'97 UK T-BAR MODIFIED - NOW ON EBAY- £2999 N/R!

Post by turbo_ricer »

Hey guys and gals.

I have been told I am relocating to Dubai very shortly (time to get that S2000 ) and I have to sell my car I have a month before I go, so if its the usual - I really want it but not till pay day - then no worries!!!!!
That said, if you want it now, then no problem, it just means I have to cycle to work!!

I am located in Hertfordshire, please feel free to email questions to paul.dennis @ thegrove.co.uk or to arrange a viewing.

Standard Equipment

2l N/A T-Bar Uk Model (does not leak!)
Silver/Black (quite rare apparently)
Had leather interior originally (seats replaced for mk3)
94,000 miles
MOT and Tax until May
Airbag
Toyota std alarm and immobilisor
Spare and tool kit original
All tyres have been replaced in the last 6 months

History:

I bought the car a year ago as a standard rev4, after selling my ITR to pay for my wedding.
The car has no prior history to me owning it, apart from the MOT that was valid when I bought it, but it does not looked clocked, and the original leather seats that were in it showed the right kind of age, as does the steering wheel and all the usual stuff.

When I bought it, I serviced it at a local garage where I know the mechanic, who is very well regarded.

This service included a coolant change, oil change, oil filter, K&N air filter, plug change etc etc. Since then, it has given NO trouble at all, apart from having to have both passenger side calipers reconditioned, as per the usual with these cars. It passed it's MOT last May without a single failure.

Since then, the modifying has started, and I have done all of it myself, as a learning project. The ONLY reason I am selling is because I am moving. If I don't get the sort of money I want, I shall donate it to my sister, and get it back when I come back!

The car spends most of its time in a undercover car park.

Modifications:

Border style front bumper
Veilside style sideskirts
Circlar GTA Ltd edition 17" wheels (one is a TSW - see later)
Custom one off single exit exhaust - loud but not headache inducing
Side trims colour coded
Mk3 Roadster seats - much better than std Mk2, and fairly unique
Sony CD Headunit
Leather gear gaitor replaced (black with silver stitch)
Carbon fiber gearknob

Condition

As said, this has been a project car for me, and with winter just passed the mods have slowed. One thing I was planning for was a smooth in of the kit, and a blow over to tidy the paint. At some point the car has been keyed, and blown over before, and it wasn't what I would call a mint job. The kit needs fettling slightly also, but I mean a couple of mm, not an inch!

The reason one wheel is a TSW is that I got the wheels from my dad's FTO, as they came in his boot on shipment from Japan, and one only was cracked. The wheel is very similar, and you can not tell its different unless it is brought to your attention.

The interior is good condition, but one of the blinds needs a new clip. I never use them as I love the glass roof feel.

The engine runs well for the mileage, and I should be getting Luke at Pacific works to give it a quick look this week to see if anything is untowards, which I will have sorted before sale. But as far as I can tell, its fine.

PRICE

Now, we all know that a standard mint condition N/A T-bar 1997 is worth about £4.5-£4.8k

I have been very honest about the condition, and why I am selling, and this is reflected in what I think is a crazy price, including all the mods on there which alone would set you back a fair wedge (I am not splitting the mods off before you ask).

£4000

To be honest, £500 in a spray booth and a bit of elbow grease, and I could get £5.5 for this no problem, but I just dont have the time.

COME ON, GET A BARGAIN AND TEAR THE ROOF OFF FOR SUMMER!!

PICS
