Been and had a look mate. Got few videos and photos which I'll get up when I can but tbh wasn't brilliant car. Rear bumper has split in it and would need a bit paint. Needs full brakes all round as there is a lip on all 4 and pads warning on dash. Oil and fluids seem okay. Gearbox is as floppy as a horses cock with movement in every gear. Clutch seemed ok but pal said maybe linkage wear. Drivers seat bolster has wear on outside. Battery is brand new so couldnt check radio. Didn't look like code was there as no handbook. Had fair amount of water ingress into the boot from somewhere. Panels seemed straight and original as they should be for HPi clear. 10 owners from new. Lights all worked. Smoky as hell but vauxhall diesel so not sure how bad they usually are. Shocks and springs seemed fine. Computer showed average 32mpg.


Pics........









And I think the key says it all...........
