Hey guys,
some good spots on here lately :thumbup:

can I please ask that if you post up details or links to a car that you change the subject title of your post to the reg of the car if it's known..... this makes it much easier for us to search back for a particular car using the search function on the forum which is very handy if someone asks about a certain car and we want to see if it's featured on the forum before.

thanks,
Ian

Series 2 in yellow for sale on Ebay.
Body is full of holes but has a rebuilt engine.
I think his expectations are high based on the engine

The engine looks like it’s been on the sea bed, doesn’t exactly look fresh. Plus been left with no air filter or taped over. A used 12A is not 2500, 500-800 imo. Guys dreaming.

it's a parts car/ project...... where do these people get these price ideas from? Even if it has been rebuilt and there was a receipt for it I'd want a compression test on it. Most old 12a's are on their last legs.
