Are they Saab Alloys? I have never seen ones like that. Low mileage it may be, cared for it aint, anyone fancy growing potatoes in the drivers foot well. That carpet would never clean!

63,000 miles. Interesting if you want an S2 car. Even if you don't it's still quite interesting.

Hi Robert ,

I'd seen the E-Bay ad yesterday, but I was to busy to post the 'spot', I too was wondering what make of car those alloy's were ORIGINALLY fitted to, look's like there 17" dia. so probably fitted with low profile tyres will equate to a more firmer/harsher ride (Therefore not for me thanks) also you would need to inform the insurer's that the wheel/tyres are not the standard fitment when it left the Citroen factory !

Also note:-

I bought the car local, from a doctor, who had bumped the car in his own garage (how on earth!!!). I had to replace a grill, headlight and side light. The car is a Cat C.

Which mean's it's been the subject of an insurance write-off sometime and should have had a 'VIC' test at a VOSA testing station. If anyone is going to bid for it I suggest asking the seller a) If its been done, b) How long ago, and c) If they know what extent of damage/reason for the Cat. 'C' write off (It may not be because of the previous owner/Doctors accident, as IMHO/experience that small amount of damage should not warrant a Cat. 'C' write off) ?

Funnily enough, that is exactly the damage that occurred to mine before I bought it and that was a Cat C. I bought it, got a secondhand grill, lamp and sidelight and indicator for £50 and then got a VIC done at a VOSA testing station.
