I had always wanted one! I went down Chadwell Heath in Essex & a place had three silver Phase 1's in for £23k each, un-registered etc. I got mine about four years after that.
And when I went to see it, I'd never even seen a Phase 1 in blue.
On the A127 on Sunday I saw a 1970's BMW 3.0 CSL, in that bright yellow colour they did. I loved it! There's also a place there that sells old Corvettes, I spotted a couple of Stingray's out side. I love those!
This morning I heard a big rumble, turned round & there was a massive Dodge Ram there...
Yeah sat nav is very rare on them. You might have the wrong roof aerial / antenna base ? It should be flat and is different to non sat nav cars. Check the wiring too, it should run up the passenger side rear pillar.
To be honest though, even with updated maps, it's pretty pants these days.
If the car is everything you want, go for it! There are tons of rough ones out there and a lot of sellers never keep on top of servicing especially when it's cambelt time etc. The one you've seen sounds fine and like it's worth buying.
Don't get fooled into the stories of 'complete minters'...
I saw one earlier on, booting it round Homebase's car park! They had the exhaust etc, but they looked like complete dicks because if where it was :unamused:
What is it like though condition wise ? How long have they had it for & how many owners etc ?
If your budget's not much you won't be getting a spanking one.
