I was just about to list that on here. The road the car is allegedly at is about six miles from here and I used to work right opposite where it is.
However according to the listing the car is in south Wales. I have come across a few cars this chap sells (usually cheaper/older cars) and they are all in south Wales though I think he`s bought one back himself according to his feedback.
There is the potential I suppose to get this car (and others like it sometimes) cheaper if you have the bottle (nothing dodgy) if anyone`s interested p.m me and I`ll tell all.
If someone contacts the vendor and can get him to bring it up here I`ll certainly go and have a look at it.

that certainly looks like a difficult repair not one i would like to attempt. :(

Easiest repair is a new A post and some very carefull welding but as i said not for me. My weldings good but not that good

I scrapped a C reg 19DTR last year which had gone in exactly the same places as this, but not quite this bad.
They think it's all over, it is now!

:? Either that or because its done 160,000 miles it could have had a replacment window screen and on taking the old one out the fitter has scratched the paint round the window causing it to go rusty over the years! :(

I'd be quite happy to do the repair!

I've seen BX's rust in the roof before, just like an old Ami!

Perhaps, but I wouldn't be happy to drive in it afterwards. Why the hell bother? Good cars are readily available at a price which makes peanuts look expensive.

Thats what I thought until a 16v finished at just under £1300 today!
