Hi folks I've been offered a broom yellow 20v turbo, 69k,same owner since 99 and 1 previous.... hasn't ran/been on the road since 2006, only wants £200 for it, what you guys think?

Ummm…buy it?

Yes - I've paid more the £200 for brake pads, gotta be worth a punt.

Figured as much,always wanted a broom example,could be a cheap way of getting one,I suppose

no brainer

Yep, good find! Belts of course as a starter and check for rust in usual suspect areas and zap before it gets any worse.

If you don't do it yourself and are looking for someone to do the work, you could try John at M Motors in Middlefield opposite Bookers, right at the end of the road before you hit the field

Cheers Edinburgh,but I do my own work,although at times wish I had no clue.....

Do it!

Meant to be collecting it tommorow,il get pics up and start a thread,,, needs tyres/brakes/cambelt/exhaust and probably all new fuel/brake lines,and that's just what I noticed straight off!

Been and paid for it,collecting tommorow as I don't fancy loading the car onto my van in the dark, 1 previous owner and 3 keys/2 fobs and mileage is correct at 69k,so a good start,looking through receipts it's had brake pipes for its last mot,so one less thing needed.I'll get it on my mates ramp and compile a list (hope it's not rotten!!) Pics asap

Good luck with this one fella, hope it works out well

Can't go wrong with paying 200! Looking forward to seeing the pics and I hope the report from the ramp is not to bad.

Hi folks, as promised some pics, as you can see, I've got my work cut out, although she appears to be fairly rust free, progress will be slow for now, as I'm busy at work and it was a bit of an impulse buy!

Looks like it's been standing for a while. I hope you flush the oil through the turbo before attempting to start her
Good man for giving into you heart

Yeah 6 years, I'll put a little down the bores and turn her over by hand first, then crank her just on the starter, i.e no fuel/spark..

Good luck!

Looks like the Laurieston bypass between the roundabouts?

Close, Reading just passed the big Tescos, by the canal,the tip next door, that looks like a scrap yard (prob why you thought bypass!)

It's going on my mates ramp next week, hopefully its not rotten

Good luck with the restoration Kerr20v.
Looking forward to reading about your progress.
