Looks great  :y

....just make sure it's not that 'rebuilt' one that went around all the car forums last year!

Seriously though, it does look good, I went on various bits of the MIRA test track in one with a pro driver once... pretty sure he was auditioning for Top Gear as I don't recall the car pointing in the direction of travel once  ;D ;D ;D
It's from a dealer that swears the history is clear, one owner.  Don't have an account to check it myself though.

No problem then, most dealers HPI there cars anyway (and let's be honest, who wouldn't on a car like that). Just make sure the sale docket states it is HPI clear.

Well, it needs TLC.  Main things are a full service, a few pieces of interior trim, and most importantly wishbone bushes!  They're so bad that I am reluctant to drive it the 2hrs home.  Seem to be original at 58K which is a lot for that car.  Underneath all that I defo get the feeling that there is a solid car though.  Surprisingly similar sentiments to when I got the miggy.  ;) :)

Negotiating them down, but very tempted!  :y

58K and wishbone bushes gone!!!!

Sounds a bit iffy.

Check for Track day usage, tyres are a good starting point for this, and speak to the prev owner as well.

Not the prettiest car in the world, but i understand they handle well and aer a lot of fun to drive even in N/A form

looked after you will not lose much on it come resale

They're not stickers, they're actual dents that look like stickers  ;D

Thanks!  Yeah, that's what I was thinking too about the number plate.
