Bargain for somebody?

[Parrot of Doom]

Actually it seems slightly expensive to me but I just thought I'd bring this to the attention of anyone interested:

Got to be one of the best ever. 'Bargain for somebody' followed swiftly by 'seems expensive'
Quality, pure quality

I like the "damage to sill" while forgetting to mention the F***ing great split in the rear nearside wing!

Yep thats a 4k breaker

You've got to love salvage yards, they always say the damage is on one side and then take every photo from the other.
Like has been said, from the 2 bad photos of the side anyone is going to interested in it looks a little more than a bit of T-Cut needed to the lower sill, the drivers seat doesn't look quite right....

The poor thing..its heartbreaking to see it end up there

Not only that, but if you look at the roof line from the front, the targa part of the roof has just been rested on and not fitted properly after the bump. So the interior is P$ss wet through just for good measure.
Bl**dy brilliant.

It's on ebay too - £5000 start with no reserve.

Mentions 'offside' rear quarter damage and shows a more revealing picture. Still nothing about the nearside rear wing!

Anyeone know the story behind that Chim? Not that im tempted in buying it :/

I'd be more concerned with the location of the offside rear compared to the arch. With just bodywork to put right, it's marginal at £4-5k, but with suspension or chassis damage, it'll only be viable for a very skilled DIYer. Sad thing is that it'll be worth more in bits.

Its quite blatently got a bent chassis, none of the doors shut and look where the back wheels are in relation to the arches!

Ah, I thought it was my eyes.... The whole side looks rather bent out of shape to me.....

£6k for that? And No Service History to boot...

[raceboy]

Looks like it's being sold in bits now.......

Shame really...I'd rather someone with a rather large income splashed out on it and brought it back to it's former glory

[Barkychoc]

Someone's bid on ebay for it
