Well last night I went over to Martin Wallis' place to take a look at a MK1 1800 he has for sale. Well me and my dad were surprised as it was in far better condition than we thought it would be.
Sure it's scabby and has had filler but it's a solid car. There's one very small hole just starting in one of the jacking points which I can probably get welded up at the local garage.
It was last on the road in February (MoT ran out in March).
The two front seat covers are split but two replacements come with the car
The asking price? £100!
Well my parents have been talking about it and they would be happy for me to get it! So long as I can find storage (something I'm onto at the moment) and Martin's happy to keep it in his garden until September.

Looks like a bargain Josh !!

He's going away for a couple of weeks, hopefully my parents wont reconsider and we'll be £100 poorer

well done Josh looks like a good solid car...lets hope this one is still there when you come back to get it

Haha

Cor blarst Bor! That old 1300 is still hiding in the background (its the one I had cluttering my drive up for a year....)

Personal reggy as well Josh!! JWC........Josh Wards Car...........cooooool. 8)

Yeah it was lucky I didnt buy that 1300.... Bit too much work for me!
Like the idea of that being a personal plate... At least it's not as vulgar as some people's!

about bloody time josh, nice one hope it all works out for you, pretty late model N reg there, 8)

You're right, somehow my parents were convinced by this one
I was kind of hoping for tax exempt but you cant have everything!

Everyone loves a teal blue saloon!

*waits for pink car comments*

What are you suggesting Samantha ?? :?

Well done Josh. I am sure you will have hours of fun getting it ready for it's first MOT. Pleeese remove that horrible tow bar!?!

I plan to get rid of it!
Martin reckons with a new clutch slave cylinder it will get through an MOT fine although I reckon it would need the welding doing too!
