In all her Glory. Cost me £100 to get delivered from Central London.

Nice and snug until she can get an MOT

Needs Tax and MOT and then she's good to go.

What condition is it in? Either way, you got a good deal, and it certainly doesn't look too bad from the photos.

She is by no means in mint condition but nothing massively bad that I can see so far. Usual rust areas, got some tyres on order so I can drive to the MOT Test which shouldn't be a problem.

She is drive-able and will be a rolling project.

She is going to need it. I am fully expecting some failures/advisories but that will put me in the right direction for what requires work.

Just been looking through all the old MOT certs and many advisory notices, some of them don't add up to a pass. Or, more likely, it was some bodging to get it through the MOT i.e areas that required welding, passed, but then required it again the next year!

Fortunately my mate got a lot done when he originally bought it, we'll see how she fares next week when she goes under the knife. >_< :lol:

The interior is in good nick, there is a tear on the drivers seat but nothing out of the ordinary and I can certainly live with it for now.

Well the white one was mine but I have donated that to the wife as her daily drive. This leaves me to walk/get lifts until I get this one on the road.
