I am listing on here to see if there is any interest.
I would like the car to go to someone who will keep it on the road.
I will keep the car on the road till the end of this year, then decide it's fate.
The local scrap merchant will pay £100 for the car.
The main reason for selling is the welding required, as I now do not have any co2, tried with cored flux wire but not happy with the result. so I am not longer up to the task.
I am looking for £200, another £25 for all the extra gauges, led's etc, and extra for road tax that is left.
If there is any interest I will upload some pictures.
Viewing MK45 area till Wed 28th Nov, then new year
