More car you cannot get for £2k. 

Oh dear. Is this going to be the new "it's 24 years old so tax exempt next year"?

Also refers to the engine as a TDi in the description, who knows what fuel it's had in it recently...

Looking at the advisories on the last MOT, it's clearly closing in on "low cost, massive liability" territory quite rapidly.

A quick gurgle reveals the garage in the service book exists, at least. Much better MOT history, with the only concern being the corroded front jacking points.

Helluva lot of car for the money though.

Looks like it , I wonder how many will just add 6 months to their old MOT date then plead ignorance when they get pinged by the ANPR

and promises to be cheap.

is this the fast engine mr? Assuming it is, I’m really quite taken by this.

it’s stalybridge, which is too far away from me to be able to collect in the requested timely manner, which is a shame.

Alright, lads, scored some right good bush the other day and the missus is going fucking proper radio about me rolling a fat one in the house, so I'm off to find somewhere to toke my nuts off. Hey, this looks pretty gnarly man,  wonder if the seller is open to viewing?

six out of the first eight of this dealers adverts say similar. I gave up looking after 8.

I am presently highest bidder on this but it won’t last............ Nice to dream

Good luck. Have you got £20,000 for the restoration? I should have bought my friend’s Sm when he was selling in 2009 - owned in bits since mid eighties and fully restored - half heartedly asking £15,000. Now probably  twice that.

I have no chance of getting it, but if I did I enjoy the challenge of hunting down parts for (relatively) next to nothing, time is no issue. The Capri took five years and Covid aside would have taken 7 or 8. If I do get it (no way), it will get zero on paint, be made mechanically and structurally sound and be driven as is.

Have an identical car that recently ticked over 300k km, never taxi'd and on its second battery pack. They are a thoroughly excellent car, although visibility from most angles is terrible. Or I'm just used to 80s cars with lots of glass and tiny pillars.

Also, I was very disappointed to learn that the mileage freezes on all pre-06 Mk2 examples at 2999,999!
