well i finally bought one

[ASL642]

I wasn't expecting rae to join the branch! but it may be worth a phone call to see if there are any local cars for sale!

[rae80inch]

you are all very helpfull what price do you think i should ask for this car thank you ,rae

[ASL642]

Take a look at similar cars on Ebay, this should give you some idea. Then balance this with what you paid for it.
Don't pitch it too high as someone will have to pay to trailer it away.

i think i might keep it on the drive for a week or two its nice to own a minor even if it will not be used i really want one now its getting under my skin

Do you know any of the members in Knighton Classic Car Club, they usually have a display at Knighton Show?

[rae80inch]

yes i know who they are not really a club to help peaple out more off a sunday driveing club i think

To be honest, I am slightly curious as to why you bought this, as I'm making the assumption that you saw before buying, what you subsequently saw when you got it home?

[kennatt]

thats why I asked,how it was listed.runner or not,and was the price fair.If he's selling it on, he obviously dosn't want to say how much he paid,just wondering if he was ripped off via E bay.

private sale ,lost a day ,loads of fuel, [Don't swear or you will be banned - Admin] down with rain kids screaming should have not bought it but never paid a awful lot for it thought i could do something with it i liked the number plate ,rae

[rae80inch]

sorry Chelsea Supporter very wet i should say rae

[les]

Next time, wait for a dry day, leave the kids at home and don't look at the number plate! On a more serious note,I don't know how you're fixed for space and equipment etc but do you think if you tackled it methodically you might be able to make something of it, I presume you wanted something to restore, granted perhaps not as bad, so maybe after the initial shock it could be worth thinking about. Sometimes a car with less rust in a panel still might need another panel fitted in which case the said panel might as well be full of rust.
