cyborg Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) I have come across a galaxy ultima 1997 which has just 50000 miles posh kids school runner! I liken it to finding the grail,the ultima has been handed through a family .So I bought it from london and fixed it (mass air sensor)It has service history til 30k and same garage mots for last 6 years.It had a bodged grill repair so sourced an original match.The cream carpet has been covered with a original full length cover so under neath the carpet is new!!As is driver mat.The pedal's amd steering wheel have minimal wear .Its drives better than any galaxy I have ever had.I spent 4 hours shining the original wheel trims.lol.Another 6 just body cleaning with canarbra wax.It wouldn't take much for it to be a concours show car and am sure there isn't meny like it left as often broken for trim seats etc.This is bespoke as it gets.Had it on ramps no rust! original exhaust ! Now here's the crunch I Spent a long time dreaming about owning one unfortunatly. I do not have space to store it or the time to keep wheels shinny. This car is for the enthusiast,I hope it goes it a collector who has time to spend to get it ready for concours.Or someone who justs needs a break with a good car.At the moment this car is strickly for owners club members first.I couldn't believe the miliage. I was like yer right pull the other one, so I checked vosa and am gobsmaked its genuine. Faults/todo list.Aircon,light dent passenger door,cruise control,One wheel is scuffed,plastic v6 engine cover. Price ? Best offers? Whats it worth? please all help decide. If you want to test drive or just admire you're welcome . I will post some pictures tomorrow. Edited October 31, 2010 by cyborg Quote
