This is a very early car and seems reasonably priced. I just wonder, is the bottom half a different colour to the top or is it just me? I notice that it has a chrome strip from a mark 2 but it looks ok. I am tempted I must say.

The paint does look a bit off, although it could just be reflections. Although it looks nice and is quite cheap I really wish people would close doors and bonets properly before taking photos!

I think I might give them a ring after I've got some insurance quotes. |

If you need someone to have a look, let me know, it doesn't look as if it's too far from here. I'll try and persuade B8R to come with me (for some balance  )

That looks quite smart, it's not often grey looks good on a car but on that it looks OK.

Two-Tone Rovers are the way to go! (sorry again Ste)
It's not a lot of money for (the nicer in my eyes) an S1 with red int, and on the road. £900 buys it? £100 on some new paint and smile, drive it. BUT. No MOT? |

That's one of the things I'll ask the seller when I call them if the insurance quotes are favourable. I think it doesn't look bad. Is that ice alert on the front or is it something else? |

I've phoned FJ about insuring it, and for 3k TPFT it will cost me £799.50, which is a little more than I thought it would be as when I got a quote for a Triumph 2000 with a higher value it was only going to be £610.50. I'm going to see if there are any other companies and work out if it's worthwhile from there. |

Bloody Hell, makes my £2000 quote on a '99 1 litre Micra look a bit steep...

If you think that's cheap you should have seen what they could have done for me with the Princess. For 3k TPFT it was only £426 iirc |
