Yup. Did you notice if it was a t-bar? There was one for sale last year that turned out to be a Cat C even though it looked quite nice (Dale's was a sunroof model).

Very jealous, I couldn't run to that kind of money but I'm sure in the long term you will benefit from buying the best car out there, have fun!!!

Would love to see some pics, mica orange is definately my favourite colour. I don't understand why it's so rare and the cosmos blue pretty common in comparison... Not a popular colour in the '90's? :-k
That is a very rich price if it's an n/a even for a mint example, or is it a turbo or even a beams perhaps?

Nice one, would be great if you could post some pics once you have a chance. I doubt you will see too many other micas, even at shows!!!

Price was ok for a genuine 65k mile car I think. I didnt pay it all. :eye:
It is also spotless, the sills are mint, jacking points not even knackered!

I'll post in members profiles in a bit.

I'm in the market for a rev5, only had white mk1 b's until now. My rough rule of thumb for rev5's is £1k=useable car with high miles, £2k=tidy car sensible miles, £3k upwards for rare cars in v.good cond. micas are just about the rarest uk cars and I think you have a bargain. Just my opinion.

Cheers for that. I certainly didn't consider it expensive given its condition and rarity. :thumleft:

Hi sam I think I know what car you may of seen. I've spotted a bright orange mk2 parked in norwich just off the corner of waterworks road. Not ever seen it out driving just parked up. I'm a taxi driver so always spotting 2s around and there is a growning number in the area its good to see!
