Re: advice on possible purchase
If its a rev4 shouldn't it have the indicator repeaters in the front wings?

which the other advert looks to show.
2 ads - bit wierd - but could be one owner of both garages and put ads up for both ?
Re: advice on possible purchase
i guess it's best to give Gibson autos a call and find out why it's advertised in Glasgow too

Glasgow is the next major population base and within easy ferry journey so a lot of N.Ireland car sales pop up on there.
Also I have seen some (supposedly) Rev4 models without airbags, possibly early models?
Re: advice on possible purchase
true, I just put that here because I was sure I saw that car pop up before.
rev4 should have both airbags this looks like wheel has been removed?
We can guess all day, just check it out when it's in the uk :>

and at the price,if thats all thats up with it,
its got to be worth it.

Re: advice on possible purchase
It does seem a good price for a rev4 plus the interior looks very clean and very low mileage
The number on Glasgow gumtree is a kilmarnock number just down the road from me
