Is this a Real Type 25..?

[FRAWLS]

It says it's build no.2 which would make it the second one Litchfield ever made which is pretty cool. The arse has fallen out of the car market so I'm not surprised by low prices but this car is an absolute steal at this price.

Typical, it's always a buyers' market when people have no money to spend

Would it not tempt you back?

My wife's expecting our first sprog in November so the TT's days are numbered. As you know I'm quite taken with a certain new 300 bhp offering from the blue oval. Saw one in white in Tyrone last Saturday and was well impressed but the wifey less so. It very tempting at this price but the running costs are putting me off esp as the TT is so cheap to run for a 250 bhp car tax 620, genuine 35 mpg and 600 fully comp with an extra named driver.

Anyway, I'm only dreaming about changing my car as like everyone else I'm stoney broke so will probably just sit tight until next year and see how I get on with a baby and all their stuff in the car. A 2007 535d would be nice but where's the soul in that? The new RS is the only one that ticks all my boxes so far but I'd have to delete the rear roof spoiler if I was to stand any chance of getting the nod from herself. Oh, there I go again dreaming. Back to reality..at least the weather is nice!

ye seen this the other day and got me thinking aswel but i didnt know there was a mk1 and mk1 ,becoz the one iv seen was tuned by cosworth aswl with porche stoppers .its a serious car for that mula tho.

 

[ericsti]

Porche brakes are not part of the type25 set up they are an extra that you pay for out side of the type25 package.

Savage car although I was never a fan of Litchfield using that Spoiler on the Mk1 models. I like the STi spoiler much better on the Mk2s.

Any idea would a Normal Spoiler bolt straight on in place of that one or are the bolts ina different position?

 

[keith dublin]

I kinda like the wing sure for that money you would be mad to let it slip
What would a new boot lid cost worse case
Mint car for handy money do it man might never get it again.
There must be moss growing on that money at this stage :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[richiemac]
