Thats a bit unfair.
Hes not THAT surly Germ.

pa....i forgot about the clutch btw.

well , got around to looking this over today its done 131,000 miles ( cambelt done at 104,000 )

has a 1721 lump with electronic fuel injection
its got lecky windows , mirrors , heated seats .velour seats
I think its an ES model but its not badged as such anywhere.
the battery is so dead it wont even start with a jump pack so cant report on the state of the clutch yet,
the only rust I can find is on the bottom of the drivers door and it needs a new passenger side door mirror assembly

Sounds like a cool little motor that! and not a slow car (i think) if its an es its 109hp?

Very nice car Mick! Not your usual Golf / Camry fare, eh ?

Keep us updated

Tom

not sure yet whats going to happen with this

hes been quoted £800 a year third party only , clutch fitted will cost him £250 (if it needs doing )
and thats before he gets it motd
he may end up selling it spares or repair and buying something with a smaller lump
just in case he does in anyone interested in the whole car for sensible offers ,
as I have said the engines done 131,000 miles and it has 5 good alloys four with pirelli p6's on
interiors good so are most of the panels .
we havent got the room or time to strip it ourselves so it would have to go as is

tell him to buy a pug 106 my mrs has had one since the day she passed her test 3 years ago and her insurance is only £300 a year fully comp now with all the extras included i.e breakdown cover hire car and legal protection etc she's only just turned 21 which i think is cheap when she first got the car after passing it was £500 tpft on her own policy

ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE!

SEE HOW MY CAPS LOCK EMPHASISES MY GREAT BELIEF THAT THIS IS A TRUE FACT!

WOW, those are some really LOCKED CAPS!!!!11!

Caps lock is an anagram of slap cock. This amuses me.

And also 'cock pals' which is a little less appealing.
