That is in good nick but not £2500 type nick. The wiring in the engine bay would give me some concern and there are obvious electrical and trim mods on the dash. The engine bay shows the true condition of the car - not the shiny exterior.

Yep I agree, those wires are a fire waiting to happen. I think that would be a no 1 priority to get that sorted , they are exposed to a lot of very hot parts - bit of a mess :cry: !

He's cable tied wires on to the back of the radiator without any sleeving on them :? It is a nice tidy looking motor overall though, however our mild winter may have scuppered his pricing of it, last year would probably have sold it in an instant, damn this global warming

Still has those horrible plastic wheel arches on too. I bet there is shed loads of rust waiting to be discovered under them!

I was thinking of flying over to take a look at this one until, gladly, I saw this thread. Anyone been to look at it yet and have an opinion?

Interestingly, I live in Sweden, but hail from N.Ireland...we seem to dominate this thread a little ;)

Bout ye.

I see he's dropped it to £3000. A bit of haggling should get that below £2500.

Are you looking for a left hooker?

Yep, I left N.I. 10 years ago and Sweden is now my home as of the last 2 years, so a LHD is a must really. I think I'd like to know more about it and find it interesting that he has removed the pictures of the engine bay. I wouldn't want to waste a weekend and money on flights to get a scrapper :)
