Lets hope so, I haven't picked it up yet and considering the engine is in the boot with the head off and no compression I think im going to have 1 or 2 questions. |

I agree. I'd be wary of a 1275 GT with a standard front.

If there's been that much money spent on it they should be able to give you a good detailed list of work caried out. If they can't then that would seem very suspect to me. On 2nd Mar, 2008 joeybaby83 said:

That's why I'm asking if anyone knows it before I buy it. I live over 100 miles away from where the car is and Ive posted the full reg twice.

Yes unfortunately you can't tell what's rotten and what's not from a reg and if its a genuine car of that era not much will be origional anyway so a registration number is pretty much useless, if someone's going to recognise the car it will 90percent be from a picture can't they email you one? |

To be fair it was 22 posts before any identification of the car (i.e. the number plate) was forthcoming.

Without seeing the car, I'd be running for the hills from what youve said so far. I'd pay no more than a grand for something that needs work nowadays. To put it into perspective, If it needs welding, paint, engine repairs etc it could easily be 2 or 3 grand depending on what you want. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Where are you buying it from? Ebay/gumtree? What info is on the advert other than what you've told us? I really wouldn't buy a car based on just age/engine with no photos unless you plan on spending a looooot of mularrr on it! They don't die, they just get faster! |
