    Phase 2 OE in white?

    New poster! (less than 10 posts)

    Hiya guys

    I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting in the general section! I'm trying to find a 90/91 in white if possible? are they many around? if so do you know of any for sale? I'm not in a rush and will wait for a nice one to surface

    Thanks

    Paul

    Which is why you've got two threads running in the last 24 hours



    What you're after is not impossible to find, but they're not exactly growing on trees like they were 15 years ago. You'll be very lucky to find one at the drop of a hat!

    Sorry

    I'm just seeing if they do exist lol, I guess I'll keep my eeyes peeled

    Do they normally pop up in the For sale section or by word of mouth?

    Thanks

    Re: J Plate low miles?

    Low mileage "minters" can turn up anywhere really. I've seen them pop up on classic car sales websites, Autotrader, and even Ebay. You've probably got less chance of finding one for sale on here than you have elseware. It's just a case of keeping your eyes open, and hoping for a little bit of luck. As I said, they are out there, but they're not ten a penny. I'm sure one will turn up, but be prepared for a long wait.

    +1.

    I bought a 1989 GTT with 92,000 miles, yet it feels and drives tight as a nut. It's in pretty damn good condition as well, bar a few little bits.

    I have been thinking about selling one or two of mine to make room for some new projects, but the money would have to be right and they would have to go to a good owner!

    theres been a few of these so called minters floating about early this year but none of these were white, the only mint white standard one ive seen i can describe as mint was owned by a guy called ohms on the old site, but like other members have said these minters do pop up now and again
