I think the price is the only thing "showcar" about it.

Sweet baggy leatherette though, 1.8 on log book screams scummer deluxe to me.

Full veilside kit? Was that the one that came with the Topmix skirts and 20HP extra ?

Price is a smidge unrealistic..

but I'd say a fair bit of work went into that interior..not to my taste, but somebody might like it..

220bhp? Not a chance tho..not unless there's something else under the bonnet along with gpx lump..

Some silly billy is trying to sell to somebody who doesn't know their FTOs...

With a wash and a polish the exterior might come out real nice...I kinda like the color..never was a huge fan of the Veilside kit tho.. (NOI).

He's got the exact same DVD player as me. Cost me €1300 three years ago. That's why the car costs so much.. :D

Never seen it and the location is Cork. Its not a car you'd miss, I travel a fair bit around Cork from going down home to going to work related meetings etc. to just going for a drive and not seen anything like this ever.

Me either. And id be around cork a lot too. not one we'd miss. MJ, in the photo looking at the rear, does that look like the church in Rochestown to you? You know the one were you get onto the link from the Rochestown road? Funny shaped building. If im right its incredibly local not to be spotted...
