Poor car (assuming it's the same one).

Looks like it’s had a hard life since it was moved on. That seat needs killing with fire.
Grim isn’t it. A real shame as it looked immaculate when the OP had it.Definitely the same car, instrument cluster change matches with the fuel & temp gauges being the originals as does the rear plate plinth having Dovercourt dealership name on it.

KOX is the car. I expected it to have reached ~180k without too much maintenance, but the problem list is quite something!
I wonder if it had a knock at some point? The front valence is missing and there is sill damage on one side. One hub has been replaced with the wrong type. The wheel catching in the arch will be either the incorrect hub, a bent subframe, or even the shell. I bet it was fun to drive
It's tempting to buy it back, I must admit, but I'd be faced with doing absolutely everything again, and I just couldn't muster the enthusiasm.
It'll make a good project for someone. It's cheap enough.

Bloody hell, that's a shame to see! Really well thought out car and a very desirable spec list, looks a right shed now!
I'd be heartbroken if I was OP
The £2.4k that was being asked for it a few pages ago seemed like an absolute bargain, I was semi hoping it hadn't sold and would become available in a few months!
OP, that car was a real credit to you. My kinda thread!

Thanks very much It sold on Facebook - I know because despite saying otherwise I made an offer There's still a bit of life left in it yet so hopefully it is repaired and not broken for spares.
I was very, very close to making an offer. If it wasn't so far away. I have a good spare PD130 engine sat in the garage, as well as a full TT front subframe and associated gubbins. It was just too far away (and I have too many projects ongoing). Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
