Re: Sprint

The green Sprint was for sale in Glossop about three/four years ago I think. I test drove it on behalf of a sort of work colleague. Was a good car then and going for a song. Colleague prevaricated and it was sold elsewhere. I should have had it...same old story.<br>
<br>
"Susie's" car was not all bad, quite solid in places, not in others. All four jacking points had gone together with NSF and OSR inner arches, ie both outer cills off and what lurks beneath? Boot floor gone in the usual places, front inner wing rails had work done badly on OS, but very sound on NS. Chassis leg on NS tidy, as was rear roofline. All arches had lost paint and surface rust prevailed, but probably didn't need panelwork, except for OSR at junction with cill where filler prevailed apart from wheer it had dropped out! Front lower valance adrift from wings. Interior shabby/neglected. Engine fired readily, but was running on 2/3 only - may have been a simple fix on the engine running, but as significantly worse than described...we walked. Would be a good 'project' for someone who knows what they are doing and has the time, but at a tad less than it went for at auction...oxdonian?<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
