Can't go far wrong at that price IMO, even if you break it and scrap it after a few weeks ;)

Yep but I wasn't looking for the same colour it just worked out that way :) I just hope the rust isn't to bad when I see it in the flesh  :)

Our old Mig is the same year and no rust on the body, even in the usual places, must have been a good year...... :y :y
Mind, it puts the value of ours in perspective..... :( :(

Well you did right not going too £451 as now I've got it I think it top money should have been £300/350 not because the body or the interior bad quite the opposite both are really quite good, but mechanically it needs a fair bit work :( & this is why I hate not seeing it before I buy it :( :(
