Hello, got this Carina as an MOT failure.
Needs exhaust system and rear suspension sorting out and an oil leak that needs sorting.
Will post some pictures hopefully tomorrow.
It's generally tidy rust wise as it's been kept in garage since it was new.
Has nice things like dealer plates and service history.

Alright Ovimor didn't get a chance today.
Will try and get some tomorrow, it still needs a wash first.

Will do mate, good clean up and take it over the carpark to take a few pictures. Also can't move it until the MOT. Will get some on the driveway after a good wash. Just to add, it's an F plate. |

What the.....this one has done 70k odd miles. Going to remove the headlight protectors as they are very rough condition now. Then generally give it a good clean up, paint the wheels, get it through MOT and then run it for a while. |

Thanks Ovimor. We have known the person we bought it from for a very long time. It's all original not bodged or welded. Fogs look pretty cool I think. Yes will get the MOT sorted and enjoy it, not going to be modifying this one as I think standard is the way to go with it What's the bit about clean MOT pass history you mentioned? |

The car is 60 miles away and sourcing an exhaust.
There is no way it has a cat is there?

Ovimor, thanks, that's the exact exhaust I was looking at.
Then thought an F plate car wouldn't have a Cat fitted.
Will wait till home and jack the car up and have a look.
