In my my view any reasonable looking car with a 12 mth ticket has to be worth £400-£500, its a bit hard to tell from those pics how good she really is but I'd say potentially a good buy...

The wheels are worth a ton; buy it, put steels on it, sell the wheels, drive it for a year and see what happens.

Bargain.

hi all,

went down this morning and bought the car,
was in good nick and rust free, the starting bid was ment to be £1350, whilst not concourse, i gave £900 for a solid car plus;

a spare 1850 engine,
sprint prop/dif,
gearbox,
4 sprint alloys with snow tyres,
4 spare cobas plus the 4 on the car,
2 x 5.5 steel wheels,
2 x front wings,
a boot lid.
tow bar, roof rack,
2 x steering racks,
4 sets of suspension,
loads of rear lights
and a shed load more suff that i cannot remember are.

I ll be cleaning/sorting the stuff out in to stuf to keep, stuf to go on my 1500TC and stuf to ebay/sell/bin.

I think £900 is about right as it might be difficult to get rid of some stuff.

Bargain. If you flog the wheels mention TR7 and Spitfire inthe listing heading and they'll go a long way I reckon!
