GR8 4 SHIFTIN MINIZ.

Slowly.

I wouldn't buy it purely on the basis of that at some point you'll want to shift a big car and then you're screwed. Might as well wait until something a bit longer crops up and then you're all set to move anything. That thing, even with just that Corset on it look like a prime VOSA magnet.

Now then gang, what do we think of this?
Here's my current thoughts:
+ Sherpa. Super-shite points.
+ LPG & cheapo insurance = low running costs
+ Cheap
+ Ready to use

- Sherpa. Nasty to actually drive any distance
- Bit on the tiddly side!

Now I know cars have 'grown' over the last few years, reckon this could be OK for shifting older chod on it without falling off the back? Again, just for local work not major cross-country exec-level collection & delivery so I can overlook things like the 'sherpaness' of it. What motive power is that likely to be? 1700 o-series??

Is that overhang even legal? And yes it is a 1700 O Series.

The front of the bonnet has been blown over & is dull,& the n/s rear door is dented,although that'll probably push out. Thank you .not been able to get there. Seller seemed decent on phone . Looks worth a punt. Any idea what he'd take. Thanks again

He didn't say,but I got the impression he'd come down a bit.He did said he'd put it on eBay in a week or so if it hadn't sold.

thanks agin 155V6

They had to squash the corsa to fit it on the truck?!

Wow, I'd happily stump up 1200 notes for that Giulietta if I had it spare. Looks like a honey. I'd definately not be getting it as close to the sea as it is in the pics though

Excellent! Not keen on the black/silver plates in some of the shots though, they can be binned.

Noice! And almost close enough to be a viable proposition to bring home. Looks like that could be a Volvo 144 behind it?

Yoou are not alone - and believe me if it were closer to home, K10 or not, it would be getting bid upon and the Mrs could get stuffed with her "where the fucking hell do you think thats goning to live then?" What I really want is a 1.3L in beige.
