Faults

The car drives well, engine starts first time and idles as it should, no nasty knocks or rattles and no smoke. Gearbox is tight and smooth. However there are one or two other niggles , I'm just being as honest as possible about the condition of the car, its by no means immaculate and could ideally do with a loving new owner to bring it back to its former glory.

- Oil gauges function randomly, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. suspected wiring fault
- Rear arches are solid but showing signs of some scabbing, but please bear in mind the car over 20 years old now and on original paint
- Car park dings, there are a few around the car, none have broken the paint however
- There is a tear in the fabric of the drivers seat bolster, again usual on older cars of this type/spec
- The clocks read 220k miles, they are broken and notch up randomly, so don't represent the mileage of the car which is just around 100k, backed up by MOT's
- The red paint has suffered from exposure to the sun and could do with a buff, its gone dull with age
- filler has cracked on the leading edge of the bonnet, not that noticeable
- front bumper was ripped off by previous owner, so is zip tied on due to broken plastics on the bumper itself. its solid and won't be coming off however.
- no front fogs

As described above, the car drives well and is mechanically solid, but its not by any means immaculate so don't expect a minter.

taking all the above into consideration I'm asking for £650 ONO for the car, and if it gets the asking I will tax it for six months as well. Which i think is a fair deal for a drive away with 12 months ticket and 6 months tax on it :-)
