Saw it on ebay and thought...why not! Got it cheap,going to get it back and probably share it with the mrs over summer and se what happens after.

needs a bit of tidying and sprayjob

I thought you might have bought it to break it Cheap enough car tho

Is it any good, must admit I thought it may be a little " in need of attention " or had seen a rough life, but I'm sure you have plans and it wasn't too expensive.

yeah it looks a bit used and abused! but why not eh if i get the summer out of it and even sell it on im not going to loose out! first job is to swap headlights...personal taste etc but prefer the originals on a cabby!

now what do i do with the ellipsoids?

I'll swop ya

I spotted that the other day and though it may have potential if cheap enough. You'll get 200 back straight away on the headlights and I'd ditch those wheels as well for few extra quid.

With the NG 10V you get to enjoy the best sound track available in Cab format. De-cat it for a very satisfying exhaust warble

Cash in the front bumper also for a few bob, you shouldn't lose

It is the thing I like least about the car as well. I wanted a manual but the ones I looked at were in rough condition. It was when my 80 had been stolen and my Mini was in need of some serious welding, I didn't have time to wait for a manual to come up for sale as I needed something to get me to work. The auto box makes it a surprisingly good car around town, but if I'm honest, that doesn't make up for the compromise in other situations. It is still an excellent car though.
