You didn't mention that it's a Cat C for the last year that's been fixed and still not reregistered or mot'ed. (As advertised)
Doing all the work but can't be bothered to register/MOT her mean's more needs to done IMO. As it don't take much to have a MOT done in the UK.

Looking at the interior looks as if it's been sitting for a while, and not warmed the cabin as there seems to be mold on the rear seat belts.
Guess thats why it's going for a song!!

Check for rust under the fuse box in the engine bay and also in the same place on the other side.
I have seen several FTO's english reg for sale recently with major rust there. And also on the rear where the suspension arms attach to the car

[d_dan]

I don't know is it worth it for the extra 20 ponies?

[mcgon1979]

the passenger side headlight connection is broken form the headlight. This can often happen in a collision so make sure its straight at the front.
Did you say how much it was going for?

[johnny]

Would have to be very cheap for me to buy it.....doesnt look too good.

[Gerry]

There looks to be too bolts missing where the bumper bracket sits to the panel which is above the rad. Along with the passenger side headlight bracket being broken, this is a sign of a collosion. looks like a quick repair was done.

[d_dan]

iv given up on this one! its just not worth all the effort!


have my eyes on somethign a little closer to home!

[steelroe]

Wouldnt be the red GR with dodgy alternator by any chance!

[d_dan]
