Looks ok in the pictures on the advert, as said seems to have been slightly restored or looked after as it has got a clean bright look to it.

Engine bay pictures are a little strange I wonder if it's a trader selling the car now?

"It had been neglected by its former keeper" poor old Stainesy.....King of Chavs

It also benefits from Volvo aerodynamic roofbars

" This car is a 'one off' ".....I'm glad the previous owner was a 'one off'.

TBH though, I miss Stainesy purely for the entertainment !!

£425 for a gearbox? And those other prices! Think some of those have been exaggerated a bit, either that or he was not very good at shopping around.

Some of the worst things done in the history of our planet were done by people who "meant well" lol
Is anyone going to ask him why he put those engine pictures with the ad? Looks like an n/a of some description to me?!

i don't think you can blame Stainsey for all of them lol

[colnotts]

4.0l jeep engine bay . in one of the pics you can see a black jeep on the other side of the road ??

[stephenevans99]

It doesn't actually look like a bad car, a few more piccies and a slightly better description - I bet there'd be quite a bit of interest.

I think describing the car as being neglected by it's previous owners doesn't help things.

Yeah thats an M59, but the T5-R didn't have an M59 did it? just a normal M56
