I paid Â£7k for mine that I've just bought, but then that was from VW

thanks keep info coming seems the pedal box is a bit dodgy,the hunt for a decent one goes on,would like leather does this effect the price much

Depends really, some that have leather will be a fair bit some won't, but then they're not very easy to find with leather. In the 3 months I was looking I found about 3 (in silver anyway)

1. Diamond Black Pearlescent

2. Reflex Silver

3. Flash Red

Some of the earlier silver cars are Satin Silver, which looks slightly different? No grey or blue ones I'm afraid

ye they are harder to find with leather and the price will reflect on that as well.
