Hey guys,
I've found a moggy for sale not far from where I live. Car is actually located in Barry, South Wales. I've been and had a look over the car, needs some work done on the front passenger door and the car could do with a respray. Other than that the car seems pretty solid to me but I'm far from being an expert on the matter 
.
I was wondering if anyone lived local and would mind taking a look at it for me and give me their opinion.
Thanks in advance
Matthew

I'm in Llantwit Major, about 5 miles away. Glad to help. Have built more than a dozen cars (plus some aircraft and aircraft engines), so, I guess I have the qualifications.

I get home on tuesday just after lunch to Cardiff airport. You could meet me there if you wanted. You'd need to phone me tonight before too late since I'll be getting to work about 4AM in the morning.

Rob,
Obviously I don't want to let the car slip through my hands but because of other things that are going on I want be available to go have a look at it again until Wednesday.
Any chance you can have a look at it then with me?
Thanks for the offer. Much appreciated.

Day off on Weds. I'll be catatonic by late evening so you'd need to call me before about 7pm. Early Weds would be best.

Matthew.
I think I may have lost my trolley jack handle in the boot of the Fiat. Any chance of having a look for me? Thanks.
Rob
PS If you are still looking, I might have found a car for you!

Rob,
Will ask my brother to have a look as soon as he can.
I took the plunge and bought the one you came and had a look at with me.
Dare I ask what condition the you one you seen was in? Was it better than the one I've bought? Where to is it?
Let you know when I hear anything from my brother.

Lots better and it is currently located in my garage.
) The wife has finally agreed to allow me to buy an MGTC!
Did you get a good discount for the lack of MOT?
You could bring it over here to Llantwit sometime and we could have a look in detail.
Cheers.

If only your wife had agreed a week or so earlier
. Never mind I'm happy with the one I got even if the guy would not budge on the price.
I just wanted a car with as little work needed doing to it as possible and the one I bought was the best example out of quite a few I've been to look at.
Yeh to bringing it for you to see sometime
. Compare and contrast
.
No news from my brother yet will let you know soon as poss.
