I bought this car from the original owner, she had garaged it every night and generally taken good care of it. She said her nephew had serviced it each year then taken it for its MOT. No service book, but there is a bit of paperwork with the car.

Metallic brown paint mostly in reasonable condition. Bodywork has a couple of scratches that have been filled with touch up paint.

Being an old Nova there is some rust, this is limited to the bottom of the doors; around the fuel filler cap; couple of patches on the valance and on one rear wheel arch. One advisory on the MOT for corrosion on the sill.

I will add some photos of the crusty bits over the next couple of days.

Everything seems to work as it should bar the radio cassette player which is not plugged in, I plugged the power in and the unit powered up OK but could not find the speaker wires in the dash so left it unplugged.

I have had the car for about 10 weeks and have carried out the following
Oil and filter change
Spark plugs changed
New Ht leads
New distributor cap
Checked over the front brakes. Pads and discs have loads of life left in them
Tyres checked and all have plenty of tread.

I have put about 1200 miles on this car in the last month and it has run very well, happy enough to cruise at 70 on the motorway and gets just over 40 mpg on my commute.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

The price is clearly in the title. I had to remove the £ sign as that breaks the forum for some reason but you know that so give the guy a break

Gutted Steve. I'm in talks with the chief as you know I'd love a brown loon to go with my brown hatch
