Just saw this appear on their dismantling car list.

Dammit that's what I want!

It's actually a 1981 (mk1) car...and it's not getting dismantled ;)

The car is for sale, if anyone is interested. I picked it up to avoid crushing. I'm not looking to make a profit on it. It owes me £325.

Any information on it? Condition needs etc?

It's largely complete. It has an annoying amount of rust on body surfaces, but it's much better than you might think underneath. I'll be loathed to part it out, but it might come to that if a buyer doesn't come forward. I had someone lined up to take it on, but he lost his storage.

It needs a nosecone, wings, doors, rear arches, plus localised repairs in other places. In an ideal world, you'd replace the roof skin, but it can probably be tidied well enough for now to see it to an age where a re-skin is clearly justified.

We've been trying to make it run, but it seems to have a poor spark. Points and the coil are the current suspects!

I'll post some pics when I get around to it.

cheers
