Holy shit, that's stupidly expensive :dizzy:

The door might be closing but the gutter/roofline looks to have been bent up. I'll have whatever drugs he's on :rasta:

I think he pulled it with a ram to try and straighten it so the door is closing now. Dont know if he will get €2,750 for it though. I think he bought it off the insurance company for €800, He paid them €1,000 and they gave him back €200 for taking it off the road.

Well worth that broken, did you have the option to buy?

Hopefully any prospective buyer will notice that the passenger side front wheel is well back - it'll drive in circles.

Was the engine reconditioned? You mentioned a flickering oil pressure light after a motorway run....

should he have? did you try buy it off the insurance?

If I bought it, it would probably be left to rot in the yard, plus the fact that my mother never wants to see it ever again. We told the insurance girl that we would like to see either Billy or Emilio get it because they might be able to make some use of it.

It actually had a new case, new barrels, pistons and heads last year by Billy, and Tom Roberts put a new carb and manifold on it. Regarding the oil pressure light, it was the berg temperature dipstick that was causing it to light up not the oil pressure. It was overheating because I was driving it at 75 mph over a long distance.
