I have a 2000 4ltr Tuscan with only about 29K miles on it. I am only the 2nd owner and have had it for the past 13 years. I haven't used it since the clutch went 7 years ago. Its now looking pretty poorly and I'm not sure what to do with it ? should I spend the money on respray , engine rebuild & clutch or break it ?which seems very cruel ?
Advice please ?

Jason

Only 1 previous owner, I brought it 13 years ago in 2002. Its a 2000 4 litre car. Parisian Blue with dark blue leather. 18" spiders clear indicators. Everything else untouched.

Think i'd be better off throwing a few grand on it to get it back on the road and crashing it into a ditch. The cheapest one on Autotrader is £19K

Engine runs fine could do with a tune and service, its really just clutch , paint and a bit of tlc. i'm thinking now just get it back on the road with a £2K clutch and do running repairs. If it was mint it would be one to have. Low miles and only 1 previous owner.

Thanks for all of your input and advice people, I think I'm gonna get the clutch done put an MOT on it and get it down to Elmwood for them to pick over it and make a list of jobs to do. I'll have to do it a bit at a time coz its forking out the £10K at once thats been putting me off all this time.
