catsinthewelder Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 FFS that Austins less rusty than mine (in places), about 30 miles away and currently £50. It might be worth buying for the starter motor and some repair panels. The main tat thread has shown us that an 1100 will fit in a Luton van and I have one available. I don't think I could break it though, it would look too sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in a JCB bucket for gods sake, if you can use it for parts then just get it, you can't save them all, and I guarantee you that if you don't get the use from it then will end up in a crusher, starter motor and all.... warren t claim and Charlie Croker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 That Lotus is worth about 2.5p, the door handles are about the only thing salvageable, what a cunt. Seller is also clearly a dealer and is wanting daft money for parts that are rotten & fucked.
