Lawrie,

I've sent you a personal message with my contact details if you'd like me to take a look.

Regards,

Louise

Think it's an error Kevin - Lawrie sent me a pm.

As an update, I'm going to have a look at this car over the weekend so will be able to provide a general idea on condition and hopefully some photos.

Been to see the car today and think it's too good to scrap. One owner from new, mileage shows 68,699 and it has been in a dry garage since 2000. It has a nice registration reading 'Frog' (and it is green)

Floor / sills: These seem solid. Lifted carpets and prodded with a screwdriver. Some surface rust underneath but couldn't see any holes or major rot.

Interior - Very good. Needs a clean but no rips or tears to seats or headlining.

Wings - Dent on o/s front wing and scrape on n/s front wing but both are sound with no rust on edge or round the headlights. Rear o/s wing has dents but is sound. Rear n/s wing will need replacing. No rust where the wings meet the body and the quarter panels are sound.

Doors - O/S door has slight rusting to bottom and needs a new quarterlight window. N/S door is very good with no rot.

Boot - Minor rusting to bottom edge. No rot to boot floor area.

General - Chrome has some pitting but will be shiney with a good clean. Rubbers are good all round. Original toolkit, jack, good overrider and period picnic rug in boot.

It would be nice if someone could get this back on the road. Part of a deceased estate. Lawrie is open to offers - please contact him by pm if interested.

A Minor for restoration, of any type is worth 150 puonds max. No more.

maybe to you (I try and pay less), however my comment was based on dozens of cars sold on ebay recently, including a pick up needing work with no MOT that sold for £2600.

Well done to Louise for the pics - it's very hard to put a 'value' on this one as it's well worth having but without a good clean and polish and MOT it may not attract good offers.
