Hope someone takes up the offer, nothing on that list that would unduly worry me on a free car. Looks decent. Unfortunately already have 2 otherwise i would be tempted.

It is simple!

Those are all repairs you would expect from any car over a certain age. Get stuck in and fix them!

It was always my intent to give this up at the end of Feb as my wife is getting a company car and I'll be taking her i10 which does more mpg and costs £30 a year to tax! I can't justify the running of this anymore but I have bought a Euro Millions ticket just in case. The scrappy has offered £80 but I'd still rather give it to an enthusiast if possible

Have you given any thought to e-bay Mark?

Funnily enough, I bought this on eBay about 8 years ago. Unfortunately I just don't have time now and I'm needing the space freed up urgently.

I've just accepted the offer from the scrappy and just waiting for a pickup date. I'll close this down once it's confirmed but will leave it open until then just in case. I feel really bad about this but circumstances dictate all I'm afraid.

Scrappy will make a fortune on this now. Shame really.
Chromed door handle protectors for someone and nice Sandstone interior.

Yeah, I’d love the PPD interior for my other 75.

Looks like a fairly typical annual list, for my car.
