Absolutely stunning. If i werent moving to alabama for a year i would snapped your hand off! GLWS.
Evo 8 FQ in Palma Red (Loads of Carbon!)
SOLD.
I've owned this Evo for nearly a year and have enjoyed every minute. However, I feel a need to economise (it's a daily driver) and so I've bought a Fireblade for my commute and I'm gonna buy a cheaper runabout for the crappy weather days.
It's in overall excellent condition, full service history (apart from 2 stamps really early on), with services carried out religiously every six months or 5000 miles. Everything works as it should, it starts on the key and has been ultra-reliable for me as a daily use car. There are a massive amount of receipts related to the car that the new owner can dribble over. Last service was all fluids and was done just recently.
It's an FQ300 (#564) but the interior is from a 9GT (good condition) and there's a little bit of engine work too (cams, lash adjusters). It was mapped a wee while back by Simon (sbn1979) and I've added pops & bangs to the map for a laugh. These can be taken back off again if the new owner wishes.

Bad bits:
• Front bumper's a bit stone chipped

• The clutch/flywheel are virtually new. Being a paddle though, it judders unless you give it plenty of revs (Clarke Motorsport will confirm this is NOT a fault)
• Front bushes of rear tie bars are a bit worn
• Front tyres have a little perishing to the tread blocks on the outside edge but still have oodles of tread
• Paint on the wheels is a little tatty
This car really stands out. Turns heads wherever it goes, I'm certainly going to miss it. The car is located on the Isle of Wight, a 15-20 minute foot passenger ferry journey from Portsmouth. The return car ferry is around 30-40 quid so isn't going to break the bank.
£8995 or very near offer (I might knock off the price of the ferry!). I don't need to sell it so please don't make silly offers. I can be contacted on 07970 565431. Please note that unless you have valid insurance for this specific car, you ain't driving it. A day's insurance can be had pretty cheap. Your own car insurance will only cover 3rd party on other vehicles (if it covers them at all).
I've included some pictures below. More pics, interior, under bonnet, can be found here.
