This is the car. You'd think that at that asking price it would be a minter. I checked it's MOT history and it failed on corrosion on suspension points!

Perhaps cars from the 1990's are not for me?
I emailed the guy this morning, and he has told me he is taking it off the market due to being overseas on business. I had said I wanted to view it at the weekend, but would be taking wheel ramps to have a good poke around underneath. Maybe this put him off my viewing???

I thought the interior was awful looking, and asked if the original was there. That was the only real thing I could fault it on via the advert.

I doubt very much that there are many of these cars, if any, that haven't had a bit of welding. It is all down to the standard it was completed to!

Just be careful if you do find one, to check there are no blisters on the roof. It's not a rub down and paint, it's a new roof most likely! It's corrosion from the inside out. Terminal in many cases........
