Guest goodison1972 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Newbie saying hi! looking at picking up a G plate Tennis - potentially this weekend, I know S2 RS Turbo's quite well but is there anything i need to look for on a Cab? How do you know if a Tennis really is a Tennis? car in question... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272218079652?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glewy Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Mileage history doesn't add up on mot history check. . https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ Appears to be a solid car tho. No advisory on any corrosion in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian71 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Original car has no body kit or rs bonnet. Should have half leather seats with zolda fabric (as rs turbo 90 spec) Black body moulding with a peppermint thin green stripe along the side.Lattice style wheels (as ebay pictures) and white roof.

Guest goodison1972 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 hmmmm just data checked it, its come back as a CAT C in 2004.... not sure what CAT c means. i guess its been involved in a major accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allblue Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 v5 - not always, depends how the original ford dealer filled out the forms for DVLA. Cat C means significant accident damage which was deemed uneconomic to repair, but capable of being repaired and put back onto the road. This affects it's resale value - if you are interested in it, check carefully where the repair/s have been carried out and quality of work. This car has been on ebay for some time now, so no doubt people in the past have walked away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
