It may be the only RHD black Beauty but it is still only worth what someone will pay thats why I am open to offers, what do you forum people think it is worth.

If it helps, both my mk1s have been cheap (like cheap enough that I'm not sure I want to own up to it...but under £500 each), but both have needed work. A really, really good one is surely worth four figures to the right buyer. The rear 3/4 is bound to be a bit of a turn-off, but the car is good otherwise, so it's not a huge deal. It's whether or not that right buyer is around at the time...

cheers

Bloody ****,
Just looked up where you live.
Passed the place in June with my 343.
It is tempting me seriously...

It would really help to know a figure.
In my case I would have to add some money if towing or driving it back....

Ideal car but I don't have £800 right now either. I'll have it in the new year if you've still got it. Deal?

I am in no rush to sell as i love the car but it would be nice to pay of some of what the wifes car has cost me, so if i do still have it in the new year its a deal.

Just out of interest, are those bumper reflectors aftermarket or not? As others have said, they're not exactly pretty :lol:
