Since everyone is selling cars thought I'd get in on the action lol

Its been my runabout for the last 8 months and has never failed me.

Bad Points
MOT just expired.
Tax expires end Nov.
front nearside and rear nearside tyres have slow puncture.
Rust around the arches and minor rust on roof.
Paint bubbling from alloys (mainly front ones)
Small tear in leather on rear seat.
Fanbelt needs tightened.

Would be great to see it running again but obviously they dont value well so could also be stripped for good bits (only selling whole though)

Can be driven away.

Offers welcome (Scrap is around £100-£150 to give you a guide)

why do these things happen?

Almost exactly what I am after but couldnt be further away, total opposite end of the isles!
