B3.3 3.4 Coupe

Post by Bubbaad » Fri Apr 20, 2018 12:03 pm

Hi all

After lurking in the background here and having recently driven a B3.3 I'm in the market to purchase one. Would prefer low mileage car with full history but will consider anything as I see that they don't come up that often. There is a dark blue one on Autotrader with 99'000 miles at just under 11K, any info on this ?
Cheers
JB

Have you a link to the car ?

There is the b3 3.3 280bhp and b3s 3.4 305 bhp I think it's the 3.3 you mean

That's the one, any info on the car or opinions price wise ? I would be happy to own a well sorted B3 or B3s.

There is was a nice velvet blue alderly edge on eBay for 7.5 with fairly low miles
This is nice and spec is good prices all over at min depend what your maximum budget is
Have u seen any to drive they are lovely cruisers usual Rot on arches need to ensure decent history correct suspension parts

I test drove the one at Alderley Edge, nice drive but it has been badly resprayed, has a few issues and a very patchy history. I'd rather pay more for a straighter car.

Been really busy and it's over 200 miles away. Going to call them next week and find out if it's worth the trip.

Lots of owners travelled all over uk to buy theirs
I've bought from Ltham St Anne's
Southampton and then Basildon went to see several elsewhere as well
