Hi Guys,
Back again.... This is my 4th Type-R and plan to keep this for a long while as the work thats been done to it is massive
I recently had a cosmic grey prem edition Type-R which i only owned for 4 weeks ish and then i saw this on Ebay, 2 Previous Owners, Huge Folder of receipts with alot of work done by ABP and Areamotorsport who both know the car well and have both said on there Facebook posts "One of the cleanest EP3's we have ever come across" in which at this point considering the car had only been on Ebay for 20 minutes i knew i had to have it so i got in touch with Adam (the owner) and arranged to come over!!! Luckily for me i was first to contact him and arranged a viewing for the following evening in which by the time i had got there Adam had told me he has 7 other people lined up behind me to come view and Adam stuck to his word and let me come first (Great Guy) His write up on the advert was huge to a point where i knew for someone to write a advert to this degree this car has been looked after and WOW that was a understatement. So off i went to Solihull... Got there and my mouth instantly hit the floor the work that has gone into make this car what it is was unbelievable and i instantly left a deposit after a 2 hour chat and after Adam fully showed me around the car.
Got home and straight away put my cosmic up for sale and sold it within 2 days to the 1st person... Now i know some of you will say why the hell have you sold a prem for a pre-facelift but if you guys saw this in the flesh you would understand why...
So off i went saturday dinner hoping the dog sh1te weather would clear up in which luckily it did for a pleasant drive home... Adam was gutted to see it drive away but with his first child (little girl) due in december he had to let the Type-R go and make way for something bigger in which was going to be something along the lines of a Audi B7 RS4 :smt060.
The car literally drives like a brand new car and the bodywork is faultless
