Just wondering if anyone is interested in this. Its my dads and he needs shut. It hasn't been on the road for several years - it had the head done (bill was for over 400quid) was MoT'd and was then never used again. Paintwork isn't perfect (bonnet and front wings need re-painting as badly faded), there is no serious rot, and it had a lot of new parts fitted over the years. Interior is OK (drivers seat is a bit worn, but not holed) and the door cards have sagged a bit (i'm being picky). Everything used to work - it had full electrics (SE pack) and the only options it didn't have was leather and the sports auto gearbox. Rear tyres are good, but fronts have perished a bit. Erm, dunno what else to say really. It'd be a shame to scrap it, and i'm sure with a bit of work it could be on the road again. If anyone wants to make an offer let me know.   Car is located in Burnley, Lancashire. Cheers, Dan. |

Don't think he wants any more than £150 quid. Its got a Zender front spoiler, front fogs, factory sports steering wheel, rear blind etc. From memory, for the last MoT it had a new rear box fitted and rear control arm bushes.

I'd imagine the brakes will need cleaning and checking as its not been moved in a while, havn't checked the lights etc but it hasnt really moved since it was last MoT'd a few years ago (its been under a cover, first in a lock-up and then on a drive), so it'll just need the normal things that a car that has been stood for a while usually need...  It'll probably need a good service to make it run nicely (oil/filter/plug change). I could have a better look and get it started and try everything out, but it'll take a few days as it's stored at my Grans old house which is about 10 miles away and i'm busy revising  so my dad will have to go and do it when he's finished his shifts. Phew!  |
