The only plus I can see is it wasn't a MK1 or 2.

Too low and looks a bit shit because of that IMHO.

That's funny, I've actually seen this car in the flesh, the only non V3M modified 300 I've ever seen actually.

What do you expect, he's from the wrong side of the m6 :lol:

It'd be easy to rescue that! The 'mods' it has are a lot easier to fix than rusty sills!

My first reaction is ... ouch. The guy only had it for two months. OK, it's "only" a car, but if you like you can get really political about this, throwaway society, waste of resources etc. etc. But enough of that ;-) As John said, it looks like it can be rescued easily.

Unlike this minty green 300 in Germany:

Bought for 350 Euros in December

Pranged in January
and back on the bay for 100 Euros as a "rarity".

That German green one is tragic, looked like it was lovely before it was crashed. That's more of a shame than being lowered and stripped any day.

I was watching it for a long long time, but too far away from me unfortunately ...

the one bad point about the car is that its now sadly one wheel drive the passenger side drive shaft has somehow sheared (god know how with volvo power)
600 bones for a one wheel drive four wheeled car.

Bargain.
