Your opinion

Just been to a friend who is selling this splitty 1956 4 door mog for 500 Euro, tempted to buy it. Chassis seems quite solid, some unoriginal parts like steering indicators, glove compartments, wheels..What's your opinion?

I'd buy it for spares at that price ! well if it was local.

Got be worth it for the parts alone, and might be restorable?

Items like indicators and door mirros make the car more user friendly - if it's not a concours car then I'd prefer to have them. Some people can make snotty about upgrades, but fortunately they are in the minority - most people are very happy to see a SII getting used.

500 Euro?

Whats that all about? Some kind of mickey-mouse currency?

I'd buy it and restore it!! seen worse cars being restored! It looks like a car I've seen some years ago in St.Venera Mark. You should have used dual pricing MArk or I would have to report u to the NECC

Dunketh, that's our new currency , no more Maltese Lira in a month

I really cannot make up my mind to dismantle this cutie for spares

:

Chassis is still ok and doors 90% solid,

I wish I had more lives to rescue this one as well!

If it were mine, it looks ready for the MOT test if everything works...
Good luck with it

I agree, its far too good to break! The only think I would bin are those horrible wheel trims.

Post by **bmcecosse** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 2:35 pm

And the door mirror.

Post by **FrankM83** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:24 pm

and that bumper! but hey if I had were to put it I'd buy it off your hands Mark!

The wheel trim are mini clubman ones... if you catch ebay on a good day they are worth something
