Im intrested in this. (and my missus dont tell me what to do lol) Just wanted to ask a couple of things about paintwork, How rusty is the bootlid? is it salvageable or would you replace it. Same question for the wing.

Is the bonnett chippy aswell or just the bumper.

Looks mint in the pics but i cant let rust spread mate. im sure you understand.

maybe as you're relatively new to the forum you maybe dont know Bill. He has to be one of the most helpful chaps on here and i know he will be totally honest. i thought of this car when i just read your post of "what car"!! best of all worlds here really!

Hi mate - sorry for the delay in replying, not been keeping an eye on my thread!!

Not really pushed the sale of the car much at all to be honest, and I probably haven't done myself any favours with my ad, but wouldn't want to big it up out of proportion and then have someone travel to view it and be p'd off! I've possibly painted a picture worse than the bits that need attention actually are.

I think I've priced it very fair for the spec, and tried to take into account that someone may want to make the car look as good as it is mechanically.

Maybe it seems too cheap for the spec, or having to do ANY body/paint is putting people off, I don't really know (or care I took it out for a good blast the other day, and am questioning my sanity for even putting it up for sale...)

You have a PM mate, but viewing is best so you can make your own mind up.

Brilliant specced car, maybe teh ultimate road conversion?
owned and meticulously maintained by one of the straightest, most honest guys ive ever had the pleasure to meet. His picture will no doubt be less rosy than the car, of that im sure.

Someone needs to buy this car before another one gets broken for spares.

Is it still the same price? If my car sells this weekend then I am in the Market for an escort, but my budget won't stretch quite that far......

Hi Maria, I know! It's been a loooong time. And fancy seeing a mini PF crew in town - didn't even realise you were down this way at the time.

3dr Matt - £13,500, else it will be broken for spares. May take PX, but prefer straight sale.
