I saw this yesterday:

At least it wouldn't need an IVA?

I'd be wanting to pay significantly less than £5k for that, I have got to ask why it was parked up for so long.
I had a really good look at it. It really has just been left to seed. It's criminal.
I'd gone to view a good running similar car, but this was very tempting.
The last thing I want now is another project, so I managed to talk myself out of it.
It looks like it needs mostly time. Some money of course, but not a massive amount.

I'm used to Stratos reps. which need engineering as you go along, and cost three times as something like this before you even start.

You would not want to have to spend too much on this, I saw a very nice one in regular use for sale at just under £7k.
I've found that only the £13k to £14k ultra low miles cars need nothing refurbing to make them presentable.
I just thought that if you're looking at taking a car apart, rather than running an average price car 'as is', then this would be the cheapest way to start?

It's on SELOC too, but it looks like there may be some interest already.

And now on ebay:

I'll be interested to see how it does, compared to high mileage running cars?
