I brought this car a few months ago to work on with my son, when we brought the car the radiator was knackered and the coolant had leaked out so we had the car transported over. we replaced the radiator, thermostat, air and oil filters and the oil bled the system and compression tested the cylinders all seemed fine until we took it for a test drive up our road and the car began to over heat. I left the car for a week then came back to it drained the system to check the water pump and took all the spark plugs out and shone a torch into each bore. no3 cylinder had water in it but there are no signs of oil contamination on the dipstick so we think either the head gasket has gone on the between the cylinder and water or there is a crack.

I do not currently have time to continue with the car so We have decided to put it up for sale as I do not have any inside storage. the car is in good condition for its age and I have tried to take photos of the defects I can see including a missing part on the rear door, a scratch on the same door, some stone chips on the bonnet and wing mirrors and a scratch near the headlight on the bumper and it would need 1 tyre for an MOT. the interior is not perfect but I would say its in good condition.

This car is 25 years old and was off the road prior to the previous owner buying it who got it through an MOT drove it to there yard and that was it based on the fact it did under 15 miles. The car is hence for sale as spares or repairs but if it doesn't sell I will just keep it. Please note this car WILL need to go on a trailer or transporter and cannot be test driven.
