stuff and fixing stuff, and living with stuff that's too uneconomical to fix like scratched dashboards and stuff.

This car screams run away, and changing the box is probably the beginning of your problems.
