Description:

Many may have seen this listed on my other account before and for a fair while, at that point was gauging interest to the point where I lost interest in checking.

Owned for 4 and a half years which is rare for me, as I switch from vehicle to vehicle quickly but this one became a keeper.

I have acquired my own recovery business and have no time for my weekend toy. Which is usually just parked up and used once or twice a month.

Damaged front passenger wing. Don't see this as a opportunity to say its worth this or its worth that. Damage was involved in my ownership, bit of road rage, has not touched the structure.

It’s been this way for 3 years.

Putting a feel out there to see what interest is about? will deal on the right offer. However I am on the lookout for a A class mercedes up till Christmas, for my other half as a second car.

Imported over from new, every MOT from the year 2002. (First owner probably didn't think to save the early ones).

Sunroof model (fully works).

Head has been rebuilt by C TEC due to purchasing the vehicle and finding it had head failure, on with new plugs, oil filter, timing belt, new gaskets around engine, 2 oil leaks fixed, much more. Found these on the MLR forum (i am a fully paid member), great reputation Evo specialist. This was done in the summer of 2015.

After the head work it was then sent to GR Performance for the mapping.

Over £3000 was spent making it stronger and reliable in just the head build.

I have a lot of photos from C TEC on the build. Power graphs from GR too, 2 boost settings, A at 1.4 bar 479.4 bhp and B at 1.9 bar 529.5 bhp.

Room to increase power.

Mid year 2019 the Evo developed a misfire. This went back to C TEC and GR Performance. Off top of my head the cam angle sensor (I think had packed in). Replaced, made a slightly higher figure to the first time by a few “hp” on a much hotter day which surprised the tuners. A small protection shield was ordered for this sensor from China as it’s a common fault when running big power for the engine heat to burn these sensors out.

Running good now.

Bad bits:
- Wing needs replacing (I have one in a different colour)
- One carbon mirror has damage, seems the glass was damaged too and they have attempted to cut and fix there own. Was going to purchase a used set when came along.
- Few chips on front splitter, has to be expected.
- Clutch can be hard work in traffic, spec of needing a solid clutch.
- Agressive cams have a low end flat spot as most but smooths our at just under 2000 RPM (Nigel at C Tec confirmed on the head rebuild that these had a aggressive profile on visual inspection).
- AYC light comes on, odd occasion in summer, will be something to do with temperature and density of diff oil. In my ownership I have not changed the oil. Nigel advised me may be just the weather or may need a rebuild on pump. However it’s not a urgent concern just means you need to be more of a driver to aid the car.
- Gearbox can feel notchy in 3rd but goes in and out with ease. This was the next job for C Tech, a rebuild of the gear box.
- Rear spoiler needs re lacquer, carbon fade started again.

Interior is very clean for age, no daft sounds from the car, everything has been done and maintained.

Odd tiny bits of rust, expected for a 18 year old car. A lot of rotten ones out there, I’ve not had any work done. No exterior rust on view.

The underneath looks solid too, could do with a bit of wielding on the jack sill as bent on a part, been previously under sealed a long time ago. Could do with fresh lick.

Whilst being stood I neglected on the bodywork, areas became faded, called in a guy who brought out the colour as best as could, you can see differences with touch ups in areas at different points of the cars life. Still shines up good.

Had a small mag feature time ago in her nearly standard days, different plates but i also have proof that the plate at time of feature was on the car.

I am happy for anyone to speak to Nigel at C TEC about the work and condition of the car. But only if someone is serious and spoke with me prior, i don't want Nigel having a bundle of calls or messages.

If you are offering cash on top please state how much, if you don't i will make the assumption straight swap........daft offers will be ignored.......thankyou.

I want to swap for

Mercedes A Class

I am open to ALL SWAPZ
