I know this should be in the ebay feed  , but thought more people would see it , and perhaps save it from no doubt being broken .

 

Its poorly listed so i doubt it will even go for £500

I don't think it's worth 500 quid.

 

That needs LOTS of love

That car may be close to being uneconomical to repair.

 

The roof has a hole, the o/s A post has had it and there's a lot of rot in the seams.

 

That's without everything else it needs

The bit's will be worth the £51 it is now at

 

heck it would be worth £250

 

as said in the description trashed but probably cheap

 

better to put it on here , than ignore & the bit's get scrapped

Mmm repairable?? yes but would it be worth it well i don't think so. If you got it uber cheap then breaking it for any spares might be the only option i feel. It will do something for somebody so good luck to whomever wins it.

Look at it, it's calling out to me. 'save me........saaveeeee meeeeeeeeeee...'

 

'Ill be good, i swear'

 

Think about the end though Carl, you would compare it to the before shot and wet yourself with excitement because of the achievement of restoring it.

It's certainly all there by the looks of it.

I just wonder what price you'd get for the spares from the car?

Well, the bits that haven't rotted away are there.

 

The hole in the B post is a bit horrific
