Selling up my toys etc so help furnish new house so this will have to go.
its a mk1 1.2 merit. Bad bits first, it needs 2 sills, a small patch in boot, small patch by front turret welded. Mot tester must have been desperate for work because he went mental with the advisories when my friend who is also a qualified tester said that about 30% of it is unjust.
It also needs a door and quarter due to damage although I have sourced a door in the correct colour that will most likely already be fitted.
It is in mostly original condition, dealer plates intact etc. The engine was replaced due to oil starvation and the previous owner painted it all up. Not my cup of tea tbh but whatever, it is probably one of the quietest engine's you will come across and if you doubt me, feel free to come and view it.
I had to fit some new NGK plugs as it was run out of fuel when I picked it up. In the boot there was/is also a new coil pack (fitted), timing belt, aux belt, alternator, fuel filter, ht leads.
There is also a newish k&n panel filter and a full new exhaust. It actually runs really well and drives great for what it is. There is a small fuel leak coming from what appears to be one of the pipes from the tank although I haven't properly checked yet.
I have some old paperwork, 3 keys which all work in every lock. Tyres are all good etc.
Don't really want to give up before I have really had a chance to start but needs must.
Collection from Thame as the car will be in my unit.
400 pounds including the spares and some 60mm springs I have just bought.
