Not sure what it means by VTS engine (Citroen Saxo?), and there are no photos of it, so it could be horrific, who knows? Car looks good, though.

1. If I was in the market for such a car, I'd want to see under the bonnet to see what's been done to make that engine fit.

 

2. I would also want a Reg No so I could see how it's been "MOT'd". Too many questions for me - is it even registered correctly?

 

3. Saxo VTS engines made a smidge under 120BHP out of the box. 170?? What's been done to it to make that much power or is it pub talk??

 

It's a poor advert for what could be quite a good car. Not my cup of tea though.

Not entirely convinced by this car. Buyer beware methinks...
