Right, my mate and I bought this car from an old boy down the road who has had it from new and was going to part-ex it at a main dealers, it looked too good to face an uncertain future as a trade in so we bought it I took it in for an MOT on Friday and it went straight through. I have not had time to wash it but will look a lot better with a good clean as it's filthy.
The bodywork is in excellent condition, never been welded and no rust at all, the sills and arches are perfect. The paint has not faired so well as the laquer has gone on the roof and a small patch on the bonnet.
The only thing letting down the rathercamp jazzy interior is the side of the drivers seat where the old boy had trouble getting in and out of the car.
The car drives really nicely and reflects the low mileage. I started today for the first time since Friday and it was a little bit lumpy starting from cold. One thing that did worry me slightly was there was a little bit of blue smoke, not sure what this was, perhaps valve seals? I find it difficult to believe it's anything too serious as the mileage is nothing for one of these engines and there was no issue at the MOT - anyway something to bear in mind.
The car would benefit from a good run as it's only been used for short runs and the old boy said he didn't think he'd ever had it over 40
probably due a service as well
All in all it would make a brilliant retro runabout for someone. If it doesn't sell I will keep it and use it as my daily, the only reason I'm not keeping it is I've just bought a 205 and I'll end up loosing money on it. I'd like around £650 for it as this is what it owes (we had to match the dealer's part ex offer - tight old curse word) 07960604106 if you want to know more or have a look at this rare limited edition exotic car ;D Car's in Wallingford Oxon
