alreet mike, wat u wnt for her dude??

in the region of ?1800 or there abouts.

Please note, this car IS on the HPi register as a stolen & recovered vehicle. It was purchased from a Salvage autcion back in January 2005 (http://www.motorjunction.com/easysalvage/) (http://www.easysalvage.co.uk)), the ONLY damage was to the ignition barrel, and drivers door lock. It was purchased by my mates father, who then repaired, and used it as a daily runner until his son (a good freind of mine) passed his test. He then had it for around 6months, until the pushrod engine died, he sold it another freind of mine, who removed the engine, then it sat on his drive for around 8months until i bought the shell last summer.

Somewhere i do still have the original reciept of sale from Wollaston Vauxhall in Stourbridge, it also still has the original factory number plates with the dealer name on. Below is the original handbook, with dates of its services, who serviced it, the guy who sold it, the women who bought it etc etc
