My grotty tatty horrible free 205 diesel
Turbo Mini Forums

I have acquired a tatty 205 diesel for free as the title. It is disgusting, all the lacquer has come off the roof and bonnet and it is covered in green rubbish and bird turds about 2" across. Do I-

1 Wash it down just so it looks half presentable? 2 Leave it as it is and drive it about green? 3 Wash it and then re-lacquer it to tidy it up? 4 Lacquer it as it is to preserve the turds and green?

EBAY IT!!! lol

I'm gonna use it actually, work on a steelworks and sick of getting my good cars covered in shite and corruption......so a tatty thing I don't care about will do nicely.....set of waterproof seat covers and some rubber mats and climb into it in boots and overalls jobs a goodun!

It also come with a private plate on it for free, BARGAIN!!!

cool, what plate? anything worth selling?

J 22 LTD---was owned by a guy from brand new who had a clothes shop called "Jazz Limited" hence the plate.
I did enquire about flogging it but by the time you have re-reg'd it afterwards and paid the reg no companies commission then you only end up about £50 better off, didn't really think all the hassle was worth it.

PS It also passed its MOT first time all I did was put some diesel in it and charge the battery!! Although when it pulled into the MOT station in its current state the tester gave me a look as if I had just farted in his face.......and then was nearly speechless when he couldn't find anything wrong with it.....
