I can only assume that the shadow looks like he could kick you head in without breaking a sweat , so much so that men never refuse his low ball offers.

Or  so hunky, that women litterally put up a car for silly cheap just to get him to come and visit them

£100! Bloody hell, well done.

For context, look at this one... Yeah I know it's not identical but my point is with some elbow grease and effort these are extremely saleable.

The clutch on our is riding high too. I'd be interested to know the fix.

It's actually fairly easy to adjust them, I just used a YouTube video when Mrs Knott had hers. From memory it took no more than 10 minutes.

@theshadow, before you buy a new boot lock, access the rear of the mechanism by reaching through from the back seats- Plusgas and gentle persuasion with a hammer got ours moving/working again despite the previous owner insisting it needed replacing.

In utter amazement how you got the car for that price, well done!!! Used to have a C1 just like that.

[paulplom]

We have a 2011. I can't sing it's praises highly enough. I paid £1300 about a year ago. It's probably worth more than that now.

Motoring doesn't get any cheaper.

I've bought one years back for 20 quid when you had to pay to get rid of cars but to do that now is bloody well played
