I bought one for 500 notes a couple of years ago. It looked ok on the out side but it was dog rough with hardly any chassis left when I got my teeth into it.

It has now been spread around the country and has helped keep other RSTs on the road.

not bad daz, this one is solid, just needs two small patches of welding
for MOT and thats it. all panels seem original and no evidence of crash
damage and all door gaps etc line up well
