Needs to be very very very cheap. It's been stolen recovered, it's on a Q plate, it used to be silver it's now yellow, it's damaged.

I think I'd let it go to be honest...

Appears that the passenger door doesn't fit properly. With the damamge to the rear quater it wuold be fair to say that it is not worth what he wants for it. Broken for spares would be a bettter idea

Avoid! Save a bit more and purchase an early/higher miles example, can now be found for around £8500

Also look at the wrinkle damage down in each footwell. the panel where the wishbone bolthead shows should be flat..and who knows what the triangle shaped hole patterns are for.. dent puller maybe?

Even well looked after 160s can be a little temperamental. This one looks like it would be a world of pain!
