145 needs rescue
I hope somebody can save this; 145s are rare now. Too far away for me.

Spotted that yesterday, definitely needs saving. And don't forget it will be tax exempt from next April.

Shame there's such a short timescale on saving it...
 Still, can but try!

The big hole in the roof stops me even considering anything with it.
If someone does want to restore it I should be able to find a gearbox for it. |

I was hoping that this was going to go un-noticed!!
Going to try and save it, even though it may live on as a manual!

or maybe not ....
I went to see this today, but sadly had to view it locked up on the side of the road.
I will not be saving this one i'm afraid as the hole in the roof is just that! There is more gaffa tape around the roof than original material I think, but if someone was willing to spend some money on it I'm sure it could be sorted. It looks as if it has had many touch up jobs done over the years and the tailgate was a little "wobbly" along the bottom, so suspect a good coat of filler along it. Generally very tired bodywise but the underside didn't look too bad from the quick look I got, but with taxi's whizzing by I didn't want to lay in the road for too long!! The rear trailing arm bushes are totally shot and the silencer is "patched", but those are just run of the mill wearing parts anyway. If someone is looking for a project then it would need a lot of money thrown at the body (wings are holed, rear arches need work, rear valance below tailgate shot, screen has tell tale signs of rust etc) but I am unable to tell you much more as I couldn't get under the bonnet etc. Interior is black and both front seats are ripped, back not so bad and carpets present but a lot of "stuff" on them so condition un-known. Hope that helps any potential buyers?
