GI/WIW 99 Diablo XSI Track prepped car.

[Grant]

G.I/W.I.W on this. A change of circumstances at home/work see me needing a more reliable and 'sensible' car. I'm in no rush to sell, heck, i would love to keep it. I know I would get more form dismantling it, but i don't have the time or space at the moment. If noting comes of it, I will store it off the road and keep it as a SORN'd track day car.


She's a '99 S Reg Diablo XSI.
Just put 6 months tax on it
MOT expires end of January '15. No advisories at all on previous MOT. Sailed through.

It has recently been stripped back and undersealed underneath. There is no rust at all.

I also have a brand new set of adjustable top mounts that would be included in the sale, for the right price, along with a spare modal cooler and seam welded sub frame.


Bad Points:

There is the usual lacquer peel associated with diablo 306's. The main area is next to the roof at the top of the rear quarters.

Boot lock needs wiring in.

That is all







What do you guys think?

Thanks

£1000 tops I'd probably say. If it were a GTI it would bump it up a fair bit but the XSI isn't a very saught after car.

I thought the battery had to be in a box for mot reasons and to stop acid from leaking if in an accident (wouldnt want to be splashed with battery acid) like what they use in camper vans etc??

Apart from that its very nice and would of been tempted to make an offer but bought something else as i needed a car desperately at the time

I have always thought this too that it has to be in a sealed box with ventilation to the outside... Not sure if its general rules or if its race car rules...

They are sealed cells. They are not the same as your normal car battery. Being exposed as they are is fine however really they shouldn't be used for a car as they aren't designed for deep cycle. They have however, stood up to the job spot on!

I think you would really struggle to sell it atall due to the engine, Just keep it and dump a 6 init ready for next year!!! If not sell me the seats & brace

Pretty much this mate. Even if you put a 6 engine in it then its not standard. You only have to look at some of the track prepped 6s on ebay and see how little they go for :/

As Niall said, batteries are sealed cell so fine.

Im not expecting the earth for it, due to the nature of whats been done to it.

It will obviously fetch more being broken for parts, sadly.
