Roscoe Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 My father in law was given this mk1 from his auntie about 6 years ago. It has done 40,000 miles from new. Not a spot of rust on it. It's been sat in a dry but disused garage for the last 5-6 years. I have now been tasked with getting it road worthy again ready for some summer fun. Anyway here are a couple of photos I got of it tonight while I was removing the battery in hope I could revive it with a charge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That is very cool. Lovely condition from the look's of the pictures too. Never mind getting it ready for the road, ...just needs a 2.0Litre Duratec engine & instant light weight track car.
