No help, but I love the look. Are those white wheels?

MY friend saw this one as well but felt it was a bit on the pricy side.

Have checked with him, he did not see the car, he dismissed it as being on the pricy side, has since bought a 2010 model for not much more. Mind you a genuine cup will always be worth more because of the extras.

Good luck with the purchase

Defo on the pricy side. I bought a cup240 over 2 years ago for £27k with about 10k miles on it. Sold it 6 months later for £26.5k when the recession struck. I would buy one back tomorrow if I had the cash, but would not pay that much for it.

Aren't these meant to have the full roof scoop rather than the half one?

Mine had a half roof scoop which was the same as the N/A car, but just had the grill (well the mock grill which is really a blank) removed from it. The later 220s cars scoop was also different to the 240cup, as the 220s cars had an added bit over the front of the intake - I suppose to make it look nicer, rather than a scoop with a badly cut hole!

Here is a photo of my old car, you can just about see what the roof scoop looks like.

Nice with low miles but an 05 plate for 29k is £6/7k over asking IMO.
