Martin R Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Go and have a good look. If you want it get it checked by a good independent specialist. It will cost you 100 quid or so but may save you a fortune. If it shows any problems you can pull out or negotiate a deal With the best will in the world its hard to check properly on the road. If the seller will not let you do this, find another one. The are a number of good specialists depending where the car is. Welcome to MLOC BTW.

jako999 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Oakmere had a blue one i've just had a look and now they have a really nice looking red Sports Racer the sales guy was great I felt sorry not to buy the car from him but I decided to go for an SC with the extra power and got it from Silverstone. At least from a dealer its guaranteed to be straight and with a warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketian Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have a 2006 111R and can confirm new dash and airbags. Check the top of the door - just below the window for paint blisters, seems to be a problem with cars about this age. Only cure I am told is new doors because if you repaint the door the blisters come back through. Or, has anyone found a way to cure them ??
