Yep, technically £1200 with hard top but I sold the hardtop for £200 (it had a dent) a day later..
A friend was emigrating, had left things to last minute to sort and needed to offload it ASAP and said "tbh if someone offered me a grand to take it away then fine"... So I did
It had been sat on the drive under a tarp for 6,5yrs, started occasionally. Tyres had been sat so they are shot and the roof leaks so the inside is mouldy in places, stinks, and defo needs some TLC
I put some new fluids in, a new battery and some nice new Tesco 99 and she fired up fine and runs just nicely. so just gotta get new roof and tyres and then it can be MOT'd. Hopefully nothing too much of a problem with that.
Thinking if all being well spend some money on track bits first this time rather than supercharging straight off. Some decent suspension, tyres and BBK. Spent some time out in some properly prepared cars and it's so much better to defy gravity round the corners than just relying on pure power to burn down the straights.

That's the sort of deal one can only dream of. Take it away for a bag...

What an absolute bargain. Although you could have offered him £2k and been a better mate 
Depending on your timescales, I'll probably have suspension, bbk and braces up for grabs early into 2018 and as you're quite local...

Oh and wipers don't work, they just kind of jump slightly when you turn them on, rather than actually swishing. Not stuck to screen so i guess motor has issues or mechanism is somehow rusted up. Hopefully not too many more jobs though from what I can see atop and beneath the car.

Whilst you may be right as it stands now... In fairness when i bought it he billed it as a wreck which didn't run correctly / limp mode, roof didnt work (and leaks to f***) and was mouldy inside. Now running fine and roof operation fixed, still leaks like a barst.
