Hi,

Been offered a G40 for Â£1150

1992 J plate Black
131000 miles
DTM exhaust
Performance panel filter
Two new yokohama tyres

I think i'd want to remove all the crap and keep it standard

Worth it?

For Â£1150.. ? Emm yes

But is that all you know about it? Any pictures, service history, tax, mot etc?

Hi mate,

Aparently there was an 8 year service history which was lost during a house move.

No Tax but MOT till feb 2007

that looks like a nice tidy example mate!! and for Â£1150 its a bargain!!

just one question...... why do u need a passport to travel to scotland exactly??

Thats been on ebay twice and hasn't sold. I enquired about it but its not no charger history and hasn't ever been service or rebuilt.

I figured it was one hell of a distance for me to travel and have it die part way home on the motorway.

I was thinking that.

You can use your driving licence for ID. I've used mine to go to Ireland on a plane.

Cos this week after all the 'terror' crap everyone who flys has to have their passport.

It's a 300mile drive / 7 hour train ride / 1 hour 5 min flight

And i'm struggling!

just having a more serious think about this - how much is a charger refurb?

I've decided i'm driving up and towing it back i think (unless my mate decides he's coming with and driving back with me)

Definately a wise choice where superchargers with no history are concerned.Get it rebuilt by pitstop ASAP

standard rebuild by Pitstop Developments is around Â£350 and they can turn them round in a week!!

I must be bloody mad!

I'm catching the train up and then headin a bit further north to go see a friend of mine in Inverness then driving back down.

I think i'm definatly doing a charger refurb - what would this involve? I suppose its only bearings and seals. What with just rebuilding my gearbox i suppose a charger wouldn't be too difficult
