I'd like the seats, if anyone going to bid for spares. Can get trailer to remove, take to wherever.

Just to let those of you who are thinking of bidding for it, I registered to take part in the auction next Saturday week, as I've had it inspected and verdict is structurally sound.
So if that purple was the start of modifications to banger-race it, why wasn't it completed? I know it runs and drives, and was even MoT'd until recently: we will never know.

Does it drives backwards though? ha ha

You're right it structurally sound. Though I would be careful about the amount of filler used where the rear sill end meets the arches. I had new arches and sills put in about 2014 and I'm fairly sure he did a **** job of that area - plating over rotten panels (not the sills or arches of course)

I can tell you any more stuff you need to know

Out of a 164 that a chap on this forum turned into a drag car - light metallic blue IIRC

The rears aren't too bad but both front backs and squabs have numerous tears that I glue black leather in from behind with EVO Impact Adhesive

Baskets are long since buggered

Not the prettiest - but a cool colour
