First off, many thanks to all those who have replied and made personal enquiries about the car, it was a little overwhelming and quite heartening to be honest! I shall reply to all personally who asked about it.
The car now has or will have by the end of tonight a new owner, and it sounds like he's very, very enthusiastic about it which has made my day ;D
I shall leave it up to his discretion to tell you more about it when he has time
Thankyou again all, this is a truly great site and long may it live!
I hope he gave you something for it or will do when he scraps/completes the project.
As I said,not sounding cynical but I've been caught out myself with something like this before,I gave away a car free to someone who I was told really needed transport back and forth to work and by the end of the week he'd rallied it up the mountain and sold it for scrap after he'd burnt the clutch out,left it outside someone's house and resulted in me receiving a nasty visit from the police.
I stopped charity after that,I also gave away a Porsche 924 once for £200 and all the guy did was moan about it too me.he sold it a month later for £800 though,never heard him complain then!!!!
I hope this pans out differently for you mate as the feeling you get when you get ripped off is not a nice one.
I can tell you that the car is not going to the scrap yard. Got a call from the guy that has the car and he has got a few people together to work on it.
