Right, the GTE is definatley up for sale now, no changing my mind.

It went up for MOT again yesterday and failed again. Its not drastic and can be easily fixed but im desperate for a road legal car as im moving next Saturday!!

Here is the failure list first:

*Rear Fog lamp not working
*Rear number plate light not working
*Front number plate highly illegal (which i knew and i have a correct size one)
*Needs new passenger wiper blade
*Headlight aim needs adjusting
*Centre exhaust mount needs renewing
*Drivers side front wheel fouling the oil pipes when on full lock (vaux stuck em in a stupid place imo)
*Nearside rear wheel bearing needs replacing (not just tightening)
*Offside front coil spring has been put on upside down??? (previous owner had a blonde moment)
*CO2 emissions excessive
*Handbrake not effective enough for MOT, but does work on hills.

Its a long list but as you can see, there's some really basic things on there.


Ok now for the good points:

*Structurally sound!! This car will need no welding
*Its fast as hell!!!
*Totally stripped out so would make a good track car
*Its Orange :)
*4 new tyres
*Front and rear strut braces
*Tax till Nov
*Colour coded engine bay
*Clifford Cat 1 alarm and immob
*No door locks, only boot.

Its a 2L 16v, the dash reads 140k, but it had a reconditioned engine fitted last xmas so this is irrelevant.

Its drives fine, if buyer is willing to drive home with no MOT. Up to you.

Any questions please call me 07773332205 anytime.









Will take some pics later of the inside etc.

I really am open to offers and will consider any, but due to forum rules ill say around £600
