Description
**spares or repairs** due to lack of time to sort.
The car **runs and drives**, but it has issues that need attention. It’s leaky oil—more than just a minor leak—and has **electrical issues**, with things working when they feel like it rather than when you want them to. The lights in particular can be temperamental.
Because of this, it’s being sold strictly as a **project/spares or repairs**.
Bodywork and interior are in used condition with age-related wear as expected. Plenty of potential there for someone handy with tools or looking for a project.
When these are sorted and in good working order they’re worth around **£5,000–£6,000**, so there’s value there for the right buyer.
**I would highly recommend bringing a trailer or recovery truck to collect it. It is not advisable to drive away due to the oil leak and electrical faults.**
Ideal project, donor car, or for someone who enjoys a challenge.
**No warranty implied. Viewings welcome.**
