Rather interesting Amazon VWW on eBay just seen

Possible good base for a restoration project, either keep LHD as probably wont be overtaking a huge amount, or perhaps take opportunity to convert to RHD.

Interior looks not too bad

Cheers

Well find me another 15k mile 144, and it’s red😀

Is it a stunner or a money pit??

Cheers

There was a low mileage orange 144 that I considered but the two door 142 for me is much better looking, it also had the big bumpers etc which not a fan of. 71 is my favourite but earlier 140s look good too. Safari yellow is also the best 70s colour. 👍😁

Arrived a few days ago thanks, and as far as I can tell, it worked OK on 12v.
Parts chest started… a long and slippery slope😀

When I had lorries, any spares I had would never be needed, something else broke!🤨👍

Steve 940 · Nov 4th, 2023, 16:15

Getting back to 240’s rather a curious case ???

On initial look not that bad, but on closer inspection bit of rust on OSR wheel arch, then checked DVLA registration and last v5c only on 26.10.23

Someone bought a week or so at a snip, and trying to flip for a few ££

Cheers

It doesn't look too bad, but with whatever those arches may point to, I wouldn't give more than £2000 for it.

Ditto, also looks like the right hand bonnet hinge is stiff as well - bonnet is a funny shape in that area.
