old skool cool....i would if my funds permitted....but all my funds are spoken for...by my 4!!! I got paid yesterday....let the games commence!

[Martiny]

Ive got the funds but not the space, and then there is the "no more cars" curfew!

[ska]

how bout u pay for it and ill keep it at mine then...i have no curfew.......yet!!!!

[Martiny]

Thinks.........

[MikeLMR]

come on Martin, its not a very big car how could it hurt

[oldone]

The best thing on it is the alternator,its still shiny :rollin ,the rest of it is a waste of time,unless you want to use it as a donar or you got plenty spares......its got all the classic 323 rust spots and to fix the dents and bangs is DIFFICULT cos of it rounded body nature...my honest opinion......but then again i placed my bid :evillaugh

This might explain the rust................

Oldone, go for it !

This might explain the rust................

 :spank

the fact that its a 1970\'s Mazda is enough to explain the rust (the 323\'s were pretty notorious the world over for rust!)

Ohh tempting and it\'s only up the road from me! The ideal run around I wonder what the insurance would be?? (28 no claims/points etc).

[travellinbob]

I would reckon that the insurance would be very  little. But Mike would be the best to advise on that as he has one!

[MikeLMR]

mines fairly expensive as its a fourth car ! + its on a competition policy !

standard its not going to cost feck all though.

Quoted from the Ebay desciption:

"The car is MOTed until Dec and when the brakes are sorted out it would make a very useful  classic run around, qualifying for cheap tax and a classic insurance."


OK, I\'m intriqued now!  Has anyone ever got an old 323 onto classic car insurance?  Who with?  Also last time I tried I couldn\'t find a "specialist" or "car club" to value it!? :eek

Plus it doesn\'t qualify for cheap tax unless it\'s pre-1973!!! :xconfused
