its done a 145000 m and it runs mint and is still a quick car , the engine is very very healthy with excellent compression and run like a dream , the service history is like a novel and its been lovingly looked after and money spent has been no object . the car was a insurance cat c in 2008 , this might be a downer in some cases but not this one ( it would have been a write off if it was a major repair and it hasn't even damage any area around the front lights mounts ) the car has had 2 new front wings , crash bar , bumper and bonnet , and at the looks a full respray at the same time as the paint is mint ( paid extra for the work ) . its got a a full magnex s/s system and the wheels have been refurbished with very good tyres , floor pan and sills excellent . moted until august next year and taxed until end of jan . price 1400 pounds bargain for a lovely clean car .

And you thought your White over gun metal had some history :) this does has buckets.
May have let it go me a bit cheap me thinks :P

[mk1 dal]

hi mate , tbh you did . i was expecting a shed needing loads of work but it turned out to be gem when it was moped and had some tlc . I've have done 600 miles in her and it drives spot on ,she was losing water but i have now found that ( heater pipe under car was leaking ,now sorted ) . i wouldn't be selling if the BMW i have just got hadn't cost so much in parts to put right ( went through the whole car to make perfect , been a bit anal with it but now i now it perfect :D but at a grand later ). it just proves how cheap the ml1 are for the fun per pound you get out of them ,the BM is stupid fast but you pay a price for it as I'm now finding out . you still can't beat a mk1 on a twisty b road and that's why i will always have one .

[jumpman33]

Fancy giving me some money back :P

[mk1 dal]

Fancy giving me some money back :P

:lol: no , you got a good deal with that car mate ,look after it . have you got the mot for the car in your docs i cant find it in my folder I'm wondering if we mixed them up . i do like the car very much but now i have the BM it wont be used at all until next April until the next runs and shows start so it might as well be sold and used by somebody else , if it doesn't sell i will store it and use it next year but it seems a bit of a waste of a good car .

[mk1 dal]

hi , i have decided to keep it and 2 tone the car for next years shows , its now being striped and getting ready for another show winner next year. i will post the project pics as i go along .this car will look awesome when its done .

[Station]

It does look nice, 1,400 is realistically priced, unlike the 3k + ones on ebay!

[mk1 dal]

hi 1400 is the price i could make breaking it for parts , if there in good condition for 3 k its cheap for a mk1 if you don't have to spend money on the body work , you can soon run in to 1000's repairing one . this car will be more money next year when its put back to show condition other wise it might as well be broke in to parts .

[mk1 dal]

a good mk1 broken in to parts ,never and certainly not by me . now painted 2 tone in super edition blue , looks stunning .

[mk1 dal]

hi . this car might be up for sale at the end of the month if i buy another mk1 to do up and save ( looking at one Sunday ) . its in very very good condition it only needs the mirrors repainting and new number plates ( they look a slightly tatty compared to the rest of the car ) but i will sort these out before i sell it and re-under seal the car . im looking for 1700 pounds for her . you can get me on 01298 22249 for more info or pm me .

[mk1 dal]

this car will now have to be sold , new project being picked up next week . i will post more pics next week when it stops snowing , Ive just done 200 miles in it this weekend and it drives spot on . this will only be sold to enthusiast no boy race need apply its had to much work put in to it to fall in to the wrong hands .

gary

[mk1 dal]

now breaking , not worth anything as a whole car sadly and no offers on the car so its going to die . all mint parts including all front end, inertia ,engine , magnex and body panels . pm for parts

[muckyman]

Seems crazy to break a lovely car like that, but if there's no market for the whole car I suppose it's the only alternative.
Where else have you advertised it? I generally change cars every 6 months and always found PistonHeads to be great for selling.
(Having said that, the AW11 may be a keeper)

[mk1 dal]

perhaps iv finally lost it ;)

[Ben]

Yeah, get it on eBay (as a classified ad) and Pistonheads mate - I've sold every car I've had using those two and never taken any longer than a couple of weeks :)

[mk1 dal]

after a week up for parts and nobody wants any mint parts :wtf: :lol: . this car was never going to be broke over my dead body and an experiment to see if any vultures would take the opportunity to kill a perfect good car . im in no rush to sell it and it wont be going on flee bay i want to keep it part of the club for someone to enjoy and show it . it has around 20000 + of receipts with the car and i have spent 100 + getting it ready for this years shows , only being sold to fund the restoration of the blue car which the previous owner sadly died of cancer and his family are going to tatton show in June to see it finished .after saving 23 mk1's of my own from the scrap man this is a good one and will only be sold to a good owner who will look after it .

[snoball]

what you asking for her gary ?????

she looks sooooo sweeeet there in the sunshine :):)

[Johnso]

Are you still looking to sell this, if so then please let me know?
I want to make the move from fan to owner and this looks like an ideal car for me.

[mk1 dal]

hi this cars going for the mot on Monday so it will have 12 months mot , its taxed until the end of october . i will take some pics of the floor pan while its been tested .

[Gilles27]

what you asking for her gary ?????

What he said!

[coverco]

What he said!

Thinking of a change Anthony?

[snoball]

gary's put £1800 notes on it earlier in the thread.........don't know if that's still right though --- absolute bargain if it is :)

[Gilles27]

Thinking of a change Anthony?
I always am! I was interested in yours when you were looking at the Supercharger a while back. It's hard to get the balance right. I know that whatever I have will be used every day and in all weathers. It won't get cleaned enough and it'll be slightly neglected mechanically. Knowing all that I'm probably better sticking with what I've got which is a solid car that is a bit scruffy! But I know it won't last forever and at the moment I can't afford an Elise or a VX220 which are the only cars I would be willing to replace it with. :)

[coverco]

Elises are coming down in price, but if you don't do your own mechanicals they would be hard work.

[mk1 dal]

hi . the car now has 12 months mot . it flew through with no advisories .

[mk1 dal]

hi , i did forget to mention its had 3500 pounds spent on the body work in the last 5 years and all done at Dickerson , its got over 25000 pounds worth of recites . the car is now reversed until Sunday has i promised to the viewer .

[Jawa411]

Why, is only reverse gear working?? haha

But good luck with the sale...it looks great!

[mk1 dal]

now sold and its gone to a very good home , enjoy the car mate and the roads in Scotland :thumbup:
