The driver's seat is very worn, front spoiler needs repainting. MOT history is not the best so go over the service history, and see just how much is missing. It would be nice if the water pump and thermostat have been changed. A picture of the engine always reveals a few important clues as to her condition. However at that price, it's worth a look.

Looks like a good buy if everything stacks up. The bolster could just be grime rather than worn and the lower front bumper would touch in nicely being a dark colour if you don’t want to go down the expensive paint route. It has extended leather which is always nice to have and it also has a decent sound system. The only way to know for sure is to go and view it and hopefully test drive it. If I was still living 10 mins away from the car I would’ve gone and had a look for you .

I think it’s worth a look, nice colour / interior combo. As others have said check the service history and go from there

It’s running at least 3 different tyres, some run flat, some non.
Agree it needs the front bumper repainting and maybe blended into wings and bonnet?
The leather looks really filthy all over and the car seems pretty uncared for judging by the mot history as previously mentioned.
Leather on the roll over hoop looks ripped and sagging on the leather on the window pilar. Wheels need a refurb and what’s that bee in the window? Shame to see it like this. Big spend probably needed to get it up together.
Or this one has been around a while a looks much better overall…

Not me this one. Looks nice though. Good price

It’s cheap, and a bit grubby. You could add value to this car if you are prepared to invest your time in it. The biggest let down is the leather, but that can be brought up to scratch with a FurnitureClinic kit (others are available) and a bit of elbow grease. Same with the front bumper and a Chipex kit. The wheels are doable too. If you like a garage to fix everything, it’s probably not for you.
