Default Opinions on this please guys
I'm after some honest opinions on this car as I'm in 2 minds about making him an offer on it.

The only thing I'm worried about is the colour, don't see many green 1s.

Would have said that is top of the tree money for what it is nice car or not and its value will only go one way.. My opinion of course.

I'd buy that. The green isn't bad, but finding a low mileage classic in that kind of condition is hard work these days.

As already said, hard to find in that condition these days, looks really well look ed after. Personally, the colour doesnt do it for me, could always repaint it!.

Looks good and if its all as it appears on viewing then price is do-able IMO

I know green isn't to everyones taste but they do look really good when polished right up and not being on the top of peoples favorite colour list also makes them a little rarer.

As it appears and if you like the colour, then worth a closer look imo...good luck with the search



PS: sorry for not stopping to say hello on Sunday, didn't want to get in the way of your viewing

If your going to get a classic, get a limited edition, RA, Type R, RB5 or P1

I was going to get a P1 James, but a change in my circumstances has now made that impossible, so I just wanted to get a good clean classic to last a year or 2 until I can afford to try again.

I quite like it Matt, but does look a bit toppy on price.

Shame it isn't going to work out with a P1 at the minute.

You could always pay for mine in instalments matt

You already know my opinions on the green one, but if you did like waynes one try a good old haggle with him.

Good luck though if you do go and look at the green one.

Yes, but I'm trying to think with my head and not my heart. It would need any money sending on it.

I know what you mean matt and if you 100% ok with the colour as a compromise for having something that dont need any money spent on it,thats cool.

But remember back to when you used to look outside at the widetrack in the morning when you woke up,to then picturing that classic outside in green would it put that smile on your face again.

Plus any car that seems dont need any money spent on it always normally ends up needing dosh spent on it.
