Hi all!
Ok, well i went to have a look at one in Northampton yesturday:
- 1981 vin 3659, 31k miles, and its black, painted.
- body is good, no dents
- chassis looks good appart fom some sort of plate on the bottom of the chassis between the front wheels which has rusted through, is this structural?
- not been on the road since 1996, dry stored indoors
- dont know if it'll start, not run since 1996.
- the paint is in a bad way, someone has tried to strip it off one of the doors, badly.
- everything is there as far as im aware, but will need new brakes, and a partial retrim, new tyres etc.
so what im wondering is if the asking price is reasonable for one in this state? He's asking £7500, but i think this is a bit steep...
Also - i dont like the paint, and its a mess, can it be stripped?
looking forwards to hearing from y'all
(PS - im used to fiddling and very used to random fault finding on rare cars, i currently run a tvr chimaera)
