Small amount of rust on drivers door where supercharged decal is
3 or 4 dinks around the car
3 scratches on the bonnet
The car does run BUT after installing a new engine (supplied by Yoof at polo performance) there are a few things left to do. Can't recall mileage of that engine, but I'm sure if you ask Yoof he might be able to tell you.

On and off sticking throttle issue
Needs New Radiator Fan (I have one here)
General look over before MOT as it's been stood
COMMENTS
Bought in July 2008
Full service history
Folder full of receipts including my £1,000 plus bill from Jabba Sport
My current input into her is approx £4,000
Selling due to not being able to insure 3 vehicles and I want to tackle drifting, I can't commit to both with my budget so something unfortunately something has to give and it breaks my heart to be writing this for sale post
My husband has tried and failed to help me fix it (I'm no good under a hood) and I can't afford to pay someone to fix her as the last person I trusted fitted and paid a lot of good money too, put the wrong spark plugs in her causing it to melt a piston. That was nearly 3 years ago this March!!! A shit time in my life back then, storage, keeping the pikey iron men at bay and having shit all money since then has kept me in this situation of not being able to get it going. I can't have it all, so she has to go. Ouchie.
I would love to see her go to a good home where she will be given a good life and see the roads to meet that porsche again on the M5
Location: Castle Donington
Trailer required to take home
