205CTI SORN since 2005!
Discussion
So where do I start, apart from I am new here , never been on any forum before and really need some advise/help, so apologies if I do not follow the correct etiquette.
I purchased a 205CTi back in 2000, drove and loved it for years but ended up putting it in a garage and sort of forgetting about it. When we moved 6 years ago I transported it to a barn where it has been sat gathering dust until now when I need to move it.
The car was in excellent condition, except the drivers seat had a small rip in it. It has done just over 98k miles, had 3 former keeper and has a full set of old MOT's & service receipts. I has not been started for at least 8 years as I am to nervous just in case the cam belt has rotted and snaps.
So why I am posting this, what should I do with it?
1. Try and sell it 'as is', if so any idea of how much to advertise for or where to advertise (prices seem to vary loads on autotrader). Anyone interested, as I think this is my preferred option?
2. Restore it and sell it, if so anyone know who might do this for me in the Essex area and thoughts on costs etc.
3. Find another location to store it, as the prices are going up and worth the storage costs.
Thank you in in advance and if you need any more information, please let me know.

Hello David and welcome to the wonderful world that is 'PH'. Between them there's nothing that PHers don't know!
This forum is one of the quieter ones so if you don't get any joy after a few days you could try:
'Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes': https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&...
or maybe 'French Bred' (I just got that!): https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?h=0&...
