Its certainly one to stay away from in my opinion.

Saying that, if you can get it for say £7000 ish, it'd make a great track car.

Looks the same colour under the bonnet to me, but just filthy.

Its obviously had the colour change when it was reparied at a guess. Doesnt mean its dodgy though in my opinion, although maybe a little bent.

Depends how well its been done i suppose, but looking at the badge layout on the back, it doesnt really fill you with confidence on that. I wouldnt want it for anything other than the track though personally.
