Went down to Herts last week to have a butchers a 'clean' white Spin that was advertised on Pistonheads by a dealer...

1 owner, lady doctor (wtf - get a Merc like teh rest of 'em lol) and kept in a garage (sure it was!)

70k and FSH, I couldnt help myself - had to go have a looksy. I was promised by the dealer that I wouldnt find better - hmmm OK....

I know that the cleanest shells of late have been mk1s and it seems that the later models are all rotten, which did put me off, but I went for it and drove with Kris (Corsakid) 140 miles....

Here is what we found...

Seems clean! not allowed to say its mint, cos there is a 5p piece bubble on the bottom of the arch where it meets the sill....:roll:

Looked at a few recently, but this one was the only one not to have a sunroof;)

not 100% sure what the plans are yet, but I have a few brewing.

I have also noticed that it has some weird protective stone chip type stuff on the boot lip and bottom of doors and bottom of arches - it looks like rust in the pics! lol ever seen this before....?

Who said anything about a track car!lol

At the mo, its on the drive braving the elements! I need to find a garage or may just get a decent car cover.

No idea what to do with it yet...:)

Paid less than its worth! lol

Really hard to value something like this anyway tbh...

Dont mind the colour, cant be too fussy in this condition!lol

may be the cleanest mark 2, but I am sure there are still some stowed away in garages all over!
