Hello Mr freeze and welcome

 

[Gus]

Welcome along. Alien Green 200's are gorgeous - good luck in your search.

 

[Mr Plums]

This 197 has just been put up for sale mate, i think they look as good if not better than the 200 and it looks great in black with a nice spec at a good price.

When I picked up my 182 a couple of months back, the previous owner had an AG 200 on his drive (amongst other things)... I must admit, it looked absolutely stunning in the flesh. If I was in the market for a 200, AG would definitely be top of the list.

 

[Mr freeze]

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody .:smile:

Take my word for it, they're really something

Take my word for it, they're really something :smile:

Its just finding a good one now :smile:

Undoubtedly worth the wait my friend. Just ensure you know what to look for before purchasing, the nature of these vehicles, combined with low(ish) end price range means can live hard lives, which, without proper maintenance can spell disaster. I dived into my first purchase 5 years ago, little did I know what a shed it was. After refreshing the suspension, sorting some exhaust issues, swapping the gearbox and changing the belts, I was down thousands - definitely could've avoided that nightmare with a little more research

Best of luck regardless!

Have you not volunteered any other pictures of your AG up, Mossy?

Cheers mate
Yeah i went for the cup it was in great condition my friend who viewed it with me could not find a thing wrong with it apart from a knackered rear window rubber . The guy who owns it is a detailer at a ferrari dealership so the body work on the car was spot on . Was very happy with it mate pictures don't do alien green justice :smile:

Awesome buddy when you say rear window rubber - is it the rubber that runs up the b pillar between door and rear side window? If it is this is a very very common fault and you can pick them up for about £15 each.
