Condition / comment on the car:

Engine/Running gear:
- Rolling road fuel setup last December, gave >160bhp.  Have no frame of ref on this Rolling road and it wasn't intended as a power run, but it was a good indication and the A/Fs were decent through the rev range.  Brand new injectors and modified WUR at the time.
- Car is sluggish at low revs then picks up fine, the joint between Manifold and new exhaust system is leaking which is more than likely causing this.
- Few broken wires in CSV loom, idle system not hooked up fully.  The car takes a few attempts to start if not used for a while.
- Not used much at the moment so brakes could do with a check over and a clean.

Body:
- Rust in few usual places, including bubbling around sunroof.  Filler cap panel and sills are the worst parts. More specifically there is a hole at rear end of the driver side sill that will need attention for next MOT.
- A number of previous repairs on floorpan have surface rust, these are solid and should be easy enough to clean back and paint.
- It had body work done by the previous owner including new boot, rear panel and bonnet, Front and Rear bumper skins, replacement doors and a light metal flake in lacquer over the Mars Red, not really noticeable unless bright sun.  Paint is lifting in a few places including swage line and tops of doors, a few dents including pass side door.

Interior:
- Mountney Steering wheel, VDO gauges.  Driver seat has worn bolter.  Sunroof liner removed (included).  Rear parcel shelf supports and seatbelts have been removed to allow for access for a repair to seatbelt mount (also included).

I took it out this weekend for a 5-10 miles drive and it slapped a grin straight back on my face!  I now commute by motorbike, this combined with a move into London means I can't justify having the Mk1 as well.  If I have a car it will likely have to be something more practical.

I may consider exchanges or genuine offers.

Thanks for your interest,
