The guy seems like a bit of a part time salesman. Anyone been to see it? Seems well priced to me from the description and photos. Found the guy via Facebook using his number. Not sure what I think!

Should add, it's what I'm now after. A nice standard 172 cup below 80k!

I imagined a story where ADS1982 actually just made that up, and subsequently goes to buy said car which is actually as described.

I was about to reply, then I looked at your avatar.

 

[ADS_V6]

True but this avatar reflects a dodgy turk seller on here,in honesty that cup now has jumped 20k miles in less than a year somehow oh and Cribert the dephaser has not been changed on it if this helps you mate

 

[Crybert]

I won't be touching it mate! Seems there's not many 172 cups out there at all. Well standard anyway!

Was just going to txt you saying what Alex has just wrote

Don't get hung up on finding a standard Cup, buy a good one. Took me ages to find my shed!

Wondered why this had been up for sale so long.
