I picked this up yesterday, went to see it and could not pass up a old icon like this for only £500 has 2 or 3 little things that need looked at but nothing major very sound car, I have no use for it as i have my TVR and my Volvo v40 tdi so i will use it for a couple of months tidy it up and sell it on and try and make a few pounds on it, or option 2 is track it.

Here a few pics when still dirty, when i gave it a polish yesteday and it has Metallic paint under that dirt and looks quite good now

Good value for money, you decided what you're going to do with it yet?

My friends wee brother is thinking about buying it off me for £1000 after i tidy it up tax it and sort all the little bit n bob so could make a few quid on it to fund my Euro tour in the TVR this summer. My dad has a 2.0l 850 that is on lpg and getting a bit tired now and we may use all the lpg kit out this and let him have it. But i am waiting for my insurance documents to come through to tax it so i will use it for a month or so and see how i like it.

Is it a manual?
