700/900 For Monte carlo or bust

monkeh · Feb 24th, 2015, 19:12

Want to do the 'Monte carlo or bust' Rally, Unfortunately, I need a £300 or less car, So that rules out the 300C, Not wanting to go down the fiesta/escort route, we have all decided on an ol' faithful redblock.
Anyone have a livable 700 or 900 estate they want to part with for £300-400 tops?

An MOT to October is a must, Condition not an issue, as long as the interior is passable for a 2000 mile journey with possibility for sleeping in.
Now I wish I had not parted with my 940 or 760.

I am willing to collect as far as Birmingham, and the car must be driveable to get home.

Fill the boot with chip fat, run it 50/50 all the way...

I'd snap his arm off if It didnt leak, I know a fuel pump repair will cost at least £150 to remove, repair, replace and set up... The 760 had that issue.
