I had one of those when new. Quite a nice place to be, but I wasn't paying for the petrol! The autobox was a bit slow, but the ngine in a lighter car with a manual box cold be fun.

Seem to recall that the two back sparkplugs are pretty much impossible to get at to change, though, so do them while it is out.

Tough buses these,elite gets you all the bits and bobs too but as you guessed worth jack shit,probably see them advertised at Ł1000 from total and utter dreamers but in reality a Ł4-500 car.
Scrap wise I'm gonna say a two-er but it can be area dependant etc.
Great drifters these though,that could be a route to go down.
I've seen one semi converted into a pick up and it looked quite mad!!!
I'd buy it myself as a cheapy but I know there poxy on fuel which will piss me off and I'll end up scrapping it myself!!!

Do you want to sell it?
I've got one I use for towing, a 3.0 elite estate, a bit tired though.
The Elite has self levelling rear suspension which = good tow car.

Nice comfy barge only down side is 10 mpg (towing at high speed!)
