Bought my 182 today

[Mr Plums]

I know this is a pointless thread without pics but ill start a progress thread tomorrow when i clean it and take some pics.

Its an arctic blue 182 with both cup packs, its in immaculate condition apart from 1 alloy that has a few marks on it, im not bothered anyway as im getting them refurbed soon to match the mint condition the bodywork and interior are in.

Its got full service history had the belts changed etc, the only mod it has is a full milltek exhaust, but im not complaining about that as it sounds mint!

Its only done 48k and the previous owner was in his 50s but still into his cars, he was a top bloke tbh, all electrics and lights work as they should, its even got cruise control and auto wipers and lights on a 54 plate so im really happy, its a credit to it previous owners.

Ill get some pics up tomorrow, i cant believe the car ive got for the money, its like brand new!

Im ordering a few things for it tonight.

Thanks Tom.
