Be careful!

The initial cost of the car is only the start of it.
How much do you think a headlight is?
£400+VAT, that's £500 with postage, and you haven't found out if the metering head has melted, or if it "just needs a clean"
How much to "clean" a metering head? £500.
Wiring loom? £200. Bargain! Fitting? two days by an auto electrician, £1700+VAT.

Interior? Dash-good luck finding one!
is the ECU alive? Or do you have £800 for a second hand one (oh-if you can find one.)
Instrument panel? I saw a green one in Germany...£1250.

(no, I'm not trying to put you off so i can buy it. I already have one, and these figures are realistic, and recent....)
