Boring Stuff:
Car is in the UK on a 2000 Registration. However, car was built in 1998 as stated by the VIN plate. This means that you can import this into Canada under the 15 year rule quite easily.
Mileage on the car is a mix. I have been driving it in kms in the last 4 years. The last owner (Phil Morrison, owner of Driftworks had it miles, but he took the converter off for his next car) The odometer currently reads 118,000+kms, so I'd estimate mileage to be at between 73000 miles to 80,000 miles. Bear in mind this is an absolute guesstimate. This was a show car and has probably done 6-9000 miles in the last 4 years.
Car has just been serviced with new gearbox, diff and engine oil. 6 new sparks and new air con filter by Will at Streetoptions. (September 2013)
Cambelt was last changed by Whifbitz, including a full service back in February 2012 (off the top of my head), with MOT.
Whifbitz also redid the MOT back in March and replaced one of the rear airbags which failed.
6 Months tax has also been put on the car from the start of September.
I have invoices for most of the parts I have put onto my car, but I am sure I can email every vendor I've used and ask for one as all UK businesses have to keep them on file for 6 years by law. (I am very well organised as you can tell...lol)
The car has just had a full alignment at Nispro Performance (21st September) which will allay any fears about tyre wear with the negative camber specifications. It is recommended that you should check your tread regularly and flip the tyres when inner edge is starting to wear more, to make use of the tyres.
There is some history with it (as I'm ever so organised (!)), but all of the cars history in my ownership can be tracked online through my various project threads.
FLAWS
The car is in an exceptional condition barring 1 small scuff on the front bumper, and a couple of door rub marks against the side skirts. Wheels are pretty much mint, with the exception a slightly kerbed the passenger side rear wheel (last week 15th September) which is quite minor and nothing that a bit of filing and polishing won't get rid of.
Air suspension is all in working order, with 2 remote controls, but the screen on 1 has gone.
Rear upper camber arms probably need replacing (see price details)
Turbo conversion could do with completion (see price details)
CONTACT DETAILS
Any questions, do feel free to PM me or call me on +61 413 723 130 (+11 GMT)
PRICE
I have stuck a value on the car that I think is fair for what it is, that is: a one of a kind car, a "complete" car, in a rare modification style that is famous the world over. It might seem high but I think reasonably fair.
I have now REDUCED the asking price for the following reasons:
The single turbo conversion could do with finishing - injectors, boost controller and a piggyback ecu should see you at 600 + bhp with a nominal spend.
The bushes on the rear upper control arms are worn out, this will show up on the MOT test which is due soon, and therefore needs to be accounted for. New arms from Toyota are approximately £1000...but you can get aftermarket adjustable ones from Battle Garage for about $800.
And lastly, I have a wedding to pay for, so I can no longer fawn over my car on my parents driveway sitting and doing nothing, when I can release some much needed funds for my (read: her) big day! So don't be shy, come and view the car, make me an offer...
The asking price is now £15,000 ono ($29,000 USD, 21,000 Euros (at current exchange rates) .
I am happy to entertain international buyers too and may throw in free shipping if the price is right.
Constructive comments and questions are welcomed. Thanks!
FINAL COMMENTS
The car was unveiled at #Trax2013 where not one single person walked passed without having to come and take a closer look. This car has ridiculous presence and the drive to and from the event was most entertaining with people rubbernecking, and taking photos etc.
If you don't like people looking at you, this is not the car for you
The price is not a price I've just put on "a car". The price represents the "fame", "exclusivity" and "experience". These things you cannot put a price on, (well, you can!) but this is what you are paying for, not just some "done up Aristo!"
The car won a "Top 20" medal at Players Show (impressive considering it is VAG dominated), Speedhunters did a full feature on it at the show (NOW UP (25th September 2013 http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/09/...-style-aristo/) and another feature is in the bag with Global Automotive Connection.
On her last outing at Modified Live on the 29th September, she won her class in the Show and Shine (JDM)
This is a prominent and important car on the UK modification scene.
Please note: The Belsky Diamonds/Luxury Abstract Fusa WILL NOT BE INCLUDED in the sale unless the offer is very close to the asking price. I will not be giving away 10 carats of black diamonds for nothing...
Also included in the sale of the car will be a lot of decent cleaning products (a Kleers cleaning kit (won at Modified Live, unused), a fulll Meguiars Gold Class cleaning kit (won at Players, unused, with the exception of the microfibres) as well as a variety of other cleaning products and good quality microfibres etc. I think the cleaning stuff alone makes it worth the asking
