1986 Leader...

Doors are all shagged (and where are you going to find a set of Leader doors?)... but could be worth doing up. A rarity, I guess.

I know where there are a set of doors, I had one of these from March to June last year..I'm totally gutted that it is so far away I would have snapped that up in a shot..

I reckon that`s easily saveable. Are Mk2 doors not the same and if not then surely some nifty work with bit of fibreglass would sort those for years to come?
Bandit, is this somewehere near to you? I had to get a translator to understand the seller`s address!

Vert nice. The doors would not worry me, and being silver should be quite easy to get a paint match. One of the GT doors had gone in the bottom corner but a good rust killer, proof, primer and paint saw it looking OK again, the only problem being a very slight colour difference. Those seats would clean up well. I personally reckon it will get snapped up with the buy it now.

I couldnt resist it :oops:


Owen I may come visit you! hehe, Its cheap tax and less than £100 insurance and a bit retro basic, If anyone really wants it let me know Its only worth £50 to me to be fair as thats all I can manage right now.

Thanks Adam, I love Mk1s and would love to buy your GT but thats far nicer than this one, I wouldnt worry about leaving this one outside under a car cover like I would the beige beauty!

Thats fair enough Tim; I would buy that one now if you really want it or at least contact the seller, other wise I reckon someone might snap it up and it will be gone. It looks rather nice to me that one. Once the door bottoms have been sorted it will be great.

I only wish the Digit (which is exactly the same colour) was in as good condition.

I'd consider sacrificing this one to restore the Digit... If I had the time/space etc.
this might be a signature

Agreed Adam but £150 for a BX 14 with No mot or tax is a bit steep me thinks, plus I dont have £150 spare right now lol

It would be a shame to break it david as its essentially a sound car.
