Such a shame. I would have loved to have got that in my workshop to do a proper job on it!

Early nineties you'd have struggled to give em away same as any other cossie, an early owner of my old 500 sold it back then for 5k which ment same as any other car it could have been owned by anyone.
It was his car and if he wanted to see it rot then that's his choice.
Not that special in my opinion just bigged up in recent years to silly money which they just arnt worth unless anyone's daft enough to pay it, most disappointing car I've ever owned especially in standard form.
