Ah to be young and bat your eyelids to get out of everything….
Its a pretty clean car tbf and if it was a full on restoration would it really matter so much these days? Obviously there is a market for a non molested one or one so good its almost impossible to tell.. both would command high prices and judging by the thourough advert I think this guy is going to pull in big money. The scary bit is no reserve.. that says either it was in an old dears garage and he got it for pence or hes going to keep an eye open and bid her up.. Opps Im being cynical Arfur Dayley again… :wink:

Ok...I have read all the faults and bits missing etc etc so not being one to be left out I would like to express my disgust at the missing radiator retaining bracket which should hold the radiator to the front slam panel! Hmmph! :posh:

Well on a closer look,
His grill badge,…. rad rhd side front panel mount missing,….
However none of that would put me off looking at the car, as long as its genuine paint and just a few cosmetics… its a lovely looking one.
To quote myself … You need to find a new one I did that one already

The advert is definitely hyped up. Its missing history between 85-91 and 98-05. I would guess that in the last missing period, the car's been stripped inside and out, and given a quality respray. After then its probably been garaged and used sparingly. For me, it just doesn't look quite right. If you look at things like the edge of the seats, for example, they are not straight or a regular curve; there is slight discolouration of the trim in unusual places.
If it were immaculate - or if it were little worn (you know, with a decent 'patina' applied to it caringly over the years) it would look more honest and therefore more appealing.
I'd say from the pics, worth ?4000-4500. I bet it eventually goes for more though.

Lovely car, only bit I can not work out is on the 360 degree tour
(large pics) in the front view there are pipes coming through
and going on to the wipers, but the washer nozzle is on the bonnet!.
Does this mean that the washer nozzle pipes have been put
straight on to the wipers & extra holes drilled in the panel behind
the bonnet? or am I missing something?.
nice spray job as well!
