Very low miles and could be a bargain if you know what you are doing...

Such a shame to see that, unusual colour dont think ive seen one like that before, personally i would not attempt that, looks like its gone up and over somthing, removed radiator from mine tonight and there is a cross member straight across the front subframe that holds the rad up in position, u hit that its game over, solid piece it is, will push the nose of the car up, have a look where the wing meets the window fram forward of the drivers wing mirror and how its kinked, bit more than T-cut needed for that.
Saying that will probably be on ebay next week T&T

This ones a none starter for me guys. I have registered with copart, got a buyer I.D. & password.
But...........you have to go to one of their facillities and show :- passport/driving licence......2 uttility bill & pay 40 quid registation fee.
I was ready to drive down to the nearest to me , which is bedford, when I phoned them & told them I was doing this They told me that was fine & in 2-3 days I would be able to bid.
The auction on this 3200 is tomorrow at 12.00.
Just saved 50 quid in fuel. I'll do it next time I'm passing
I'm sure another one will be along.

no I would take the risk on this one. The damage to the front does'nt look like there would be much if any transfered to the chassis, but even at that I would have it checked. once the accident damage is repaired I would then look at what is needed from wear & tear/service & maintanance ect.
It wont be a quick fix but it would be a viable project & at the end of the day I would have a runabout.
the spyder is def. going into storage with occasional use.
loz is also on vacation & I dont think I would ask anyone to front something like this, typical situation being , he makes the bid, he wins the bid ,I get hit by a bus, ros tells him " who the **** are you ?"
there will be another.

the scene at my funeral frank, and you are more than welcome to attend, is this.
Mourner's, people coming to pay last respects , those coming to gloat and those coming just to make sure its true will be met at the door of my house by ros, taken into the garden, given a shovel and these instructions.
dig the hole over there where I dont have to look at it, make sure its deep & if you brung a bottle put it in the kitchen. Oh , and wipe your feet when you come back in !!
This I know is true.
True love runs deep................but not 6 foot deep

You would think they would want as many bidders as possible in stead of putting things in the way of people who want to bid.

I guess thats to make sure the chancers & dreamers who win bids actualy pay up.
I put a 3.0ltr capri into an action. some one bid & won ,left a deposit and dissapeared of the face of the earth.
