HistoryA family member bought the car in 2009 and I have owned the car since early 2013 and has made a fantastic daily driver. The car has been standing since the most recent MOT but I have been starting it, letting it get up to temperature and then rolled it forward and back again periodically. The mileage stands at 121,830, MOT until December 2015. No tax so unfortunately can't drive the car but can be started on the driveway.
Mechanical
The cambelt and water pump were changed 26/1/12, unfortunately the garage didn’t include the mileage but the MOT’s show that the belt is within mileage.
Being a member on here has meant it's only really been touched by 306 specialists and myself. The car has part service history from 2009 onwards. I changed the oil and filter just before the MOT.
-New Bosch battery 14/02/13
-New clutch kit, full service, suspension bush's and ball joints – 05/04/13
-New PAS ram – 05/08/2013
-New clutch cable - 08/08/2013
For these bits I don’t have receipts but can be seen. Many other receipts with general service items on them.
-Uprated gear linkages
-New exhaust muffler
-Refurbished rear callipers
Interior
The car comes with the standard half leather mustang interior in generally good condition. There is some of the usual slight wear on the driver’s bolster and a minor hole in the base of the seat. Passenger seat and rear bench are in very good condition. The door lining is sagging but could be fixed with some fabric glue. The gear knob leather was torn so it has been removed. As with almost all of these cars, the AC does not work. The car benefits from a Pioneer head unit with CD, AUX and USB inputs.
Exterior
The paint is Diablo red which is notorious for suffering from lacquer peel. As a result there are quite a lot of small patches throughout the bodywork, the worst being at the front. The passenger side of the car is very good, the driver’s side does have a few small pin dents in the door along with two slightly larger dents in the rear quarter panel and the front quarter panel just below the headlight. Neither of them was acquired in my ownership and I didn’t feel they detracted from the car enough to do anything about them. With a good clean the car does look great, a nice deep red.
Niggles
-Rear washer not functional (motor functional)
-Slight rattle from uprated gear linkages (can be solved by re-greasing)
-Slightly noisy top mount
Feel free to post any questions or drop me a PM. Asking price
