I can already see some typical 480 issues with this (idling a bit low, infocentre not working or very dark, the obvious rusty wheel arches) and that sunroof is usually something I'd recommend to avoid as they are often just another cause of water leaks.  Brilliant cars though...

Bargain! Think they're actually A55 MK1 judging by the thumbnail, which is the model I own. Do you have a link? I'm struggling to find it in their catalogue.
 
It's hard to find. It's under buy it now plant auctions. On page 2 near the bottom.

It's striking how similar to my Alfa 147 that is. In terms of the layout and location of various interior parts, the vents etc.  Then you get to the engine bay and it's all very similarly laid out too.

I went to the golf yesterday. If you had a BMW (or Mini or RR) you got to park in a special car park for free.

I wonder if this would have qualified?

No BMW Chod unfortunately (I was really hoping that someone would rock up in a badly beaten 1994 316 compact)

Yes all that really looks salvageable are the rear lights and the interior, that one looks like trouble

This is very appealing, tidy looking Escrot MK2 1100L for £6500. Of course the foglights, rear spoiler, and black back-panel are not stock, but the price is very reasonable:

Fuck me, that's been in the wars a bit. But a C3 100CS 5-pot was a cut above the other C3 100s. The only things better than that were the 200 / 200 Quattros. And if by "factory wheels in the boot", the seller means these:

the original Fuchs alloys, then the wheels alone are worth having - they also look well on the B2 Ur-Quattros.

Pity it's in Gainsborough, otherwise I'd be tempted to go and have a look.... This looks like a job for @Spurious

Oh god don't tempt me. In the comments he's a bit arsey about what the reserve is, wonder what he wants for it (probably too much). 

I'm seeing the value creep up in these now. They were sub 2k cars in good nick at one point but like everything recently, everything's on the up. 

 But those alloys are delightful.  5 bolt too. Wonderful. 

When I get a garage (soon) I'll be on the look out for a 4x100 version of these.

There weren't many CSs sold here (I only ever saw one when they were available new), and they were the only ones to get the all-red shaded tail light lenses.

Like the 200s, they also had 5-bolt hubs.

In 1972 this would have been 50 years old, the equivalent of a J-reg Mk1 Escort now.

Get a Ford 16v Zetec or a Vauxhall red-top in there m8.  And a rubber boot spoiler.
