Over the next few months I will be turning this into a crock of gold.
It could not have come down to Cambridgeshire from further away...Kinloss in Scotland.
For a very reasonable £350.00 delivery charge it arrived last Monday sight unseen..except for photo`s.
If you are prepared to get them shipped down south cars are a lot cheaper up in this neck of the woods.

She needs new sills (3 sections)
Bottom front wing repair panel.
Rear door bottom repair sections.
A post repair.

The rest of the car is really good considering it has been stored away for about ten years.
She runs and drives very well...so not too much expense in that department.

I will keep you all imformed of her progress.

Any parts or spares would be great to improve the old girl,please let me know if you have any to sell.

I was wondering the same thing:- I've got boxes of parts for these including new inner sill, toolkits etc I could do with finding a good home for them.
