Well I have been looking for awhile and the only cars that seem to turn up are either very trumpy or pretty manky - nothing in between!

I notice there is one in the classifieds that was there when I was looking in 2010!

That is where I saw it.

At auction, for £18k, it was probably good value.

Can move as soon as I get the option of a good car

Does anyone know the story on this one:

The one I kicked myself about went for £14K on ebay about 6 months ago. Rebuilt body painted met orange bonnet scoop, powdercoated rebuilt suspension good 302, new pannies, just needed 40% putting back together.

I spent 2 years looking and almost out of desperation bought a car in my price range without an MOT but knew pretty much what I was getting myself into. It can be a gamble but buying a car like that may open up your opportunities.

There dont seem to be as many Tigers for sale at the moment though?

Its been around for a little while for the same price. The word 'reshell' puts people off. As theres devided thoughts on whether reshells are acceptable its a difficult car to value. I think its cheap for a MKII. Theres a long thread on here about reshells and Im not going to start that one off again.

The vendor has done all thats required of him by declaring it as Reshelled.

It looks a nice example and i'm sure it will find it's place in the market.
