Cheap broken coupe

I knew you had a go between but before you jump on another car I would say its worth a punt of speaking to the owner directly. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I might write to them, I’ve got nothing to lose…….?

I'd knock on the door- harder to ignore, more likely to understand your sentimental attachment and easier for your to garner an idea if there is any likelihood they will part with it at any price.

Sod it, I have a few days off next week once the kids are back in school, I’ll drive over and knock on. See what happens.

I’ve been chatting to the owner over the last week.. When you buy a non runner from Copart you have to know a little about cars surely?

For the sake of taking spark plugs out and trying to turn it over I can’t believe it’s hydrolocked. More likely electrical damage which could be harder to find or a bent piston.

I’d love to play but sadly it’s a really basic spec so cant justify pulling it from one end of the country to the other. There’s a boot at Quarry Motors for £600 in the right colour if anyone takes it on.

The seller just messaged me, he is trying to fix the car himself. Just sent me a picture of the engine bay, minus the engine! Hopefully he can get it put right and back on the road!

I’ve been trying to buy this but we can’t agree a price. It’s an interesting/confusing car.

In all honesty, it’s already a cheap Coupe… Every Pound less than £3500 is making it more attractive, even it’s more to do than the mentioned issues.
