Looks to be quite clean from the pictures, a bit of rust round the back but not much and well priced. Even has the mudguards and spats.

MOTed until July 2017, registered in November 1985 so fairly early example.

There seem to be a few cars in this colour popping up for sale at the moment, not everyones favourite but I like it.

Nice car but no feedback from the seller. What's the reg plate in the window about?

The seller is a dealer, hence the trade plates in the window. This is why it is reasonably priced as well I would guess :-)

Looks a nice example for the money. Wonder how bad that rust is...

There are a few members based in the North West, if you are interested maybe someone could have a look at it for you. Try posting in general and see what happens. Accrington is not that far from the ferry at Liverpool or Manchester airport. If I was closer I would do it :-)

Must say, that looks really tidy. No mention of milage?

"PROPER RETRO CAR THAT TURNS HEADS EVERYWHERE" I've found this to be true :)

Just did an MOT history check there and it passed the MOT with 125k miles. However the number of advisories for corrosion was worrying to say the least.

I have seen this car and the lad who owned before the trader got it asked me advice on the bodywork , a quick run down ,1 its needs full arch repair kits both sides , 2 inner arches need doing ( rear ) front valence looked ropey , its been welded before in places . To do the work and paint yourself would cost around 600-700 in parts . The lad who owned it didn't keep it long and i think if you have to pay to have this car sorted it will be a money pit for sure

Thanks for the heads up. Knew there had to be a catch!

I'm a bit cautious about that one tbh.
Can't work out if it's a supercharger shell with a standard engine or a standard with lots of sc parts on Inc. heater, steering wheel, rear lights, strange switch on the dash.

I'd be very cautious, advertised as 1988 with low milage 79,400, last MOT says 1987 with 121,762 Might be an import as the early Mot's are in Klm's, doubt its an SC shell as it has the standard NA battery tray and engine lid.

The beige one mate
Fair enough mate, it looks OK in the pictures but nothing like having a good look. Still got the probe :-)

Looks tidy mate, are you going to Silverstone this year?

Its an import , the fact its a auto , it has the cover and space saver in fronk , and air con . its either a 86 or 87 car going of the colour . looks quite original to me and the mileage might be right if you combine the kph and mph from past mot's . This might be the only t bar in the uk in this colour .
