I know where one is, but it's the sickest, rustiest old dog of a Fiesta I've ever seen, and hasn't moved in years, I'd advise against it. You're right to want a tidy one, when you go for a real hopeless case of a car more often than not it's a far harder job than you thought it'd be. I've been there! Cars that were meant to be 'on the road next summer' end up lying there begging to be saved and rusting away for years. We had to scrap my first Imp because there was nowt left of it worth saving!  |

I've seen pictures of ones that look a bit tatty from the outside but once you delve deeper it turns out there only held together with rust and i don't want one like that lol

That does sound like my first Imp!! When we got it home and off the trailer we found that it was only held together by rust, the mud on the bodywork, filler and wishful thinking!  |

I'll keep an eye out for one in my neck of the woods - Northampton to Nottingham isn't that far eh? I guess what you could really do with is one being sold by some old dear that's had it for donkeys years and has really looked after it. I reckon you've chose a good time to buy one though as prices are still quite low, but they're too old for the chavs to have destroyed them! Finding one that isn't an XR2 replica would be good too no? I'll email you if I find anything!  |

Cool ! i really love the look of a bodily stock mk 1 base model, slammed on pepperpots.. a mate had a 950 one with chrome bumpers, and about 30K on the clock, got written off by a metro pulling out in front of it though !  |

Thanks everyone for the replies, i'm a bit weary of buying my first car off eBay, i'd rather have one that I could go and look at first etc, if I was getting one for a restoration project then I wouldn't have any problem with getting one off ebay but I need one that I can go and look at, perhaps take for a test drive, the usual.
