Selling it has spares or repair, even though mechanically there seems to be very little wrong with it. Just had new belts too.

Seems a shame, since the mot history looks solid.

Hi, the car needs paintwork by the sound of it like lacquer coat is crazed on bonnet and roof.

Still a nice looking car though... and wont be too far away when a car like this will be snapped up at the rate that they are disappearing...

The photographs are deceiving, I went to view the car. The bonnet, roof and bootlid all have major laquer crackle, they look as if they have been scrubbed with sandpaper. The inside of the car was full of condensation, the instruments and clock were all misted up. Even the back windows. I felt the carpets and the rear floor areas were soaked in both footwells. The water getting in has affected the rear lighting circuit, the rear lights activate in a Very random fashion. As for cam belt change, there is a handwritten mention in the service book, no receipts to back it up. The engine ran okay but had been started before I arrived as the engine was warm when I lifted the bonnet. When I revved the engine I could here vis motor rattle. Car could be saved but financially its a money pit. Needs someone to work through the car front to back. Personally it was beyond me, the paintwork, dodgy electrics and soaking rear carpets put me right off. Not to mention no receipts for cam belt change. Needs someone with deep pockets to save this one.
