In Shantung bloody Gold and located in bloody Tipton of all places. :shock: oh dear :cry:

This was posted to me by Davemk1. When I opened the post and saw this, I promptly fell off my bed, onto the landing and down the stairs. I then started getting palpitations and my heart was beating at a rate of knots.

I am recovering and am considering counselling.

Gaaaaaaah,

Get that grille off :evil: It is lovely but the description is obviously inaccurate as I don't believe it is "as new". It did not leave the factory with that thing on the front of the bonnet (or the AA badges either)!

That's gorgeous. I remember back in the day when it was popular to try and make your mk1 look like a Mk2 by throwing on an R8 grille. Never liked it - looked dire then and as bad now (IMO). Still it's an easy thing to sort.

That car is exceedingly rare. Had I not just bought the D reg 820 in an identical colour I'd be all over this. Perhaps I should be anyway. Sadly that advert is doing this car little favours.

Thanks Mo and as much as I'd like to say "yes please" I do need to draw a line and give someone else a chance :lol:

I also know that with better pictures I'll want the thing beyond the point of being able to resist!

That is rather lovely - what's the asking price?

Just noticed it's got a "big" Mk1B onwards front bumper. Perhaps it's seen slme front end action hence the grille...

I saw that after I did the obvious thing and clicked the pic. Doh!

I would ask someone to lemd me £1995, but, if I had that sort of money, I reckon it would be spent on another 825, so I need about £4k :(

I'm trying to resist this, massively. And failing.

It's fortunate it's got that grille and incorrect bumper on it else I'd have made a call already. Being honest I think it's too dear (had it not got the incorrect items as discussed I'd not say this), but honestly I guess it's a case of "find another".
