Have you seen the state of the interior.

Looks like a garage trying to offload a trade in.

it is really bad but how much to replace!!!

 

[Dieselman]

And by the way, the car is too bad for the dealer to get it through an MOT. They say it's a Resto job..

 

[jpskiller]

someone could knock him down on price and have a nice restore/project then

 

[Rob77]

It certainly does look cheap on the surface but I'd agree with Dieselman. The seller is a dealer and if he can't even get the car through an MOT, which is a pretty basic test of roadworthyness, it must be bad.

It would be interesting if someone bought and restored it but it wouldn't be me.

Such a shame, it could be stunning if looked after

I wonder how an interior gets in such a state with a hardtop? For a passenger seat to be THAT worn???

Its not what you can see, but what you cant see, that would worry me.

I have had a couple of those fixing them for the local garage, when they are bad they are horrible, tin worms munching away, rattle smelly draughty

Not enough to cover the cost of the MOT you'll need to be able to transfer it.

I dont think the plate would be worth anything.

Id guess a rotten floor and sills. Better off paying sensible money for a late 107.

The bulkheads rot from the inside, once that has gone the car is scrap.

From your reply, I guess you're from Dormans. Who do you imagine has "put garage as bad trader"?

As far as I can see noone has even mentioned the garage, the comments have been confined to the risks associated with possible ownership of a car of the type on sale.

As to it being an MOT pass, for the sum of £450, there is nothing in the advert to suggest that this is the case - it specifically says "This Vehilce is a MOT Failure, Restoration Project".

Am I missing something?
