This is not an easy post as I have over 8 years of happy memories with this car.

It’s climbed mountains, waded rivers, rescued friends in blizzard conditions, helped 2 mates move house, and been a dependable car for work.
Car is located in north Lanarkshire in Scotland.
Will need trailering away.
I’m looking for £2750 Ono for the car and all the parts that come with it.
I won’t split items.

Because it’s on SORN and also the drivers calliper would jam on after 20 miles.
However, doesn’t really matter now.
