Silver 1994 BB4 VTEV 2.2 w/LSD

Sadly it's time to say goodbye to this car after 10 virtually trouble free years of ownership, I need something younger and cheaper to run for a new much longer commute. On to the exciting times of sensible motoring!

168,918 km = 104,960 miles on the clock. It had the dials replaced when imported so it's a pure km total.
All the brakes except front discs replaced at the last MOT in January, one of the rear calipers too.
Stainless steel twin exhaust with the cat removed - fair warning, it's loud.
KoniSport adjustable dampers all round (yellows) - there's a creak from the front right when turning onto a drive or speed cushion, I'm assuming this is from the suspension but I don't know for sure. It's been through two MOTs like this without mention by the testers.
Bodywork is not exactly show condition, as you'll see from the photos.
Both windows are stuck. The passenger's side fully up and the driver's side is very slightly open - not enough to see from outside the car or to let any rain in but it creates a nice whistle at high speed. It makes a good speeding warning in fact...

I believe the replacement wing I bought many years ago and never got round to fitting is still in a mate's cellar, I'll check that and update the post.
There's a very minor oil leak that hasn't worsened in the last 10 years, a couple of drips on the drive after every outing.
The ECU is socketed but only has the stock chip installed.

Needless to say it still pulls like a train.

Sensible offers over £500 welcomed. Car is located in Northampton.

I probably won't be on the forum much over the weekend but feel free to post or message me with any questions and I'll respond when I can.

Thats a good price for an non-butchered BB4

with OEM LSD and Konis

Yes plenty of work to be done to it to get it to showroom condition but its also the right model to start with if your looking for a track lude

I'm in Northampton mate. Thanks.

Already got an offer for the £500.
Better think fast people, I'd like to get rid of this sooner rather than later.

...and she's gone. Sad to see her go but I'm confident the buyer will treat her well.

Hopefully he'll put some pics up on here when there's something to see.

I dont know how folk can bear to sell these cars for so little money

Still - quick sale and off to a good home by the sounds of it

I think maybe the EL speedo in this car is quite rare - mph only goes up to 112 which is the limit in Japan and its also got kmh- ive only seen one other lude with the exact same

I've got the same ones in my project lude, but they are auto ones. As it's a manual though the Auto gearing LEDs don't light up. This one could be the same hence why you can't see them.
