This one on ebay (in the Vehicle Parts section) looks more solid than the one I started out with in 1997 - could make a good car?  (Don't know the seller - usual disclaimers.)

   


There's even a 'Best Offer' option. 

(Remember that pictures flatter cars like this. I don't have the space or I might have enjoyed having a go at putting it back on the road.)

That looks like and excellent buy and very original, let’s hope the reg plate robbers don’t get to it first!

I’ve been seriously looking at this one. But I’m too far away to visit before uping my offer. Anyone local willing to view and access ease and reality of getting her road worthy? Not too worried about the engine. More the drive train. And that the body is straight enough.

Thanks Stephen, just a tad too far from me to view it on your behalf.. It doesnt look too bad. Hopefully it will retain its original number, which looks like 3 alpha 2 numeric(?). A real temptation for the reg strippers crew...
