Anyone near Croydon?

Just wondering if anyone knows this car 120418793631 (ebay)?

I am very keen - it's what I've been after for some while now.

Just wondering if anyone knows about it - or fancies having a look at it for me (MP style expenses paid) !

Thanks

It's nice but I think it's gonna be rustier than the pics suggest. You can see it going on the rear arches at the bottom, so then I'd suspect rear of the sills aren't gonna be great. Also the front valance all round, and thus both front wings.

Looks like from the old thread he had sills done for the last MOT.
I'm keen - worth a punt for a long term restoration.
What's it likely to be worth with a couple of holes in the stern? £200?

Front wings are still available from Volvo (and others), repair panels for sills, inner and outer rear wheels arches are available from NOR/Klokkerholm through Hadrian, Beavers' etc. Go for it!

I am :oops:

If you've got the restoration mindset then go for it, I think it'll still go for more like 300-500 cos it looks so good overall

Well, I think £600 on the road is about all I can justify to the MRS. Could need £100 on welding, say £100 for MOT after a few bits and bobs that it'll no doubt want... Rent for six months... I could muster a bit more, but it's tough.

There's a minty 340 I know of at the moment... but i really do want something a bit different. Guess you gotta pay for it.
