Too much time on my hands. No sooner had we finished the house, "the covid" hit, i havn't had free time like this since i was a teenager and honestly i have gotten back into flipping a few cars as people on here may have seen.
You'd be blue in the face at nothing.

Had grand ideas to tidy up this Corolla a bit and test it again and i probably will if it doesn't sell. I've that Nissan Tiida there, the Celica, this Corolla, my day to day Golf and a fixer uper Zafira (parked well away from the house) :pac:.

I do enjoy **** old cars, always have!

Why would someone import a French one.Can't see many dropping 60k on a lhd one

I was thinking the same. Maybe it was brought over by someone relocating and no VRT was paid?

Like any rare car its in short supply and desirable both in rhd and lhd. Plenty of buyers from the Continent would have no problem buying a lhd example in Ireland if they cannot find one closer to home. Current owner would get a chunk of VRT back too for selling it to someone abroad. Even somebody here wouldn't be put off by it being lhd.

I'd put money on that being an American import.

You know the advert literally says 'French Import'?

But it could, and it's just a theory, have been imported to France?
Just something about it, the manual AC controls and the side lights just seem north American.
I could obviously be wrong though.

There are some signs that it isn't European.

The orange reflectors being one sign I think.

The state of the radio in that!
It’s the correct one for the car, but looks like something from 20 years ago

Don't think it's an American import, they all seem to have those amber lights on the front wheel arch.

Here is a UK rhd with them fitted too:

its kinda strange that the first pic is in a showroom and the others are outside someone's house?

They're on it in the dealership photos

Which were taken in France (note the Opel dealership opposite, and the plates on the cars outside the window.)

Going by that, from Google Maps, there it is, and the Alfa dealer opposite.
In town called Arles in southern France (between Marseille and Montpellier)

It says vrt paid in the ad.
The bigger issue is who buys a car like that and only puts 7k Kms on it in 2 years? They don't deserve it.

Was doing well until I came to the part about benefiting from a full respray. If it needs that then it's pretty optimistic pricing?

Not really if it's truly worth 30k?

Drove past it regularly on one of my routes... He has a 964 Turbo and a few other interesting yokes. As does his neighbour!

I’ll guarantee pa from Limerick has a few good stories to tell....the beemer prolly has a few to relate as well...that colour match...

So it must be six months since I posted this car and it's STILL for sale. I'd almost ring him at this stage to offer advice on how to sell a car.

1. Take the bow off the car.
2. Remove the tacky "front splitter" that clearly doesn't even fit.
3. Remove the healight eyebrows, its not max power.
4. Take proper photos that aren't through a fisheye lens.
5. Remove all the guff like "IMPRESS THE NEIGHBOURS !!!" from the ad.
6. Stop selling cars, you're terrible at it.

And the pack of smokes in the centre console lets everyone know the car was smoked in. Nothing worse and completely off-putting.

One of the first things I ask about a car I'm interested in is "was it smoked in". if it was then that's it off my list. I smoke myself but never in my house or in my car.

Also, the ad says that they are giving a 2 year UNLIMITED MILEAGE warranty.

Not seen that 8 in a few years but the last time I did the paint on the nosecone was only a bare step up from a brushed on job. I don't know who has it now but the previous owner wouldn't have filled me with confidence.
