Calvin, have you thought about buying cars from Hong Kong? loads of expats have left and are still leaving, prices are cheap (comapring what you paid for this) and shipping wasn't too bad before Covid, maybe you can find a deal ?

Love this Calvin! What a car you’ve found there. Colour I think the black looks and suits the car but does need sorting, making it an S3 replica I would say the navy blue colour.

[@MrSausageT]

So they are car traders and they took a car they repaired to “a car buying company” to sell it. It sounds pretty sketchy to me 🤔. Hope I’m wrong Calv, as it’ll be a good buy if so! Did you get any photos of it pre-repair?

[@S.ASmith]

From Brummyland too, repaired with 7 former keepers...thats... "no thanks" Car black book values were £6.5k, so car is worth no more than about £3.5k-4k in it's current state. It needs a full body/chassis check, paint work correction & a bloody good service (belts, oil, filters, possibly tyres). It's not a write off, but you know, it could just be more hassle than the car is worth in the long run.

[@MrSausageT]

@@S.ASmith agreed,at least if its a category car you would have some understanding on how bad the damage was.

Canary Yellow or maybe a bit more lairy Berry Pearl for colours?
