Virginia is looking for a good home with a loving and capable new owner, I've had her about three years and I've not driven her for about two years so I've decided its time to find her a new custodian to breathe new life into her

The good-

• engine miraculously started first time yesterday and ran sweetly after not being touched for well over a year!

• Her external appearance is still pretty good with the only serious rot being the nsr door bottom

• when this car was on the road she was wonderful to drive, so comfortable and refined with lovely light steering (I'm mildly disabled but found her so easy and a joy to drive)

• has original dealer plates still fitted

• gorgeous Tobacco Leaf (in my opinion the best colour for a p6! So 70's)

• boot full of spares including carpet and new front and rear screen rubbers

The bad-

• doesn't drive- the gearbox lost all its fluid the last time the car was used and the leak has not been diagnosed so she does not engage drive at all (if the gearbox requires replacement there are good reconditioned ones available for around £500)

• the underside will need significant welding and/or new panels and as such should be seen as a full restoration project for a competent welder (this is the main reason im selling her)

• one tyre is flat due to a perished valve - THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED BY FITTING THE SPARE TO ALLOW FOR EASIER LOADING ONTO A TRAILER OR TRANSPORTER

• general recommissioning after sitting for around two years (brakes and general servicing)

The ugly-

• the rust you cant see – assume she will need welding in the majority of areas (we are aware of floors/sills/suspension mounting points/area behind the headlights and the rear of the car)

• the rust on the nsr lower door skin – various light bubbling here and there in other places

• interior got damp before we put a cover on so the carpets are wet and mouldy (there is some better ones in the boot for after the floors have been repaired) seats are a little aged in places and need feeding/recolouring at least

Viewing is welcome before bidding, Ive been extremely honest in my description because I want a good home for her and I don't want anyone to feel disappointed after purchasing. Collection only from Rock Ferry (CH42) obviously you'll need a trailer with a winch or transporter and id like her collected within two weeks please, payment by cash or bank transfer or PayPal, thanks for looking and best wishes Jo
