Yes it\'s 100% complete, it will run but badly so unless the coils are dead or the cat has colapsed i\'d say it\'ll need an engine. That said i haven\'t bothered looking for the problem as he doesn\'t want to spend any money hence i\'m stating worse case scenario as this is the best way to sell it.

I\'ve seen good runners sell for less than £3K. A rebuild will probably cost 2-3K depending on what\'s wrecked internally? Rebuild kit is like £1k alone. Coils 2-300, mot, tax (expensive bracket). Yeah, it\'s an ok price but I wouldn\'t say cheap necessarly. Good for someone who can do the rebuild themselves.

It\'s a for sale post not an opinion poll my pretty, if you don\'t want it then i\'m not really bothered in your ideas of value :2Rolleyes
I\'ve also seen good runners for £2k, there are such things as used engines and coils........it\'s a cheap project......there\'s a clue in the title :Giggle  It\'d make a great twin turbo or V8 car!!

This is a club, not an anonymous for sale site, so it\'s best that fellow members have all the facts and opinions from both sides of the coin before they jump to any conclusions

how do I need to understand \'runs bad\'? Considering I may want to drive it  about 800 kms home :-)

Does it start properly?
can it run 60mph without trouble?

Just asking as it would make a difference to come with or without trailer.

It\'ll run ok but i personally really wouldn\'t want to try to drive it for 800kms if i\'m honest!

It\'d be £50 for fuel and £50 for the driver for the day so it\'d be £100 delivered, if you try \'Shipley\' you may get an empty load quote at a better price so it could be worth a try?
