it was a B reg (1984?) was orange with a badly ripped cream hood, the guy said it hasnt been started in a year but recons a new battery will sort it out. A lot of the chrome trim had rusted and some was missing and the guy said it had done about 90K. When I asked how much he wanted for it he said 800 and he wouldnt budge. I offered him 500 and he told me to F*** off! he was really quite arogant
The worst thing is he told me it had been sat there rotting for 6 years, i just dont get it. Id of loved that car

i wouldn`t of offered him that much if it`s as bad as you say, i take it no tax or mot either.
think you had a lucky escape
-
yea it wasnt that bad actually, it had no body rust just the chrome trim but the main thing was the roof was shagged. Its just a shame to let it sit there rotting don't you think?
-
No rust that you could see anyway!
Sometimes they're too far gone to be worth the hassle, expense and stress. For the money he's asking you can get a road-legal runner. Let the thing rot and invest in something worth saving!
-
agreed! fella for the price he was asking you could of got the one in my sig exactly how you see it! and it was in good condition except for a little bit of rust! and it had mot for 8 months! to be honest fella there one on edition 38 for 400 16 valve conversion! it comes with no seats no sterring wheel or wheels! but to be fair it would only need a couple of 100 to get it all together! plus it has mot on it! hope this helps!
-
i think i would have poked him in the eyes tbh m8 like every 1 has said there plenty about with ticket on them that could be easier to do ur self
good luck with the search fella
-
Cheers for all the constructive comments! Yea the one in your sig 10:27 looks really nice. Ed30? http://www.edition38.com/forums/ I gather that is there? Im going to check that out now. The search does indeed continue I have cash waiting for one so fingers crossed eh?
-
yeah thats the one fella! its is a minter was better when it was complete but at least you get to stamp your own mark on it and 400 quid get a seat and a steering wheel and your off!
