    Just the handbrake that I know of for the MOT, but she would be pre-MOT'd by my indy, so I know what I'm letting myself in for before the test. She's been off the road for 5 weeks, but is taxed until Sept. I intend to MOT her end of May, when I have saved some of my work's mileage money.

    You are totally correct Sir, and this is one of two cars that I'm currently 'sat on'. The C70 is also a non-mover, as I need an estate car for almost all that I do personally and work wise, and have 2 of those.

    My sigy pic is the good side, with the offside having a faded rear quarter. Think there's a few in my garage, but she needs 2 front wings and the full respray for sure. Drives very well and I've been to Inverness and back plus several hundred other trouble free miles.

    Your car has made me think twice about what to do with mine as your's is an awesome car, but if she was my only car, then I would be prepared to spend big on her.

    I'm not going to say its your car so do what you want, lol this is a Gul! You can't break it, it's a special car yeah it has high millage but to the rite person they could make it concourse, I think all these guls need to be put rite. I wish I one the lottery I would have that thing shipped off to a car restorer to get it better than it was when new.

    Right, If there is genuine interest in Gul, then I will start a for sale thread. I will MOT her, but that is it. It will break my heart when she goes(but it also upsets me that she's stuck in a garage), but like Claymore said, maybe someone else can sort her.

    That's basically where I am now. There were other money matters at the end of March, so Gul ran out of MOT and was garaged. I planned on the bodywork for next year, to spread the expenditure, but I don't know if I could bring myself to pay that much. The amount you paid was enough and you got a cracking job.

    I suppose it all depends on how much you want for her Mark, would be a real shame to break this one.
