Was that Murci in Leigton buzzard/Milton Keynes? I remember trying to view that one and the owner really being really short on questions I wanted answered and inspections that I wanted undertaken - prompted red flags in my mind, I went else where after that. Wonder if that car got sold or he still has it?

Yes it was, I just bit the bullet and demanded to see it , but even that took two attempts and it's immobiliser was not functioning so couldn't start it the first time I saw it , then i couldnt drive it as it didnt have a current MOT ,I just though nah too much like hard work and it was a cat c or d can't remember which . That car had major mystery on its mileage as he told me it was a daily driver the it had 30000 miles in the first few years then a new Speedo and I just lost interest after that .

I may know where that car now is. If it is the same one then it's at an indy specialist rotting away in a corner out in the elements un covered. Flat tyres and green moss and grime growing on it as it hasn't been touched and moved in 3+ years. Its a shame to see it that way even if it is a bit of a bent lemon.

Wonder why it’s been left? Will still be worth good money and as you say, it’s a shame to let it rot.

Dunno, probably not worth it yet to get it properly corrected and sorted to make a few bob on it given its history if it is the one from Leighton buzzard. What's the going rate for a cat repaired car with part history and questionable one at that which probably also needs a full paint job to make good - If the car that started this thread was listed at £110k ?
