That looks like something I'd buy
What's the plans for it? Restore or run it till it dies?

That sounds like a plan
I got worried a first found mayo under the oil cap and the car kept bogging out under low revs. Turned out condensation on the cap and suspected water in the petrol
on the plus side how much do you guys reckon i paid for her?

I'd say about 100-150
I've got mayo on my oil cap too and it also bogs out under low revs, booked in garage 2 minutes away from me tomorrow so will find out what's wrong with it for definite then.

Most 1.2 8v always have a little mayo under them so not always the case to worry lol

Mine had loads but emptied the oil out and filled it with about 3.5 litres of tractor desiel and ran the engine for 30 seconds, then drained that and fitted new filter and filled up with new oil and no more gunk at all

Its cheap thats what the differance is haha.. Diesel is very good for cleaning the inside of the engine, and wont do any harm running it for a very short time
