Am I missing the plot here?

Jezzer 1 · 13th June 2013, 06:26

Why would anyone buy this for £500

You can get an entire car with tasty bits on it for much much less... Is there something I'm missing?

Perhaps they are throwing in the low loader too

Look we all know one of the main issues with the 75 has always been its a little overweight (just like some of us 75 drivers)

So ! stop moaning and buy this super lightweight 75 before its snapped up

Suppose if you were building a 75 from 'new' then this may be your cup of tea. Although I get what you're saying!

At least it will be good on tyre wear and fuel.

Head casket has gone as well

I used to have one like that but the wheels fell off

I can see it's lure to some. Let's just say that all you want is a good clean bodyshell but all you can get is a whole car for 500/600 quid undamaged. How long do you think it will take you to get it down to the bare bodyshell in the hope that there are no nasties hidden when you do???
It's a simple case of what you are after and how much you're willing to pay....

to answer your question, yes you are missing something, the very obvious....

Ciao.
