1998 2.5TD Estate for sale

Hi guys,
Dreading having to do this but my 1998 scorpio ghia estate (manual) may have to go.
As some of you may know, over the last 8-9 months,
I've spent best part of £1500 getting this car to run correctly & then get through it's MOT.
However I'm moving house in a week or so's time & money is now very tight for the next few weeks until I get settled in.
Therefore, it looks like I may have to sell the car to fund my living expenses for the next few weeks.
Not 100% sure what the car is worth, but looking for around the £800 mark.
It's not the greatest looking of cars, few scratches/dents & a little rust along the bottom of the tailgate but drives ok & still performs well.
205K on the clock now, but as I say there has been quite a bit of work done, including new injectors (not recons)
& s/h injector pump. Rear discs/pads were fitted 6 months ago, quite a bit of front suspension work was done for MOT,
rear dampers were also changed. (s/h)
Fusebox had some work done to it, as well as various brake pipes & other work.
Uprated speakers fitted (£200) along with a JVC head unit.
11 months MOT & 5 months tax included.
If there's any interest please feel free to ask any questions
& I can get some pics sorted if there's genuine interest.
Doing around 55miles a day to work, I'm currently getting around 36-38mpg from it (420-450miles per tank)
Based in Dudley, but car can be viewed in Redditch during the day.

If the tailgate is the worst problem,I have a good one here if your buyer would care to collect it.Colour is Tourmallard,but well worth painting if yours isn't.

Typical. !!! Im after a diesel, but unfortunatly have empty pockets ( and bank account ) at the moment  . Are you going to the Sandwell show rob ? ( I think there is a spare ticket going ). Just thought it would be a good idea to park up with the rest of us with a 'for Sale' sign in the window. With thousands of visitors expected it's bound to create some intrest

Definitely for sale now, unfortunately.
Open to sensible offers, looking for around £750 though.
EDIT - Now on E-bay. £700

Sad sad day, I waved goodbye to the old barge today.
Guy from Rochdale came down this morning & picked it up.
Now carless for a while, but will get another Scorpio at some point, probably a Cossie this time,
as I'm only going to be using it occasionally now as I now live 5 mins from work.
