purchased this the other day , it needs some work as they all do but upon my first inspection it looks to be salvagable, only a 1300L though so not to exciting .

You are a brave man Jason.

Looks much better after the wash though.

Good luck whatever your plans with it are.

Nice find Jason. I nearly bought one of those in brown for my first car but it was to rotten. Ended up with a mini instead which ended up being even worse :rofl:

cheers guys , i bought as a future project rather than an immediate one as the price of some of the classics we like and love are only going upwards.

This will just be returned to its former glory at some point in the future ,not concours just a useable retro car.With no road tax:seeya:
