I Bought this with the intention of breaking it but it's really too good

Really not my taste but I can see it's appeal!!

 

Probably not as good as the pictures make out but still looks smart

 

Loads of money spent, new wings, scuttle, suspension etc.  File of receipts and history

 

Will need sill repairs and doors steps, plus the thrust is noisy.  Interior is a bit tatty as well.

 

£2250

Do you have some more photos of affected areas needing work as well as the interior.
Thanks

Depends on how high your standards are!!

 

For me it would involve a repaint to original British Racing Green!!

 

It looks ok to be honest, not perfect but acceptable.

 

Will need the sills sorting, the steps sorting plus probably a couple of other bits.

About 96k I think, runs well enough, sounds nice.

 

I've been whacking it with a hammer and it doesn't look bad.

 

Pop over and have a look,
