If I was keeping it jobs that I would do:
Removable tow bar is no longer removable, never bothered me, but guess would be nice to be able to remove it.
Front plastic very lower lip of bumper, paint is coming off
Car "thinks" a door is open - red light on dash, guess its a door switch/some wiring
Insurance is due again (£492 for me and wife all mods declared, limited to 10k miles), its a 4th car and just is not getting used, I have had a lot of fun but time to move on, its a fantastic car.

Its on ebay but £8,000 or offers to end the ebay early.

That did not take long to sell ............ Whats next..

[mardibloke]

had a fair bit more interest than I expected, but at the end of the day you have to match the right person to the car when selling modified cars - just happened that the right guy for the car was looking to buy a car - chatted for a couple of hours, once he drove it and saw the history, he decided it was the car for him. Pretty much as I did back in 2003.

Tempted by a new WRX from car supermarket places or Alfa 159's

Let us know what you go for.... Had no experience of an Alfa but they do seem to have a passionate following.... A drivers car (so I am told/heard) may be a bit tame after the scooby though...
