I bought it off the guy (good mate of mine) who bought it off Nick for around 7k. When Nick had it rebuilt they didn't put the tensioner on the timing belt and it all imploded and it had to be rebuilt again.
I wouldn't actually say it was in showroom condition when it was bought off Nick but it was/is pretty damn good. Rustwise there is a bit in the tailgate which needs cutting out and some surface rust appearing on the roof now. When nick put the BOV on, it wasn't measured properly and upon closing the bonet it has left a dent in it which I'll get around to removing eventually.
You may get the impression I'm not a fan of the original owner and I'm not. Reason being, when Troy (my mate who bought it) called him 3 x weeks after purchase to let him know there was a problem due to a faulty rebuild, he was told " too bad, not my problem you don't know how to drive it" which I reckon is a pretty shitty thing to say.
At the moment it's still pretty good and I've done some mods and have plans over the next two months to make it REALLY showroom worthy. I wouldn't part with it for under 10K at the moment and to be honest I don't think I could bear to sell it anyway. Just love it too much despite the dramas it's put me through
btw, I paid 7k for it and have spent around the same rebuilding bits and pieces and getting it PROPERLY mechanically A1.
