Quite a rare sight today,pure seventies styling.
3 owners from new,lots of service history.
Hellas metallic in colour with a brown vinyl roof.
Beige velour interior.Bodywork in good condition,
vinyl roof is tatty.

The mot ran out on May10th 07,it's done 269 miles since the previous mot,so should sail through.When i went to start it earlier
today it wouldn't fire up,it smells like no petrol is getting to the carb,so may have a blocked line,or the pump is faulty.Previously
ran and drove great!! It's taxed till August 08.
I no longer have the space(or time)for this car,so need to sell it on.
I'm looking for £500 for it as is.
I dont get on here much, so CALL 07769680547 or 01525860472 for more info.Located close to J.10-M1.
Thanks for looking.

If I had the space...

The guy had this up for sale last year when it was running for around £1500 I think - should be a guide to the condition its in. Bargain with a quick fix for someone.

spoke to the chap last week and seems a bit of a bargain. Does sound well solid. My only concern is whether because the vinyl roof has ripped down the one side, whether that has beome a bit of a water trap around the o/s edge of the roof???

Never had much experience with Vinyl on the roof. Bit of an unknown entity. Does the glue used affect the paintwork underneath? Has it lifted/bubbled and then cracked or has something torn it from above. Its hard to tell from the photos.

Think he said it was down to brittleness and has just lifted, which means it would have been gradually and water could have been getting in there for a while if it's been parked up outside.
easy fix is to treat the roof and recover it with vinyl again! What ya can't see ain't worth worrying about!!!

Should be alright I would have thought unless the paint has split. The glue on the paint should have kept the majority of weather out.
