Hi all -
MOT is up on my white 1.4 5 dr (F-plate), and wife wants a 'new' car. Still taxed until end of Feb, so maybe you could drive it away...

Good points:
Tow bar, good engine (no crankcase pressure, no cream cheese, not burning oil, not leaking water, no funny noises), new fan belt, two new rear shocks, NSR new wheel cylinder, OSF new brake hose, good 4-speed box, 3 very good tyres, plastic volvo floor trays, interior reasonably clean, radio cassette. Inner sills and rear arches welded 2 years ago - solid.

Bad points:
Body scruffy - large dent in rear OS door, front bonnet edge rusted to holes, lots of scabby hand-painted patches. NSF wheel arch holed badly inside - will need welding I think for MOT, and I have not the time to do it. Oil seal in timing case is on its way, but oil is cheap and it stops the bottom of the car going rusty...

If someone wants to come and drive it away, I'll take 50 quid (must be a tenner's worth of petrol in it!). If no interest by end of weekend (Sun 10th?) I'll consider breaking it - send your reuqests. Bits will be cheap, and you'll be welcome to take it apart on my drive, but the missus won't tolerate it there forever.

email me on m dot r dot avis at salford dot ac dot uk

cheers

Mark,

I will take it off your hands. Another car can't hurt can it?

Great Dai. You'll want to shift it whilst it's still in tax. I did 1100 miles in it over Christmas - it will drive anywhere quite happily, at about 40mpg at 60mph. NSF tyre has slow leak, but it will stay up for a week at a time so unless you're going to Timbuktu...

Ring me on 0161 881 9270, and leave a message if I'm not there.

cheers
Mark

Cheers, I'll give you a ring on satarday if that is ok.

Dai -
No phone call - changed your mind?

Mark

Hi Mark,

sorry I forgot all about giving you ring.

I'll try tonight.
