Just a shame as its £500 a year road tax and your looking at spending maybe a grand to getting where you want it to be...i think he may struggle

Yeah, being in the nippy tax band won't help.

Is it me or does the rear look like its sitting high?

One side does look high Kieran but I think it's parked on a slope and the body is tilted slightly, I looks fine on the flat. As you say though the road tax is going to kill it, I'm lucky with mine being a 2004 car

Not terrible, marinabrian loves fitting rear electric windows to these too

I'd love one! This one is only an hour and a half away and seems good value, tax aside.... Showed it to the wife who said go for it if I want!

Followed it up with 'make sure you have enough left over for the divorce'.

I don't think she meant I could go for it......or maybe she did.....

My road tax bill is already already approaching £1000 a year....

I wish you could pay every day you used the car, same for insurance

Always thought it would be fairer to put it on petrol/diesel.

Be interesting to see what it makes, as with all the work it needs, I would have thought that the starting bid is all it's money!
