Sadly I have to trim down my mk1 ownership to just 1 as I am buying a flat.
Im sure lots of you know of or have seen the car:

The car will not come with the alloys in the photo, but will have standard teardop alloys instead.
Good Points:
Tax and MOT til the end of MAY
Mechanically it starts on the button and runs very well.
Apex Spings and KYB shocks.
New front end, with a brand new toyota drivers wing and very good s/h passenger wing all sprayed with lots of hammerite.
Magnecor HT Leads
K+N Filter
Cobra Monaco seat.
Willans harness.
Bad points:
It is a nail.
To stop rust around the windscreen I have cut it out, treated the bare metal and filled it with mastic.
The rear arches are now made in part from expanding foam. Again I have cut out the rust, treated it and reformed the arch using foam.
Under my ownership it has had brand new brake discs and several sets of pads (obviously!), all new ignition components, oil and filter changed every 3000 miles, new timing belt, new clutch.
I have both cared for and thrashed this car, but I haven't done a trackday in almost a year, so it seems a waste for me to keep it when someone else could be having fun.
This is not a car you should buy to love, you should view it as £500 worth of diposable fun. Buy it, bin it into some barrier at the a track and not worry about it!
First with close to £500 cash takes it.
Car is near croydon, south london.
