Ah, it's that one...

I enquired about that one (having also spotted it was a fully loaded bb1, not a 2.0

) and Phil went to look at it for me.

It's not the green interior though, it's standard jdm black interior same as is in Lisa's bb1.

I thought long and hard about it, didn't need to much to put it all right, but decided not to go for it in the end, cause of too many projects on the go at the moment (just not enough time).

I do wish you well with it and am very glad it's gone to someone on here to save - it was too good to get abused/broken/tracked.

I was surprised that no one had gone for it as it had been listed for quite a while - they did say there had been some time wasters previously so they were keen to get it shifted

Got to say i was disappointed when i went to look at it as it was filthy and had water in the boot but it looks like its a diamond in the rough but will take a fair amount of work to get it into shape.
At least it stands a decent chance of survival as i do have a fair amount of spare parts - sunroof will need replaced prob with a 5th gen one - ive made a list of about 25 items

and it DEFINATELY has the blue interior

no offence wurly

i can see why someone might think interior is grey as its covered in mud and leaves etc - minging

Bloody hell, I was almost dibbing the interior.

Just make an official complaint regarding their duck up, you'll get your money back and probably some compensation too.

Not much I can really add to whats already been said other than I am extremely annoyed as its left @vanzep out off pocket until hopefully the right outcome is given and at the MINIMUM the fees are returned to him.

Onto the car itself, handles well, brakes well, extremely responsive, everything seems to work as it should, even sure the infrared remote locking will work as the button still operates and has both key tabs (we never checked this as it has an alarm/immobiliser with locking but we will) Interior is 100% blue, I thought mine had the blue interior as it 100% has blue there but mine is nothing compared to this! Would look cool in my PG with the blue flakes

With a little bit money/love it could be an excellent condition lude.

A rough ride, indeed.

I think that with a bit of polite persistence, you should get the car pound money back.

In the meantime, those officers missed a trick - didn't they even mention the partially-obscured rear number plate?

You will not get the money back from the Police
You will not get the money back from the towing company
Your only hope is the insurance company because they are the ones at fault if your insurance was in order.

Good luck with that.

That's a nice colour Nick. Can't see it properly through the gloom

, is it a sort of gun-metal grey?
