hey, im goin buying a 1.4 sri tomoro (providing its all legit), that ive seen locally, but it says 1.4 16v on the back (original vauxhall type badges - not the chav mods from motorworld i asked him about that on the phone and he said its an N reg and is a 16v, he said after that they started to make them 8v (may have got that the wrong way round sorry if i have)
is he bullshitting? and hes askin £1500 for it... 67,000 miles, cambelt changed, brakes done in january mot only till october, white, colour coded bumpers, lexus lights, sport interior, no rust at all or scratches, mint condition, i knocked £100 of price by saying he could keep his shit wheels lol. but is it worth £1400 ?? sorry - no pics, but it is mint condition.

Mate of mine used have a 1.4 16v M-reg SRi, they sounds awesome with a induction kit on, makes the 1.2's sound like kittens compared to the roar of the 1.4/1.6 engines.
