Description

8v Turbo, 3 door hatch, rolling restoration since buying it in April 2007, showing 160,000 miles at the time, with the first job being wheel arch repairs all round. It is now registered historic so no tax or MoT required. It drives and handles beautifully. Large file of records from 2007 showing the comprehensive service history and restoration including: Recon engine and head at 190,000 miles (2011) - inc refurbishment of engine bay Head restored again 257,000 miles (2020) plus replacement turbo Metering head refurbished 270,000 miles (2025) Poly-bushed all round. Short change gear mod - uses the existing stick with a welded on extension. The original change is a bit like stirring porridge. Now short and snappy. Additional standard 900 intercooler. Abbot Racing stainless exhaust. Bit louder than a Jetex but pleasant to my ears. Certainly not lairy. Recent new starter and battery. Fuel metering head rebuilt last year. Inca Alloys - not original but always liked them because they are a bit bonkers. Pirelli Cinturauto all round. Too much welding done over the years to list - all paperwork available from purchase in 2007. All detailed in the vehicle record. Headlining is good, was replaced at some stage in this process. Underside and arches all sound. Simply, whatever was needed was spent. The car has constantly been in use since purchase. In my estimation it drives beautifully. It is in use, but last year was just 1500 miles. It could do with a bit of a scrape and underseal as I notice it has come off in some places. Recently fixed pax footwell leak. Pax door window motor not working - driver one new. There is a small rust hole top of the NSR quarter panel - taped over. There are some surface rust patches under the bonnet and in the engine bay, but insignificant and not structural. The front edge of the bonnet was repaired at some stage and protected. It needs someone who loves these cars to pick up where I left off, finish the few remaining jobs and enjoy it. Towbar not included in the sale.
