Too dumb to work out how to post pics (or links for that matter) so please have a look at:

I've got to face the fact that I'm not going to manage to sort it out with so many other projects on the go (mainly a goddam Dodge which is going to kill me)
The problems. The exhaust has snapped and needs replacing, but the cause of it is a bad judder that I think is due to clutch plate contamination. So it might need a clutch. The brakes are likely to be sticking cause it's been sitting a while. And one of the front wheel bolts has snapped off, so there's only three holding it on. Also, the gear change is terrible. I did toy with just dropping a 100A engine and four-speed into it (it started life as a 100A) but then found out you can fit the 1500cc Vanette lump and that others had managed to sort out the gear change for the five-speed. So there's lots of potential if you're more decisive than me! There's no MoT and it's SORN declared.
All the tyres are good, the paint is all good apart from a dent on the drivers front wing which isn't really noticeable, and the trailing edge of the bonnet is starting to pickle up (Good excuse to paint it matt black). It handles far better than the Coupe did with the wider tyres and estate rear suspension. The interior is really good as is the underneath.
I'm reluctant to ebay it cause I really want it to go to a good home.
The car's located in Peterborough and will obviously need to be towed since there's no exhaust on it. I've moved to London (which is the other reason I'm selling) so please don't arrange to see and not turn up like so many people seem to when you sell a car
I'm looking for £250 ono for it, which despite all the faults is pretty darn cheap for such a nice super rare car.
By the way, the paint always looks gold in pictures but is actually green in most light. Please email me with any more questions or call me on 07763 882125
Cheers for looking,
Paul
