I looked at an anni recently, it was mint on top but I could put my hand through the hole in the front o/s and n/s jacking points.
Carpet was wet in both front footwells and could be seen from underneath :shocked:
How it got an mot is beyond me...
Guy wanted £1800 for it :grin:

Mine was solid underneath, pretty low miles for its age and I had hardly any interest priced at £750 (only payed £550 myself with full service) ended getting a swap for a cupra and jumped at it

I would guess they have mostly been broken for conversions

I notice this a lot, I bought mine on autotrader and didn't find out it was a 16v until I phoned him and quizzed him about the badging and engine bay
