    Is this Kris's old 1a?

    Has risen in price since though and is now in Wales. Still looks tidy though:

    That car was one of the best bargains to pass through this club since I have been a member. It was a bargain

    Shitting Nora! Cheap or not, I sold just in time if it needed £3k spending on it

    If it genuinely has been pampered to that level it will be a great car for someone. Shame he hasnt painted it, thats what it really needed back when I sold it.

    I would take the £3000 spent with a pinch of salt Kris. He has not even adjusted the handbrake properly

    Indeed Tommy. I did give it a "chinny reckon" when I read the ad, because the brand of battery and tyres are the same as I sold it with... so while its possible they are new, its also possible they are not. It got new kybs and polybushes while with me too, so it really didn't need them replacing either.

    From what I can see cosmetically its had the spats fitted and also some painted cam covers. Bizarrely someone has painted the front rad gold. Oh, and hes ruined* the front end by putting a Toyota sticker on the bumper!

    At the end of the day anything could have happened to it since March 2015 when I last saw it, so maybe it really has needed 3k of work.

    Ultimately thats up to any prospective buyer to decide, but I would urge them to inspect the paintwork carefully. The blistering wont have gone away, but the warm weather and a thick coat of wax will hide it well.







    *my opinion, others are available

    Maybe it is the result of a certain Mr Brown selling all our gold
