Receipts for everything that has been purchased for the car & 11 previous owners on the V5 – I am the 12th and have owned it since September 05.

Car will be in top condition and full working order as you would expect from all the above.

Only problem with the car is its past as it was stolen in 1992 and was unfortunately written off by the insurance company following this. The car was fully repaired and has been on the road since so that’s 14 years of driving which just goes to show that everything is ok with the car and that the work was done to a high standard.

No tax or MOT, few things needed to put right before it can go back on the road but i have run out of energy to do myself.

£5995ono

Cheers man, i dropped the price because it has no Tax or Mot....its a shame that i dont have the time/money/energy to finish the car off :(

But im sure it will go to a good home :)

[Bibbs]

I'm finding the Tax/MOT thing is a bit of a hinderance in selling a car.

[Leeky]

Oh right, the mr2? no luck so far then?

[Bibbs]

Lou wants it, a few emails drift in and out ..

Just can't justify Tax and MOT until it's sold. I'll do it for the buyer.
