Plate not included, unfortunately

I didn't spot the Ronin reference in it till someone else did on Pistonheads bargain barge thread lol

I can't recall it being on here before, from the sale last time, but I haven't attempted to search the spotted thread to see if it is there

Yep like that indeed mileage is so low but no 20" no xenons no solar .... which probably another £3k retrofiting .... regreting now not going forward with £6k 81k miles one on pistoheads

Now that's an FE interior. Go see it. They always look surprisingly good in the flesh.
Interestingly Adrian says it was cheaper last week on eBay. The lesson being, cheap can be good. Don't pass up on cars that seem too cheap. Not every seller is savvy. Or sometimes they just want a quick, clean, not fuss sale.
Be an optimist if you want a happy outcome.

My FE is just coming up for 150K on the clock, and there's no way I'd let it go for £4K. If it's been looked after (and that includes gearbox services), it might be a good car.

For reference in Feb last year I paid a touch over £5000 for a June 2002 registered S8, 109K mile, 1 owner from new, FSH, from a small trader working from home, dealing in dealer-supplied trade-in cars. Not a Final Edition and no extra options but a desirable colour inside and out and impeccable history, so I was happy at that price.
