Do you have a link to it as you haven't included a price?

Beat me by 29 seconds.

Sounds like 'candy turbo's old one?

I thought the ED30 initially came out on 07 plate...

[rich83]

Nah... 56 IIRC!

That sounds like a very keen price given the spec and cost of mods already done. Lovely colour also. I paid not far off that for a Ed30 totally standard with more miles.

This should have had a major service (40k - cam belt etc) by now just on age despite mileage being under. Especially so given remap.

Your lucky you finding one you like mate. I'm struggling lol

What makes you think this was Candy's old one.  He never had white wheels on his.
I seem to remember a thread about this car not long ago with not a very good outcome.  I defo remember the bit about the car being sold mapped with a print out. 

[gobbleplease]

That's a very good price !
I paid 14k for mine last year same miles allbeit with a full spec, condition was A1 throughout probably the nicest I've seen that's why I was happy to pay that sort of money. If condition is good on that one I'd bite his hand off !

I remember it coming back up for sale and having white pescaras, mod spec and mileage plus private plate rang a bell too  

The one the OP is looking has a similar description so thought it may be his old one..

Edit to add that the OP's description of the car is a copy and paste of the old eBay ad of candy's old car so seems one and the same

Good detective work.

Cheers for the info guys! so the car in the link has 255bhp how come its jumped to 320? It is the same car as the old ebay add the pics ive seen are the same ones, said there are printouts 255 at wheels 320 at the fly is it always up for sale ? Cheers

What does the part service history mean ?  Would reduce the price for me if there was some missing
