Such a lovely looking car, hope someone snaps it up and sorts that little list of failures.

One thing I have noticed... a gorgeous looking car such as this one really shouldn't be pulling that ugly trailer...

Cheers Ronnie, a lot of work there! Especially the rusty sills.. not for me I’m afraid it would take a lot of time to put right.

Good luck to anyone bidding

If I didn’t have my gold diesel and debs blue one to sort then I would have had a bid, sadly it would only sit on the ‘to do’ list at the moment.

Pity really as a duo tone is the only variant I haven’t owned!

It certainly is a shame about the rusty sills Andy, is a lovely looking car.

I've seen a few 02 and 03 plate 75's with rusty sills, is it a certain year onwards these cars were effected, or is it just down to normal ageing conditions etc?
