Nightfire Coupe Turbo - Now with pics 01.12.09 -SOLD

Post by bigteggs »

UPDATE - Tax expires at the end of the month (MARCH) and i just want this gone now. Willing to listen to offers, drop me a PM.


Right guys, I need to change my plans of what I'm doing with my cars, therefore I just want to see if there would be any interest in my Coupe.

Its a 1993 Nightfire Coupe Turbo, 118k on the clock. Its MOT'd till end of September 2010 (flew straight through previous MOT requiring nothing) and tax till next year. Car is standard with the exception of a dump valve (bolt on type, make unknown) and a Mongoose 2.5" system with decat.

Bodywork isn't fantastic, there is a dent in the passenger sill, some rust on the corners of the doors, a couple of 5p piece sized shallow dents on the bonnet, and general marks and scratches that you get on a 16 year old car.

Interior is in good condition, no apparent tears on the half leather interior, roof panels don't leak, all plastics seem to be in good fine condition.

Engine starts first time every time and runs and pulls well. However occasionally it has a slight misfire (which i havent looked at yet). I have recently done the headgasket and replaced all usual gaskets, coolant, oil etc. I have flushed the coolant pipes but they coould still do with another flush, the car warms up nicely and holds its temperature perfectly fine.

I have quite a lot of history and receipts for work done on this car since it was new - it seems to have been meticulously cared for in its first 10 or so years, but then at some point has been let go and now deserves some real TLC. Unfortunately, as i am now having to travel for work this just isnt practical and I have little or no time to get this thing back to how I'd like it.

The car is perfectly usable and i am willing to listen to sensible offers, i would also be interested in doing a deal on something bubble with K series or diesel.

I will get pics up in the next few days. Please PM me with any offers or questions!

Pics from when i bought it earlier this year.

Thanks,
Terry

Very well. I've not had to touch it since getting it on the road 2 months ago (well, I changed the radiator last weekend) and it's still doing fine. You just get in, turn the key and go... you don't have to worry about oil/coolant leaks like you do on a T :lol:

However I got the hankering for Turbo power so bought another 420 Turbo :o I've returned the Coupe to standard and will be selling in a few weeks :( It'll be a shame to see it go tbh.

No offence but ive bought these cars for as little as £175 and as high as £2100 so making an offer ill either be too high or far too low, just give us a ball park of what you want mate.

Looks as though the head gasket has now gone :cry: and i dont have the time at the moment to get this back to how it should be, would make a really nice original coupe. I am willing to take offers on taking the car as is.

Just drop me a PM.

I wish i had the space and the money to keep it but i just cant at the moment. My dad is getting a new car and offered me his low mile 45 for near enough nowt. I am having to do a lot more miles at the moment with having to travel for college so the 45 will be ideal at the moment.

Shame to let it go as i love my turbo's and i hope someone on here goes for it and brings it back to its original condition :D
