Welcome to the site!
Welcome to the site!
wondering how well the seats have worn?
Great purchase.
Will be interesting to hear how the reliability is after all these miles as I have never heard of a CS this high in mileage.
Enjoy it.

I've got the keys and as expected it needs a "bit" of work but I may have to declare it SORN as mot is due Wednesday 14th and I need to get the shocks off to BG Motorsport.
Mot certificate states, 7 warnings with one being dangerous (park brake efficiency below requirements 12%, luckily my drive is flat), offside rear parking brake little or no effort, front shocks leaking, front light bulbs different colour + alignment, rear numberplate light not working.
The advisories as expected are tyres, so yeah a chunk of money needs to be spent, so time to splash out and get it sorted .

Quick tot up in my head reckons about a grandish to do all that, so a trophy with perfect shocks, 4 new michelins, all the electrics working properley for £2900. Bargain
I'd be tempted to get a full service with belts done for peace of mind too, if you've got cash spare

Nice one! how bad is the drivers seat worn?

I would budget more than the normal money for the shockers.
Id say average for having them done is about 35k and that costs just short of £600 all in. So with 5 times the mileage more could be wrong.
Im not saying it will defo cost more than normal but no harm in budgeting and a bonus if not.

Great thread, and a bit of a bargain.
I guess the shocks are just cleaned up, re-sealed and gassed. Apart from adding new adjusters if they are needed I wouldn't be too worried.

I've just copied and pasted the following from my thread on cliosport as i'm not sure how many of you guys (if not all) are on cs, apologies if the pictures are too big if need be I will resize them again #-o .
As requested here are the pictures, I took her back on my lunch break after filling her up I took some very crappy pictures on the drive as I had to get back to work pretty sharpish.
The car needs a damn good clean inside and out but other than that im over the moon!!.
this being the best angle I could get;
Recaro wear;
Outside;
Splitter in boot;
=P~ , DECENT photos tomorrow.

other stuff can be damaged. BG told me that the bar can get rust on it and if that happens it cost more.
Any news on the number?

Awesome find for bargin basement price. Welcome, welcome. Add to the overall cost a damn good interior valet too, exterior detail probably wouldn't go a miss either. It'll have a laquer of motorway grime all of it's own. Boot picture seems to reveal that it's had a fairly hard life. Quite a lot of grime built up. Bag yourself a tube of Autosol to polish up those rear pipes too. They look fully carbonised.
Will be great to see it back in all its glory in the next few months.
Or just get out and drive it :wink:
Great find, saw the thread on CS initially. Sent you a PM on there
