Right then, time has come to think about the future of this car. I am beginning to think I cant afford to give this car the care it deserves. I am very concerned about slowly destroying a good example purely becuase funds are tight.

SO, its kind of for sale, this depends totally on what offer is made. It will only be sold if someone pays enough to show that they will take care of it. Low offers will only make me think it won't be cared for.

Thats the reasons for the sale, now the good and bad bits, ill start with bad, get it over with.

Bad

Rust- A small hole in the nearside arch, about 1-2 cms, no scabbing around it however. There is also a big scab on one sill, passed mot fine last year and it doesnt seem to have got bigger. Other sill has a patch but all very well done with a full respray on that sill.

A creese and the nearside C-pillar, diffcult to see from a distance and IMO only adds abit of character to the car. Paint it fine

A few stone chips on the bonnet and front of rear arch (on the weird little flare just after the door)

Still has its spring problem BUT THIS WILL BE SORTED IF SOLD, also exhaust bangs but this was fitted as standard to all late 360s as im sure you know. A slight blow as well but again WILL BE SORTED IF SOLD.

Good

The following have been done during and since summer

Timing belt (@120,000 done hardly any miles since) and all other belts
Fuel pump
Water pump
Service, OIl, filter, air filter.
Dizzy cap and arm
Fuel filter
New wheels and tyres

I removed the rear wiper, the back of the car looks much cleaner.

Has tax and MOT till march 2012

As most regulars one here know, this car looks great, the paint point is great and always gets comments.

Featured in RC this month!!!

Will come with GLT wheels, tyres in poor condition.
Comes with a spare airflow metre (fitted with an apparently modified one)
A few other items you'd be welcome too, they could also be sold sperate.

I have no idea what ill replace it with, maybe a willaims, but fire away with offers, I just want it to stay a great example.

I might be interested, but according to the rules you need to put a desired price. Also I don't know the car so need year/miles/spec, in particular compression ratio, power steering, sun roof, replacement shocks, any other parts replaced.

I dont want to give a price, coz i dont really know what i want/what its worth, so ill say £1,000,000 lol!

Its had new front shocks at the beginning of summer. It has just over 120,000 and its a 1987, i think its high compression and it has power steering.

Last chance. To comply with forum rules, it needs a price.

I've left it this long as you are an established member and a valued one, but no one is above the rule book. If there isn't a price in 24hours, the thread gets deleted.

Yeah, fine mate. I don't want to come over a c*nt, but if we start letting anyone slip then it'll just be used against us later on and the rule will just be ignored completely.

No, I realise Chris :) I hadn't even thought about the rule before I posted, so its my fault. I just really don't know what I am going to do with it, so putting it out there that I'm open to offers may make a descion for me.

Just write "1500 pounds or nearest offer". Nothing wrong with that ...

Cheers
