A 420 for under 3 grand?
and its local to me I just need to rob a bank/ sell the wife and its mine.

Seriously though I have a space it would fit nicely in, Its exactly what I want just too soon, need to sell the Mondeo I dont need first
And I dont think the owner would be interested in a swap as he is moving house.

It's been for sale for a while I think but sounds a keen price but I suppose it depends how much 're-commissioning' it needs.

I thought about this car, just to keep my hand in if my 400 goes.;-)

Just tell him that the name "Mondeo" derives from the Latin word mundus, meaning "world" and he will get masses of stuff in there, Much more than in a wedge...

I was just browsing through the classified and also saw this.

Im looking for something interesting and relatively cheap, Ive been thinking Lotus 7 kit but this certainly looks interesting.
I dont know a great deal about TVRs, Ive driven a couple of Chims but wouldnt really know what I was looking at. Probably open a large can of worms but any pointers?

I agree, and "if it sounds too good to be ture it normally is" but who knows, should still make a nice car when recommissioned?

My current wedge (bought off ebay!) had been laid up for 13 years, and had bills for £10k in the boot from the last 20 years, but still had plenty of issues, was well worth the time/effort/money we have spent to get it where it is now.

Assume the worst and hope your pleasently suprised?

Sorry not made it back after my OP
I`m not in a realistic position to buy it anyway and if I am honest I dont want another project to sit in the garage I want something that is usable that I can maybe do some light fettling to not a full on resto.

I think I know this one,supplied some parts for it about four years ago,the owner was uprating brakes,and some seals,hood,door,tired interior but ran well,engine felt strong.
