H-400 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Looks nice, but the next owner must have some skills to repair the rust issues. The MOT pass was on the same date as the fail and "covered with underseal"? Why advertising the car as an i240 when it is a B1, but the 16V engine is an upgrade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonmonkey Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) Externally looks nice but as Herman says the underside needs work, and the roof panel. would be good to know what the rest of the spec is. Obviously it’s an XE but is it tuned or standard on Webers. What gearbox is it running. Axle looks like standard Manta with drum brakes, but is there an LSD or higher ratio. Front brakes are vented but look like sliding calipers, Carlton? Is it MSA log booked? There are some nice touches too, alloy catch tank, rose jointed panhard rod etc. There are a couple of OMOC stickers does anybody know the car?
