it's been a while since I found a car under a hedge or laid up in a garage somewhere,

until a few weeks ago when I found this sitting in a car port 10 mins from my house :)

Image


After a quick chat with the owner, it was dragged from it's resting place and will join the rest of my scrap in my stuffed back passage :mad:

I have yet to do a screwdriver test to discover it's fate...

it could be grim :(

It's still early stages as it hasn't had TFR bath yet, which usually doubles the value of a barn find !

Good work fella.

No probably not, well not yet anyway, but I definitely want to grab an s14 incase I do want to go back to standard at any point, S85 was actually my next choice. which will happen when I've saved enough!

it's plastered with ML stickers and reams of ML History Baz the old geezer bought it from them 12 years ago,
I'm fairly sure that's' where it "lost" the 16's :D

I must have had 20 pm's from zoners hoping I had got it cheap so that they could buy it cheap !

the fact is with the internet it's not hard for anyone to find out the value of these cars, including the guy I got it from,
I paid what I think is the going rate for one in this condition, a bit more than what top end sports are listed for on ebay !
