Again a £100 for a car with no MOT and high miles! Mind you DTR turbos are getting rare.

Only rare to us nutters, others will view as scrap...

Sounds almost identical to my daily driver 1989 DTR turbo, the £60 wonder with both tax and ticket for about 4 months. Granted, that was cheap, but starting a car like this at £100 and without photos has to be a silly idea.

I would like a white 19DTR non turbo as its a car my dad brought home which was a "pool car" when his was in dock, it was ditched but I spent hours cleaning it and sent it back shining (in 1989), had the lovely hard wearing grey herringbone trim and all the extras, BX porn to me back then lol

I had one of them too, and scrapped it as it was somewhat rotten, and a bit of a shed. Shame, as it was a freebie and even had about 38 minutes of MOT remaining.

If you remember the "BX hanging from the gantry" picture, that was it.

I wouldn't ever get a mystery car without an MoT again - you just don't know what you're going to get into. I once got a free GSA with no MoT - and spent about £500 and a couple of months getting it to pass. Not good.

Then there was the £50 Saab 900 which only failed on minor things, so I fixed those... and it presented new faults at the re-test. Fixed that, and again new faults at the second re-test. So I put it back on eBay where I found it.

I'd bid higher if he'd MoT'd it and posted the fail sheet; at least then you know what work you need to do.

Shame though - that car's a nice spec.
