Default my 50quid car!

here's my 1300cc mk2 4door i got off of a little old lady in my town!

She's a one lady owner, 58k miles, full service history car, completely standard, bought in the town i live in!
Had done 17k miles in the last 17years, and all the documents to prove it!

iv changed a few bits and pieces on her now, to improve the handling etc
she has got -2" 180lb springs and -2" lowering blocks,
a 2" single box, peter lloyd exhaust and 4branch manifold,
and 185/60 r13's on the original steels.

needs a few bits of body work sorting, (minor things, and the wheels refurbed) but thats it!


been garaged pretty much all her life.
i bought it for 50quid! nearly had a heart attack when she told me how much she wanted!! with tax, tested and 3/4 tank of petrol!!!
hope you like her, she's my baby!!
