Hi guys, im very new to this website and listing threads, anyway i have a:

M reg, R19 karmann cabriolet 1800cc 8 valve in darkish blue, its taxed until september 2007 and MOT'd until April 2008, its covered just under 70,000 miles and in fairly good condition and comes with my Sony xplode CD player.
It has the cloth interior, central locking, electric windows all round, mint roof, front fog lamps, alloy wheels,

and i have just fitted (within last 2 months) :

Front brake pads
Rear brake shoes
Rear brake cylinder
Front gearbox mount (genuine renault)
Both front ball joints
Both front anti roll bar outer bushes, (genuine renault)
New clutch kit (NOT recon)
Clutch cable (genuine renault)
Clutch pedal ratchet pawl (genuine renault)
Both front wheel bearings
New battery

Fully undersealed so never have to worry about welding, brake pipes or any other corrosion problems in the future!!!

The previous owner had the roof was replaced about 2 years although the rear window has become glazed, he also had cambelt, cambelt tensioner and water pump replaced at about 64,000 miles.

I had it valeted this week as im selling it but obviously the weather hasnt been brilliant so i haven't advertised it yet.

And now for the bad points, so i am being as honest as i can be:

passenger door doesn't open off the central locking so you have to push the lock pin thing down first then use central locking

drivers window is slower to operate than the others

exhaust isn't brilliant and was advised on MOT.

very occasionally you have to re lock then unlock doors before immobiliser turns off

bonnet paint in one corner has cracked slightly, boot paint/lacquer has faded slightly, alloy wheel lacquer has cracked on two wheels.

At the moment it is on a friends car sales forecourt for £1295.00 BUT i am open to offers around £1100.00 ono, I am in the Newcastle-under-Lyme / Stoke-on-Trent area so locals feel free to come and have a look and run in it.

My details are as folows:

nice, honest ad. would be great to see pictures though, a picture speaks a thousand words

talking of thousands, the price seems high for a phase 2 (phase 1 cabbies are far rarer) but if it's in good nick then worth every penny of course. Scrapman Matt, was this saved from the scrapyard? (joking

)
