Do power and economy go together?

That’s for changing the wheels, exhaust & fixing the arches  – couldn’t run to a battery cover.

Someone is trying to make a quid! Those wheel-arches won't last long I bet! Much too pricey.

The original seller probably said "Sort out those few problems mate and it'll be worth about 3 grand........"

Gozz, I got a reply form him If you think that's there is any kind of profit please be my guest and add up the following money spent on restoration: Rear wings and paint £500 ; Wheels and tyres £500 ; Overdrive speed control unit £250 ; Stainless Steel exhaust system £400 ; Full service £400 ; New Battery £110 ; Brakes discs £100 ; Electrical system repairs £200 ; Autoglym paint seal system £100 ; Automatic interior mirror £30 ; Electric seat refurbishment £100. I bought the car to put the engine in my racing TVR. When I got it home I realised that the car was too good to break and was persuaded by my racing enthusiast friends to restore it, which I did and over did it on how much I spent. You will see that I have spent £2,700 on the refurbishment. No profit just a loss.

Hmmmmmm. A lot of that expenditure is over-priced.

Couldn't agree more,I could buy two GOOD batteries for that price for instance,there is little doubt that he has wasted his money and really should keep the car for himself.

It's back on again at £1995 this time.
Still too much IMHO.
£1250 - £1500 in A1 condition I reckon.

Sadly not even that with 95k on the clock and an 'M' reg. An 'R' reg facelift estate with 98k only went for about £900 recently.

What's the Autoglym treatment then? Don't look very shiny to me 
Maybe its the sunshine
Or is that what the met black ones look like?
