The milage is good, but it all goes down hill after that :(
Looks like it's been parked in a garage that was just a bit too small for it :P
Poor spray job and even poorer touch ups :shock: that you can just about see, if you look very carefully :lol:
I like it

A good project car for someone on the lookout for one. Needs a paint refresh as an expensive fix, but it's a good price

that car has been doing the rounds a bit, i saw this car on a friend of a friends drive 3 years ago, he sold it to someone else i sort of know, who i believe took the fuel pump out in an attempt to getting it going, probably without success, so sold it on, and now its at this dealers, saying a good project, i was actually offered this car before the first sale at a lot less than its being offered for sale now,, but i have lack of storage, hope this helps someone who may be thinking of purchasing this car,

I don't know the car or its history - but simply from the photos and price I wish I'd known about it a couple of days ago - I have just returned from Canterbury and would have dropped in to have a look.

It does look like a bargain - at the price that would make good sense to restore it, but if anything major is discovered, no money would be lost on selling the parts.....

Basically, I'd have gone and bought it yesterday :roll:

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Easily the cheapest S2 i have ever seen, but it does need a bloody big hug from anyone planning to getting it up to scratch again. Got to be worth saving though. Interesting Ltd edition number too, as long as youre not superstitious. :shock:

Picked up by another M100 owner on one of the Facebook groups - not sure if it is for restorations or parts though ?

Don't know it but doesn't sound like it needs much - think he means galvanised wishbones , not galvanised chassis !!
