Its not dead mate. I say forget going crazy on your car and buy that Yours is fast any way. And you can make that one faster back to its former glory.

I feel fully sorry and hurt that car deffo needs saving. Really don't understand when people put things like that don't ask about service history. Yeah it might not be good condition etc but service history can make a difference.

I'd say its a complete money pit. It got mapped in its past and then laid up. I would think due to developing a nasty fault. It then sat for nearly 10 years - which in itself can be devastating and 4 years ago they had a crack at getting it ready for a track car, purchasing new tyres etc but then didn't see it through. I suspect that 4 years back they realised just what a state it is and decided to throw the towel in and walk away rather than chucking even more cash into it.


Might be wrong but considering what I would be worth once back on the road, you'd surely need to spend more on it getting it to that state than it would ever be worth?

Agree with the above. Even in great condition, it'd only be worth £3k.

aaai your right there I thought same at first but seems a straight forward ad and a genuine guy selling it
it would be a nice example if all was to be put genuine and inthe condition it's in I wouldn't say more than £1k mark but if he gets £3k he's laughing good luck to the chap

Its been sat outside for 10 years by looks of it. If it had been dry stored then worth it. But outside no chance.
