Hi Guys, great deal ahead with a giveaway price, and benefit to KB members!
That's right, the time has come for me to sell the car talked about so much on KB. The car that once adorned the many great KB logos on the KB Rally. Yes, the car that was called the hairdresser's car, but also the car rated as the best value for money sports convertible, by Top Gear. Great handling and feel, and enough performance for NZ roads. It's economical with it's 1600cc engine, as well as being light weight and very cheap to insure.

Space Saver Spare Wheel (With footpump)
Current WOF and REGO until 7 July 2006
Important Info:
The only serious issue, is the fact that the soft top/roof cover needs replacing. I haven't replaced it myself since the main issue is that it detracts from the looks, which I don't really care about, and that it only leaks slightly (you stay dry!). However, I have enquired into the cost of having the fabric/cover replaced ($900 - $1200), and am subtracting it from the price. That way you can replace it and have a really good car, or save the moolah and ignore the one small section of white tape I've "fixed" it with.![]()
I bought the car in March 2001. Since then, up to my accident in June 2005, I have had only 2 issues which caused me to break down / need assistance. The first was a split radiator top/hose, which was replaced and pressure tested, functioning as normal. The second was a blocked fuel filter, which was replaced, and now functions as normal.
I have had regular servicing and maintanance done, and have the receipts for those (as well as the radiator repair from above). Past servicing/maintanance & replaced items include water pump, water hose, cam belt, water pipe, plug leads, clutch slave, Tappet cover gasket, rear disc machining, brake pads and regular oil/filter changes.
The car itself is in very good condition for its year. Upon close inspection there are stone chips on the front bonnet/hood, and a few stone chips/slight scratches on the drivers door. In general, these are only noticable if you know where to look. Mag wheels are in ok nick, not mint and shiny, but perfectly fine when washed properly.
My price to you (Including subtraction of Soft Top replacement)
PRICE: $2000 neg
Preferable payment by Bank deposit (direct/online), Bank guaranteed cheque or Cash. For trusted KB members I will happily work out with you a NO INTEREST term payment plan (monthly payments, deposit and term are very negotiable to suit any individual).
I have to sell soon, as in the next couple of weeks, or I'll trade it in to the dealer when I buy my car (also in the next couple of weeks)
Cheers,
Dave.
PS: Pics of car do not show the condition of the roof accurately. Partly due to angle, and partly due to the pics being old. The body work is showen perfectly
PPS: I will insist on the LTSA reccommended procedure of sale of a motor vehicle. That is, correctly changing the ownership of the vehicle, and bringing me the receipt of that transaction. I don't want any of you guys' speeding and parking fines :P
