Title: Red Ultima Cosworth Estate P-Reg
Post by davemrtn on Mar 8^th, 2015, 12:01pm

Now retired and dependant on pension income we have decide to "downsize" and reduce to one small economical car which means I am very reluctantly parting with my Red Ultima Cosworth 24v Estate (p-Reg)
I bought this from its first owner in August 2004 at around 60k miles now 118,700. The car has the usual "Ultima" high spec. with a tow bar (the previous owner only towed a light trailer for his scrambler m/cycle, I have not used it)
The car has been lightly used as a second car with no heavy load carrying and mostly just me driving.. There are all MOT`s and Maint. records - 14 service stamps. Recent MOT OK with no advisories (next MOT 18 Jan 2016) Tyres 5mm all round.
There has been no stinting on maintenance and in the past year has had Disks/Pads replace all round, new heater matrix and reconditioned gearbox. Also hoses replaced. . Climate Control is very good. The rear wheel arches have been replace. Engine has needed no attention other than oil, filters and plugs, except that when water hose running down front of engine block needed replacing opportunity was taken to replace timing chain tensioners. Exhaust is Stainless Steel. The car runs extremely smoothly. I am meticulous about oil changes and it has always been run on Shell V-Power petrol.
Cons.
Sunshine roof does not work. It didn't when I bought it, with excellent climate control I never felt need to fix it. I think gear stripped, fairly normal fault.
Radio display intermittent. Another common fault, this is my third radio, still have two previous, one cannibalised.
Remote Fob not working. This was OK when I bought car but I expect I have not re-programmed correctly - have spare fob.
Heated w/screen not working. Power is OK so elements u/s - as car garaged not bothered me.
I have some spares which could be sold separately: Rear shock absorber, ABS pump - 6xCD changer, also roof rack (never used)
The body is v.good for year, interior unmarked.
I think these are fantastic cars and never got the recognition they deserved - no thanks to Clarkson. The best of driving cars.
If any body is interest in purchasing get in touch off list -email davemrtn@sky.com or 02089423258. Photo`s available. Any inspection, drive, welcome.
