Looks way to good to break. Fix it up and use it or sell it on, I would.

i cant even see what it is with my stupid work computer what am i missing out on seeing ?>

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Looks a little straight to break. Very late facelift effort.

[jimbom30cab]

Get a new mot and a machine polish, maybe also a leather recondition, a service and sell it on during the summer

[shedrool83]

Looks clean .I wouldn't break it if it aint rotten.

First thing you want to do is a dealer spec check on that reg. Not many facelift convertibles on a H........

[rhubarb]

[Rascal]

Well it's defo got a coolant issue, bottle of water in the 2nd pic. If it's parked outside the owners address, it looks like wealthy owners who could've afforded to look after it.

Funny you say that cause as i was going to collect it the address was telling me that it should it be a nic eone ...but he told me he couldn't afford it anymore which i found very strange due to house he came out of from behind the car

[magpie]

[Chris_B86]

Too tidy to break that, polish it up, sort the leak, and sell it coming in to summer, it'll fly out

[bmandy68]

Too good to break mate, clean it up for the summer and try make a few quid for your main project

It's diamond schwarz

[Gavla]

It's diamond schwarz

Standard colour code? It looks more grey, or is that just the light?
Do you do the spraying yourself?

[mcbonio]

Yeah no need to start breaking decent cars. Its looks good, with a bit of TLC she'll be good for the summer to sell on.

The front lower valance - drivers side looks a bit stoved in though, you'll need to knock that back out.

[Rascal]

Yeah think thats the light , it does look dark grey, i dint do it a friend of mine done it, does look nice though, makes it look a different car to when it went in, had to have inner and outer arches as well

[Rascal]

Lol no not the mrs.....and yes on the cabby the valance does have a dent ...also has a

small dent on the wing and boot corner too...will get them all done soon...just had it

cleaned today and drove it about a bit...drives spot on
