That did a couple of sessions on eBay a while ago and didn't sell.

According to the details on eBay it's a CAT D write off that was involved in a showroom fire.

There was also a Race Blue one from another seller which didn't sell.

yeh, its on ebay now, they say it's just show room dust...fire eh? that'll be why then.

if its fine and you intend on keeping it then i see no issue with buying it.

ScoobyChris · 20-05-2007, 12:27

Agree with Ben. As long as it is in "showroom condition" then the only problem is that it's marked as a cat D (which will only be an issue come resale time). Do I remember hearing somewhere that you could apply to get the cat D removed with an SVA type inspection?

**VRStu** · 20-05-2007, 18:53

I think it's a reasonable buy.

Snoopie · 20-05-2007, 19:10

Anyone else watch the little video? LOL..... Hmmm.... Should I?

L&KDET · 20-05-2007, 19:23

What Video???

Snoopie · 20-05-2007, 20:16

Top right. It says 'Video Clip' .... They drive it around in a circle, then rev it.

little jack · 20-05-2007, 20:55

bengie · 20-05-2007, 21:58

Snoopie · 20-05-2007, 22:06

Possibly, though if you look closely it has green calipers suggesting it's a 2006 model so could be older than described!.

We've been here before, I contacted both sellers after they were advertising the cars as 2007MY cars (There is a thread on here somewhere).

The date of registration is said to be december 2006 IIRC and the built date can be found from the chassis number.
