workmate just bought a Gem!!
 

just had a call from a workmate to go and view a car for him , and i was gutted to say the least,

its been RIGHT NEXT to where i have been working and didnt spot it

its a Y plate , coupe with the 1900 engine,

its completely stock with next to no rust, correct alloys, front bumper lip, and only 55K MILES!!!, the headlights are in mint condition, as are the wings and arches with just light rust under the rear 1/4 window and along the sills,

i would have snapped it up if i saw it but at least its going to be repaired and not broken, its been off the road for 10 years!!

will post up a pic in a min

all for a measly £500

wounder!

Do you walk around with your eyes closed at work then!!!!!

i think i must do lol

its a 5S and the guy has had it for YEARS, he is about 60 so its never been thrashed especially judging by the condition ,

heres a pic , sorry its the only one i got!

its lucky i didnt buy it thinking about it as i would have only stripped it for bits for the GT i have !

nice, very nice! Looks just how it should!

Looks,nice.
 

You should,Gazump him.Offer the old chap,alittle bit more.:ihih:And sell the plate,to ANDY.

yeah i know, i was tempted to outbit him but hey! , will keep you updated with his progress

Very nice find!

But why have they always got towbars on them! :lol:

ye mines got one,it doesn't make sense why you'd put a towbar on a coupe gt, where they factory fitted ?

Yup! nice save.nice reg,looks good and solid,i do love those red coupe strips,hope to see it on here :rock:

that needs to be restored to originality and former glory. Looks very very nice.

Mine came with a tow bar fitted. It wasn't on for long!! though I could imagine a torquey old 5 pot lump makes a good trailer puller
