OTHER
The bulk head and strut tops are still the original colour. The reason being that these are not on show.
As stated above the car has been maintained regardless of cost. Gets washed weekly, and waxed monthly. This means the paint is fresh and looks stunning.
Also it wouldn't take much to put your own mark on the car and bag yourself a magazine feature, as I've already spoken to a couple of magazines that would be interested in the car once its finished.
Tax until 31/01/07, MOT until the end of January 2007
PRICE
£5995 with the original 16” Turbo Sport 5 spoke alloys (Tyres have 3 - 3.5mm of tread on them + slight yellow over spray on tyres) Basically to allow you to drive the car off and select your own alloys!
Picture of a car with these alloys on: Turbo Sport Alloys
£6495 with new Audi RS4 replica alloys (Will come from EBay £500)
Alloys in question: EBay link
Open to offers on both of the above options
May also consider a part ex + cash for one one of the following:
Corsa GSi / Sport, VW Lupo / Polo GTi or a standard car (Must be group 15 or below. Unless it's a pre facelift Honda Accord Type R in Red with less then 60K on the clock in excellent condition) W.H.Y?
If you require any more info about the car, or would like to contact me please Email me at: “m33rkb*yahoo.com” (Replace the * with an @)
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CAR WILL NOT BE SPLIT FOR PARTS. ALSO THE ALLOYS WILL EITHER GO WITH THE CAR OR WILL BE KEPT!
Thanks Mark.

I'm not sure how much the Volvo is worth, but I would imagine that it would be a part ex + cash my way?
I you were interested I would consider it.
