B3 3.3 Oh so tempted for winter use

[B10BRW]

I have just taken my B3S BT off the road for the winter, but will suffer withdrawal symptoms for a few months
This B3 3.3 has been for sale for a while, and I am very tempted to use it through the winter, " on winter tyres" am I mad or should I go for it.
Mileage is good if genuine, not too taken by the cloth interior, but I have seen a nice leather interior which would replace it.
I am a sucker for Red cars, as far as I can tell it is No. 57 in Hell Red.
Sytners press car.

Is it worth the asking price

Not mad, and I'd say probably worth the asking price; looks a decent car from the pix. Personally, as a winter-runner, I'd live with the seats, too...or sell them to someone needing original cloth seats

Why take the B3s BT off the road?

Just put some winter tyres and smaller rimed alloys.

I have a set of 18" ALPINA Classic alloys 8 x 18“ 225/40 R18 92V with MICHELIN Pilot Alpin 2 winter tyres, and what a transformation

No problems at all for the past two years.

I, for one, can appreciate the attraction of a nice Hellrot paint job

It looks good in the ad, but we all know how reliable they can be - just look at the car Mick viewed http://thealpinaregister.com/forums/vie ... hp?t=13738

The only way you'll really find out if it's worth the money to you is by going to view/test-drive it. Luckily it looks as though it's fairly close to you so you won't be investing too much in the way of time & money to do so

I think I've seen this one for sale for quite a while. If 'first to see will buy', he's not had any viewings in that time
Does look good in the photos, though, and I'd prefer that cloth interior for winter.
