Righty doke, been out with the camera, pics show the good n the bad. The nearside door is the worst, I'll let the pics do the talking

 

 

I have put this on egay 4 times now and dealt with timewasters.

 

Tis a cracking motor, just need the space n ££££££

[Captain Mainwaring]

Sorry for the unhelpful/non-sale related post, but I think it looks better on those wheels than on those Clio alloys.

[boobydoo]

Can't believe this is still for sale to be honest. It looks a nice motor for that money. Hope you find a buyer soon, mate.

[MajorGav]

Agreed. I posted the ad on twitter yesterday and was met with unanimous praise for the car. Actually did the same when it was up for £2,995 and lots of people were admiring it.

 

But admiring isn't buying and that's the problem right now.

 

I'm half tempted myself, but the main thing is that I hope it goes to someone who will maintain it and sort out the minor issues. It needs preserving.

 

Good luck and sorry to clutter up the thread.

[Wal]

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

Putting a price on the car was difficult, you don't see many for sale! Yeah it needs some TLC, once its done it'll look the nuts

 

Fingers crossed it will go on egay this week!

[Wal]

Didnt sell on ebay, AGAIN, so its still up for grabs

[Minimad5]

It might be an idea to come along to a meet or local-ish show with it, just to try get that extra bit of interest and "publicity"

 

Good luck Wal

[Wal]

Cheers fella, let me know if there are any meets comin up, could do with a sale soon as

[Wal]

TTT we go

[Wal]

Can't believe this hasnt been snapped up??!!

[Pete-M]

It looks like quite a nice thing.

 

Unfortunately, £1800 buys one hell of a lot of car at the moment, and people don't appear to be spending that kind of money on fun cars right now.

 

Good luck with it anyway.
