The pictures of the interior brings back some memories - I had a 1300E as my second car, and I absolutely loved it  :y

What a complete and utter shit heep!

I mean I'm sure once some classic enthusiast gets hold of it and restores it, it will look fantastic and be worth a hefty price tag; but £1,700 for a c ar that currently has more rust and mechanical issues than Titanic in what is apparently the worst recession since the 1930's?????????

Isn't that the normal reason for oil leaks?  Should never park next to a garage on a concrete pad  :o ;)
