GTA turbo ( £8K and 58000 miles )

I had a delivery this morning and having been to the house before, the 'Parceline' guy asked me how the GTA was running, and then told me he'd seen one for sale in a garage a few miles away. He was so enthusiastic he then went to the trouble of getting his map from the van and showing me exactly where the garage is.

So anyway I went to have a look this afternoon and it seems to be a very clean low mileage example. I had a chat with the garage owner and mentioned the site and told him I'd put a post on about it so here goes.

I didn't have a drive or a detailed inspection but it appears to be rock solid. One or two fixes (delam' headlamp glass) and it'd make a perfect example....... even the speedo works.

Some nice cars there......Citroen CX.....now there's a whacky car that I'd love....or the Fiat 500 estate!!!

..that Fiat 500 - "rear seat belts are fitted for the larger family!"

That means if you are tall and sit in the back while steering and controlling the pedels, you still get a seat belt!
Maybe this is why some Fiat Panda cars had a rear sun roof too, so tall drivers do not loose the ability to see over the car in front.

back to the topic!

looks like a nice GTA, first red one that a have seen and liked the look of it!

Sorry Sold - all mine for £7 grand. Let you know how she goes when I collect her next week. Who can I call to fix the headlamp lens? Paul Sage is round the corner from me, although he did tell me recently that he was semi-retiring/moving. Better give him a call..........

It's not to bad a job to do yourself .Takes a bit of care and a bucket of thinners Tis a bit messy

Bien venu, Wilkommen and welcome to the house of pain!!
Have you got the glass to do the job? (they aint cheap.....re-negociate the price, because a £7000 example shouldnt have broken headlight covers).
I did mine myself.....its a bit of a pain but not too hard.

Didn't notice the price You need to haggle or get them to replace them .Looking at around £6/700 supplied and fitted

Glasses are currently £211 each and around £100 per side to fit.

Could these come under windscreen cover ?

[stephendell]

No

that was my plan aswell

They're not broken - just delaminating. Guess it's whether it gets through the MOT or not - thats the issue. I can live with it as it's a Sunday car and won't be out in the dark anyway.........

do you think if it had a crack in it you would be able to claim
might just try them out and see what they say
