davo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Don't see how you can lose on it at £200 Even if it's a basket case there must be something on it that's got a value to add to its scrap value to equal £200!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toj28 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I was thinking the same 100 pound scrap still has alloys on it crome tips over the arches and 3 spoke wheel we opel center so still a few bits to salvage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiney_norman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Seriously rare car, that. Looks like it's seen better days, but as others have said you'll easily get your £200 back as a breaker if it's too far gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
