the new one,

[Curtoise]

right as some of you may know i have been spying on a mint mk1 merit with low miliage 60k, well the time came, i had a buyer for mine, and now i have bought it :D

its a 1.0 merit with the pushrod engine lol, and omfg its slow,

arches are very clean as are doors, and bay and boot ect,
only surprise was a big hole under the fuel filler cap :( which i didnt know untill after i bought it, still not bad for £400 !


my plans so far are to rat look it, with a matt black bonnet and nitromorsed doors :D
