Wonder if the fuel lines are still routed underneath the jacking points 🥴

I guess all things considered, it’s potentially a good starting point for a refurb., but in all honesty 4.5K?

Looking at the ad it seem to be ok ,but you never know until you stand in front of it 

[ANDY ABBOTT]

Remember seeing pics of under it there was some crazy looking stuff going on. 

[1200bandit]

Standard. Ate, you seen more than me but that is probably what we expect now 😂

Going back a few years, this car was sort of known on and off here and was a young woman's run-about when it had a pastel orange paint job. I wonder if the mileage is 210,000? A recent bottom end rebuild, previous head work (and I remember someone asking for advise in tech help about it) and mention of the knackered diff, it most likely has seen some use.

It also went from way up North to very South from its last change of hands!

Well for a start the fuel lines was routed under the jacking points so imagine putting a jack under it and crushing the fuel lines whilst jacking the car up lol. Some very funky looking welding and pipework was going on. May have been sorted now this was a couple of years ago when I seen it.

Might trash the name though in many peoples mind

SUV story wasn’t the one I was thinking of, at work and pasted what I thought was the one I’d read

This one might not damage the name as much as an SUV

Can see the manta A influence, although back in the day we where meant to be driving futuristic designs. 

Just maybe not flying upside down 🤣🤣🤣

I do like the air brake, and the wheels, wonder do you drive in the sleep position,  massive booty ❤️😎

It’s like GM caught a glimpse of the 220 in its design phase and went back to their own drawing room, presumably drunk, and had their way with the pencils and straight edge 🤣
