The car has been off the road since 2007 but has been stored securely in the garage.
Good Points
The Engine is the original 998cc unit and it turns over by hand, it was running when it was removed from the car. There is a new clutch for it in with the parts.
There are some new panels included in the sale: front panel, wings, A panels, rear valance and some pieces of floor.
The rear subframe was replaced a couple of years before the car came off the road.
The V5 log book is present along with keys.
The bad points
The synchro between 3rd and 4th was starting to get weak which was why the engine was removed.
The bodywork has rust in the usual places and it will need a good few panels replaced. I have lots of pictures if required.
The interior is missing but was not in good condition anyway.”
