It's in an auction for a reason....I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole tbh when there are some really good examples around right now about the 30k mark.


A bit like our house when we bought it: "It took longer than I thought it would and eventually cost more than we had".

Exactly that sort of thing, it's a 35 year old car that's been polished but not much else looking under the bonnet and rear chassis member rusting, it just looks unloved to me..
