Hi,
If you click the photo above it should take you to my Flickr, album and there's more in there.
Loads of history with it. mechanically spot on. Paint work is not prefect but nice. Sills, belts etc done..

Hi Alex,

I'd also be interested in some more details about the car e.g. number of owners, more details about work done/when, what isn't working.

Any more pictures of the seats and engine bay would also be really good.

I am only about an hour away from Llanidloes so could potentially arrange to come up and have a look.

Many thanks

Will

Hi again,
I've put a few more pictures on the flickr page for you. The best way to describe this one is to explain my priorities. I looked at loads before I bought this one. I have replaced and mended a long long list of things to make this a reliable and useable car. Sills and belts were first, then wiring loom, every electrical connector I could get to etc. Got everything working sunroof, lights, windows etc.
Mechanically its really good . Its sill a 28 year old car though. A few scratches and knocks. none that detract from it too much but it is 28 yr old.
Dash is good (i've made a cover to keep it that way.) It has loads of history in a big folder.
Bad bits that need doing
crack in front spoiler (not big)
Glove box needs a hinge
passenger door needs a stop strap
Split in the driver bolster which I will fix before it goes to the auction. Cluth is good, Gears all good (only 944 shifter fitted)
153k miles but needs new cog in odometer but I havent done 5 k since then..
Starts on the key everytime. Never lets me down. New fpr, new boot seal, latches, window switches, gear boot, shifter list goes on...
Engine is good , sounds great. If you want a photo of the engine bay this probably isn't the car for you because it's not a garage queen, I have concentrated on practical stuff (I'd rather renew HT leads than get something shiny) and certainly don't polish the engine bay!

oh and mot'd till end of sep 16 no advisories on last one :)

Sorry haven't been on here to post. Car is still for sale, details below:
alex


I'm sad to see this go and the way it's going, a sorted one like this is going to be out of my reach in a year or two. A bit of tlc and this one will be a really good investment..
The car is in the auction showroom already so you can view it. You can also bid online through the brightwells auction site, so no excuse to miss a bargain!
