Bad Points
Front and rear valances have rust. The rear is the worst.
There is a rust hole below the nearside rear crescent vent, currently covered with tape.
Headlining has a rip over the rear window.
Gear linkage is sloppy.
Passenger door window regulator is broken, I have a spare and will try and replace before the car is collected. My 6 year old found wind up windows a novelty and wore it out.
Heater was disconnected years ago, so wrap up warm when you collect it.
Engine smokes on a cold start up, and a little under hard acceleration. There is also some end float. However it pulls strong and cruises nicely at 60mph.
The body has various dings and dents, small repairs, paint touch ups etc but considering its age it shines up well.
Passenger and rear seat ripped with age.
PLEASE NOTE – The tailpipes in the photographs will not be included, nor my sons rear seatbelt. Tailpipes will
Be swapped for standard pea shooters.
