Title: finding a low mile 24v Estate
Post by ro284 on Oct 26^th, 2010, 8:59pm

Whats the chances? having just missed one on ebay, because my computer clock is set to a different time to ebay clock >:( is there any chance of getting one? i am greedy, i have a 2-3 estate (cracked head) and a 2-9 estate, but the icing on the cake would be an S reg 24v in a nice colour, (not green) preferably champaign leather too! but they seem few and far between now, especially low miles, iv'e been looking for some time, iv'e had the jags etc. And the next scorp will probably be my last car! always hopefull,
Cheers Bob

It was via a main dealer believe it or not...in Cornwall. They had known the car from new and serviced it just 2 owners..last one managed a magnificent 5000 miles in the last 10 years. A couple of things I would have preferred to be honest..it has velour trim rather than leather, but i've got used to it and can always change it if I need to in the future, and it was a mk1..which I have modified to a facelift. It really does drive like a new one though, the doors clunk, there's no slop anywhere. The dealer thought he would struggle to sell it, so he placed it on E-Bay, I saw it and bought it within an hour of listing.......but I did buy it unseen..not really recommended, but a drive to Cornwall from Sunny Stockport was a little daunting. and he said " If you don't like it when we get there, just tell us to go home"..I thought they sounded pretty confident!
