£1500?!? Surely you could buy a working one for 2-3x that amount complete with all important front wings as well as doors in a colour that match the body?!
Wow lets buy it think of all the positives 1, its 20 years old but will have less corrosion than the 210, 2 its a 5 litre v8 with no doubt fmbsh and 3 its had a big shunt both ends so is obviously an easy repair.
Suprised didnt say immaculate pre accident condition
