Full years MOT, very good condition. Only little bit of rust is a couple of blisters under the paint on the bottom of the boot lid. 2 local owners from new, 55000 miles with old MOT's to back it up. All original. Drivers seats has a couple of splits in the vinyl but apart from that very good.

I know what I was planning on advertising it for but, wanted to see what you knowledgeable people thought?

Cheers, Josh.

thats a very tidy example! id say about £3k for it, nice unmolested car like that deserves a price to match! love the colour too!

2 grand

I have to say that my initial thought was £3k too. Could go a bit higher (on ebay) too as some folk do get carried away when 'tax-exempt' is mentioned.

How much restoration work has been done?

Two pack paint ?

I was planning on advertising it for £2.5 - 3000. It's exactly as I bought it, all I've done is give it a check over, a clean & changed the clutch hose. The previous owner said it had new wings, I'm guessing the floor pans have probably been replaced. I think it's probably had a re-spray at some point, think it's 2k paint.

wouldn't think it would of had a floor with the body number tag still being on it...

Inner sill has been changed. not a usual place for a body number

Love it! I only wish I had some money.... I would think you will get at least 2k for it, should be more.

Ah shouldn't it be on the LH side floor pan? and thinking about it wouldn't it have the tabs on the floor for the carpet the clip onto???

2 - 3.5 K depending on the quality of the work / paint IMO

Yes clips for the carpet and pressing holes with bungs in the corners of the floorpans.

The body number should be on the slam panel on the near side i think. (no, i am wrong, it should be above the rad on the inner wing).

The passengers side has the holes with bungs & clips I'm pretty sure from what I remember.
