No doubt it will be bought for its engine judging by that description!

only if it goes for £20 ish

Have spoken to the current owner and he says its suffering from a leaky fuel hose from the fuel tank, however i suspect that it is infact leaking from the secondary fuel filter which is a nice easy bypass job. I have eveything i need to fix it (i hope) and if the seller is happy i might pop in saturday morning and get the bugger running (regardless of the winner!)


I do intend to run it if i can manage to get a decent job over the summer. I might very well get it on limited insurance and race the bugger!

spares? Other than the engine it doesnt have any spares you couldnt get off any other car!


If i do win the bidding i have a number of drivers lined up to drive it to the FCS then we can see how much power 99p can buy!



Though i will honestly tell you i wont be bidding more than £40, exams mean no job mean no cash to spend!

Strangely enough, Ormskirk is also very close to the current high bidder. Looks like he could have become an ebay member just to buy this car.

Maybe
