Well its been on my mind for a few months now about letting the old man go, Its gotten to a silly point were im constanly scared to use it,let people see it and even clean it incase i scratch it  dont think i have had a good nights sleep in the past year since some pricks got the garage open evey noise im up for a look
Been so fucking awesome owning such an example even with the above and not to mention lucky, i only do about 50miles between mots most years but i guess im just a little tired of the regimented routine i have with it and a little kean to try something else.
Anyway enough of the piss talk, got a fella who is still intrested from a few years ago for 8k... but people are telling me im giving it away for what its like ! got a car show on sunday which im going to be showing it at and going to put some for sales signs on it but still trying to think of a number to put onto it any ideas ? i dont really want to take the piss tho lol
Little brake down not much but the car and history does the talking to be fair.
Genuine 80k
Full Shell Restored
Cars Original Engine no issues
Every bit of history, mots, services,receipts,proof of work/mileage you name it its there
Standard with orginal parts used where replaced

Not sure how corsa driving neds are going to be able to offer an accurate valuation

I want, No I mean I REALLY want 
Only problem is i'd have nowhere to keep it. Couldn't leave it on the driveway or it would go walkies in the night!

Cant believe its going! I'll never get to say 'fuck me Coughtries out in the RS' again.
Even though i've only said it like twice in 3 years
Stick £10k ono on it at Loudon, because of where it is and the type of show you'll be surprised at how much attention it might get.
Actually look forward to seeing it out in the sunshine on Sunday, it even looks epic tucked up in your garage.
