Due to other commitments, ( house purchase during a pandemic ) I can’t afford to fix the car anymore.
So sadly and with much regret, it has to go.

This is not an easy post as I have over 8 years of happy memories with this car.
It’s taken me all over the U.K. for holidays, it’s been to Le Mans in France.
It’s climbed mountains, waded rivers, rescued friends in blizzard conditions, helped 2 mates move house, and been a dependable car for work.

Car is located in north Lanarkshire in Scotland.
Will need trailering away.

I’m looking for £2750 Ono for the car and all the parts that come with it.
I won’t split items.

Because it’s on SORN and also the drivers calliper would jam on after 20 miles.


However, doesn’t really matter now.

Car is withdrawn from sale.
