I'll try not to take offence to the 'no fun at all' and 'more reliable' commentsOreo is still going strong 102k miles on and has never missed a beat.
It's a shame you aren't keeping her original though. I looked recently, for insurance purposes, at how many are left on the road and it's only 39.
If you really want rid, I'll come and collect it. I'm only in Rugby

If you want a few quid for it then I'd suggest advertising it. I've just finished renovating a house, so I'm beyond skint.
However if you just want rid, I'll come and collect it

I'm going to see the car on Sunday to get the carpets out, give them a wash & reassemble the interior so I can make my list of missing parts. I'll also be assessing the wires to see if they're actually going to work or not now.. with the car flooding so many times last year I think it'll all be useless.
It'd be amazing if I could hear her start for the first time this year..that's going to be my aim anyways!

Good to hear you're keeping the engine. I would have done the same. I think you will be able to hear the engine start as it is now if you really wanted to? I had her running without much effort and I think I sold the car with all of the parts that helped her run. Whack some fresh fuel in, put on a fully charged battery and give it a squire of easy start. She will make you smile.

Yes! Nice one @VwChlo_I'm a bit of a b*gger when it comes to saving the small blocks, especially the Formel E's. But once you have her up and running and taking her to shows, you'll soon see that they're much loved. People are always surprised Oreo still has his engine
I've been reading up on the engine & am really warming to it

Managed to find someone that'll sell me a windscreen cheap! Hopefully that'll be bought before the end of Feb

Do you want to know something annoying?
I sold the car with a windscreen. I paid £60 for one and drove to the south of Leicester to collect it.
I wish I had sold the car to you direct and not to the bloke that got it.
There was also a new seal to fit with it.
