2001 Chilli Red Roadster - SOLD

[normanh]

I am possibly looking of selling my Roadster on this summer due to my advancing years and the spread of my arthritis - its simply getting too much these days getting in and out in narrow parking spaces dues to the volume of inconsiderate SUV's on the road.

Its a pretty high mileage 148 but the engine was changed to a newer spec model at 22K. I purchased the car at 35008 some 20 years back. Importantly it burns little or no oil and other than dealer/garage oil changes I have proberbly bought about 5 litres in the time I have had the car. Good service records for many years by a main dealer. Some years the mileage has been around 3K max, all MOT certs available.

Overall condition for the year is average. Work undertaken in the last few years includes -

New Cat - Cats R Us premium spec not the cheaper no approval , this is EU Spec
New Back tyres 205's , New front 185's the other good allrepor TR1's, the wheels were powder coated in Oct 2014 but getting a bit rough now.
Panels resprayed Drivers Door, Front offside wing new due to a minor knock, front bumper. Bonnet has been do also due to stone chips
New disks and pads all round Pagids.
PU Droplink Bushes - fronts
New Rear calipers
Hood about average for its age was a Toyota replacement when I bought the car.
I changed the rad in 2014
Front suspension - replaced mounts and macpherson legs
Replacement double din rail radio with bluetooth

I have a boot rack used only about 6-8 times when I used to do longer touring trips, New rad from Cool Parts still in the box bout as a spare

I have little knowledge of the market so advice is welcome, its a good runner and turns in 45 mpg  when I do 190 mile trips M25/M4 a couple of time a month over the last 3 years.
MOT till Feb 2025

The market is all over the place as normal.

Look on autotrader for a guide and then ask at least 10% more than you would take for it and cross your fingers...

@Chilli Girl

And??

[Chilli Girl]

I'm afraid it isn't mine - just being helpful and uploading pics on behalf of @normanh 

[Gibla]

Bearing in mind the cost of a hardtop is frequently the same as what @normanh is asking for the whole car...this seemingly represents fantastic value for money.

And a really clean honest MOT history for the little Chilli - just hope it goes to someone who will take great care of it like @normanh has throughout his long ownership.
