Thanks, I appreciate it.

With a £5000 price tag, I would expect some detail pics of the typical areas that are prone to rust... can you upload them? I can see some that may be creeping through on the n/s turret for example?

Would you put an mot on it?

What you can see in the picture on the n/s turret is just wax oil where I haven't cleaned it before taking the picture.

There are a few minor things that may need attention in the future. After the restoration the car was wax oiled heavily in all of the cavities, so is in very good condition with regards to the bodywork however this was done back in 2004.

There is a very small patch starting to appear on the nearside rear wheel arch, just above the bumper.

I will upload some pictures tomorrow night of this as well as the rest of the arches, battery tray, boot floor and along the bottom of the doors. Is there anywhere else you would regard as a problem area?

I would highly recommend viewing it personally as you will get a better picture of just how clean it is.

[jas2000000]

Yes no problem at all if the price is right.

[jas2000000]

Sorry for the late uploads I have been getting back from work late and didn't get a chance to take the pictures.

The car will now come with an MOT and can be taxed at the cost of whoever buys it if they so wish.

The n/s rear wheel arch is the only bit of rust on the car and as you can see from the pictures is not very bad at all.
