Now the bad bits, back in 2019 the car was in a minor accident, crumpling the front passenger wing (final picture), nothing structural. Due to the age of the car the insurers wrote the car off, I put a new wing and got it back on the road.
As you know these cars suffer with rust so the car recently failed it's MOT as the sills need welding. The arches could do with being replaced (the one I did isn't too bad) and alloys refurbished as a project to bring the car back to its former glory.
These cars are very rare and don't come up for sale very often and worth keeping on the road. Private 55 plate not included.
The car is currently SORN and located in Brighton, East Sussex, UK.
