I was told that service history is a big must when buying one and was advised to have a full vehicle inspection on any i found? The 1997 model was a facelift version that had the newer high hoop spoiler on the non turbo car and the active aero on the turbo version iirc?
There was a nice blue 1997 version up your way for sale with nice bodywork, if the one you've been offered has got the history behind it, it'll be worth a look :thumbup1:

Lovely motor mate and was on my list of cars when i swapped, but found that there pretty awkward to find information on and parts can be a sod to find? i was looking at the twin turbo models due to it being a big motor and thought the NA version just didnt have the power for something that big?
