***SOLD*** - 2003/03 Hybrid Fabia vRS - Track Toy

[Jonny5ive]

Going to put a deposit on a Touran tomorrow so Old Faithful is fully up for sale.

A mate locally is taking the decat and exhaust so car will come with a standard exhaust.

Car will be at this price for around 2 weeks I sort out SORN and transfer of Private Plate. If it doesn't sell. I'll break it & transplant some of the good bits.

I have owned the car for 8 years. Heavily modified (see below).

Very reliable, except when my enthusiam has exceeded my knowledge in terms of starting to fit bits and not having the correct tools resulting in a few days "off the road".

Realisticly this is not a daily drive (although it has been mine in it's current state for 2 years plus) and is ripe for someone to put a cage in, add some coilovers and indulge in some seriuos track days for not much outlay as everything else is in place.

So here's the info:

2003/03 Fabia vRS – TRACK TOY – just under 153k miles

First registered July 2003

I'm the 2^nd owner in September 2004 at 17k miles bought from (then) Williams Skoda in Bristol with the first being Skoda UK.

Used as a press car and had a track pedigree before my ownership.

I wouldn't go so far as to say sad, but there comes a time when it's too much of struggle having two kids and only one car with back seats

The Roomster however has removable seats......

I love this car. Don't sell it!

[Jonny5ive]

Just a feeler for the moment. if things don't go to plan sourcing an affordable Touran it'll be up again in about 6 months.

@Robshaw, thanks fella. Push may come to shove chap, but some parts of it may live on in another guise

Reg Transfer documents sent off this morning. Won't be declaring SORN until the plate is off so it'll be around a while longer as a whole car
