Introducing 'Rosie'

[GazHyde]

Great colour choice, the blue really does come up looking great, but does show the stone chips.

I guessed it would when I was looking at it yesterday. I'm pretty sure under the swirls there is a good foundation of paint, but to be honest I've taken a bit of a punt on it condition wise . There is a pearl under all the rough though, I'm convinced!

That said going on the price guide Ian does in the car club magazine a 2.2 Sport classed as "non garage-queen/non-dog but decent example" would be around the 4.9k range. I'm well under that range by a country mile

Interesting, I bought my 2002, 2.2 Sport nearly 2 years ago for well under 4.9k so I think the price guide is (a bit) optimistic


Also why 'Rosie'

Don't forget this is an average. There are some low mileage 2.2 models on Autotrader etc, for upwards of £10k. Also private seller expectations are usually higher and push the average price up somewhat. 2.2's start on Autotrader/eBay etc start in the early £3k's, and Sports just a bit more than that.

Also why 'Rosie'

The registration plate starts RO51

Looks a good example Gaz! The 2.2 are on par with the 2.8 regards performance so it should feel quicker than the 2.0

And topaz blue is an awesome colour! My 2.8 wasn't a show queen but after a good clay, polish then wax it came up great its a nice colour..

Have you any plans for it???

Look forward to seeing Rosie at Zedfest!

Started a progress thread, although more of a 'Restoration Thread' until I sort out the rough edges...
