anything mechanical need doing?
engine bay a mess, or standard looking with all the parts etc in the right place?
any mods?
correct wheels?
correct suspension or cheap coilovers?
how's the bodywork condition around the sunroof?
how bad is the interior, do all the seats need recovering/replacing, or is it further? Dashboard? door and side trim cards? etc

Are Campaigns not only 1984 cars on an A plate ?
Chris I think 83 as well but I'll let the real Campaign experts wade in on that!

well the cars mot ends on the end of april and the car has no mods on it mechanically its original and the paintwork on the car is original too its a metalic grey and the car has its original campaign wheels and the sunroof has a new rubber seal on it and i was underneith the car and its solid "chassis rails and floor pans and the interior does need restoring the seats are torn in a few areas and the headliners loose aswell but apart from that the cars in good nick even the engine bay but the owner doesnt have a price to sell it and i just wanted to know what price i should offer to him and how much the car is worth cheers

To be honest though being in good condition is the most important thing for buying a mk1 these days campaign or not.

i paid £1100 for a white Areg campaign 12 months ago needing work, sills and floor are sound needs work on the roof wings n front panel, i also sold a Helios Blue one 9 months back again requiring a lot of work, and missing parts for £1200, however im told a runner with no mot now is worth £3000 ????

Sorry i tried to upload pics but unfortunately the computers going against me can i ask how do you use the campaign check ? cheersSwerve said
Hi Baddon15 just for peace of mind have you checked the car with the campaign check list what's on the forum just to make sure it is,as I don't think metallic grey is a campaign colour I could be wrong though 👍
