Nice car and I'm interested. 2 general questions to kick off with. Where abouts in the country are you ? What state are the subframes in ? Cheers. Also, was the car on a private plate ? DVLA don't recognise the number in the pics.

Not at all, and to be honest I tend to ignore anyone who says don't do something - I like to make my own bad decisions because the experiences are generally worth it.........

Good point Sam and exactly why I posted. If this forum had been a refuge for owners with problems, they don't seem to be forthcoming. To be honest, I didn't expect to get many replies, these are rare cars to say the least and I'm really happy with how this exercise has gone. As you say, build...

Thank you for taking the time out to comment Mark. My current drive is 23 years old - tech doesn't bother me in the slightest - it's the driving that counts for me. This could well be my last car and I want something that will stir the soul. And this is now 4 "real" reports that don't have...

Thank you for your reply. This is just getting better and once again seems to reinforce my thoughts. Strange glove box issue though but that won't put me off.

Thank you Mike. To be honest, I rather like the awesome pressence of the QP6. Very happy to hear of your experience over quite some miles - I won't do anywhere near that. Or there again, I might........

Thank you for your comments Dicky. I'm more than happy with "usual" stuff, and their respective costs - not going to do this on a shoe-string.

Thank you for your reply Ewan. Sounds like the lack of negative issues could be true then. I would have thought that they have been around long enough for gremlins to have surfaced by now.

Hi all, I'm looking at buying one of these as a low mileage daily driver with occasional long road trips. Fed up with boring, though accomplished, drives - mainly big German saloons. I'm not interested in views about personal tastes, looks, off-set steering wheel etc. etc. etc. Simply folk...

Personally, I really don't like this; each to their own though ;). Kind of reminds me of barryboys.co.uk which I found hillarious. Sadly it's closed now, but still available to view. Some corkers there and I loved the attitude ( especially the "if you are offended" page ). Beauty is in the...

Thanks again Gazcw. Maybe they thought it was too cheap.......

Thank you. Does anyone know how to find the older thread ? I have used all search terms I can think of.

As a 15 year old, two of my dad's friends owned Fiat 130 saloons. Not sure what it was but I loved them. Bought one when I was 21, exactly like this. Wish I still had it.

Hi all, This has been for sale for a while ( hope I've got the link right ). Does anyone know the car ? Naturally, I would get everything checked ( subframes etc ) but it would be great if there's any info out there. I've searched on the forum but can't see anything. Thanks...

I have searched the forums but can't find the answer, so please can someone tell me if this subframe etc rot problem exists in QP VI or is it only QP V that have it ? Many thanks.

Thanks all, hopefully the car is free enough from rust at the moment and I would 100% get into this clean and protect routine. Could anyone recommend an inspection service in the Cambridge area ?

Newbie here, be gentle. Getting back to the original matter, is it your experience that the rust issue is more related to mileage than age ? I know it's an impossible question because the individual car's history is most important. It's just that I'm considering a 2007 QP, 4.2 sport GT ( auto...
