Is that the car plus £1800 they're offering you?

That is nasty mate. But if you do buy it get yourself a nice donkey jacket to match.

Right,something dodgy here,this is the post.

Which I took to be the nice silver one at the bottom to be the item in question HOWEVER clicking the eBay link reveals a different 'Tina?

Perhaps it's my poor reading or is it a cunts trick?hmmm!!!

True,looks ok in silver with alleycats on it.

The old man had one between 1982-1988,was a crock of shit tbh back then but in the cars defence it received no servicing in the 6 years the old man had it.

2.0l gl auto in a quite nice metallic red with BROWN interior.complete with 3 colour smoke on start up due to my old man being the only person in Britain not to convert to a manual choke and my mothers efforts to start it by continually flooring the accelerator on cold start.

It rotted like fuck then and between them they crashed it about 4 times but never managed to write it off!!!

I remember the old girl going into the insurance company in town to claim for a headlight!!!

Ahh,the days of £0 excess and no premium increase!!

This brings back memories I had a 2ltr Giha back in the early 80's and I loved it, in fact I have still got a unused full plastic body kit for one up in my mothers loft which I never got round to fitting, it consisted of side skirts with a front and back spoilers that fitted under the bumpers, it was all the rage back then.
