Sorry. Don't know the car but seems expensive. Seeing as you can get a RCF with less miles and newer.

My thoughts exactly, unless of course four doors are a must.

Yes. Maybe the four doors are the attraction.

It's another example how strong ISF values seem to be at present but does seem out step with a newer RCF for the same sort of money.

I needed 4 doors and the ability to get a toddler in and out, so RCF was a no no for me, even though I think they look great.

working out pretty well so far.

Don’t know anything about the car, but I did go to this dealer to look at a ‘Immaculate’ 250 SE-L but Had to walk away pretty soon as their version of ‘immaculate’ was let’s say not the same as mine!. Didn’t even look inside when I found the front bumper was loose!

I agree. 
imo the design is overly fussy. Too many angles. Also not a fan of the fake exhaust tone that comes trough the speakers...

Don't suppose it really matters ...... but aren't all the wheels back to front? I thought they were intended to be thinner edge leading into direction of travel.

Seems somewhat overpriced.

It just goes to show how subjective the looks of a car are. For instance, before I bought my RCf I saw a red one at my local petrol station, I hadn't seen an RCf before and it just instantly appealed just on the looks. When it started up I was nearly sold, i went back to my computer found out it had a N/A V8 monster and i was sold.

For the record I went to look at an ISF many, many years ago, I liked it's looks and sound but the early cars ride instantly put me off, which of course is now blown out the water by the Tein active coil-over system for the ISF a member on here has installed. My Mini Clubvan was transformed from a bone shaking experience to a limo like ride when required with this Tein system.

ISF prices in the states are increasing slowly, I think the ISF will be the car that will be the like the Mark I Escort, “the original” V8 irrespective of the GSF and RCF’s advancements, the latter two will increase in time but I think they will always remain in the shadows of the ISF......japan reckon 50 U.K. examples will be very sought after in time

Love the preamble guys but getting back on track...

Anyone know anything about this particular car?

I went to see it and the paint was in very poor condition. Front and rear bumpers removed at some point and then not regifted correctly.

Wheels refurbished but to a different shade than oem.

Probably the best person to seek advice from on knowledge of ISF would be @Big Rat, ratty did compile a list of cars and their history to occupy his time, not sure if he’ll know anything on this one, I’ll message him directly as he’s not on the forum much these days

Have heard from Ratty and he said it’s well known, front n rear bumpers painted, possibly from a shunt, his advice is to steer clear......hope this helps
