Mk 2 Gold 360 GLS 5 door
Posted: 24 Sep 2012 10:57 pm
12 months M.O.T.
Tax untill end of October 2012
Insured by me at the moment for test drives
Currently dry garaged as it has been always (according to previous owner)
2.0 B19 carb engine with electronic ignition
88154 miles
First Registered 09/11/83
5 door
Met Gold (Beige on V5c
)
Former keepers 2 (I'm the 3rd, 1st and 2nd were Mr. and Mrs. original purchasers)
Original service book stamped to 59,523 miles, many if not all receipts up to and after. Not many past M.O.T.s however, although loads of the receipts are timed with the annual M.O.T. date so show that work was done for the M.O.T. each year.
Despite all the paperwork I can find no record of a cambelt change since 24/05/93 at 55,000 miles
YES 1993
Chist almighty, I was sill a student then 
Needless to say I've not driven the car very much but enough to know that drivers and stops perfectly.
I priced up a cam belt kit the other day at about £50 and I'm sure I can fit it. For the cost of the belt kit extra (about £50) I'll fit it free for the buyer who pays the price below.
It goes without saying that the belt needs doing before the car goes anywhere under it's own power.
Bad bits
Yes there is cosmetic rust, the front valance is starting but better than many I've seen, the lower front wings are a bit rusty very low down. There is a hole under the battery tray and a small hole in the rear arch (inner arch not visable outside). Advisories that need doing to preserve the long term future of the car in regular use. The brake pipes have been sprayed with black stuff which when scrapped off shows good metal beneath.
£685
Before anyone makes any comments,
Yes it is more than I paid for it, but I took a gamble in a hurry as it then had only 1 1/2 months M.O.T. and I didn't even look underneath it. I've also had to M.O.T. and insure it.
Yes it is more compared to what some cars go for/have gone for in the past but then again, a 1.4 went for £543 yesterday and another (lower mileage) 1.4 went for £871, both on ebay. A similar (3 door same colour) GLS did go on ebay for only £160 a while ago but that had no tax, no M.O.T. gearstick problems, a dent in the front wing/bumper and a very rusty bit (but it had some rare wheels
)
No I don't expect it to sell quickly if at all at that price, but then again I don't really want to sell it
Edit: 5 Good tyres, nothing expensive but quite new as far as I remember.
