I expect it has loads of probs to be sorted out, but 5K is still cheap for one of these. I've seen empty shells with a knackered engine go for a couple of grand.

Hopefully its a 72 L and not a 73 L, to make it tax exempt.

Don't want to hijack this thread but have to tell you.

My parents in law have just bought a Bay LHD '79 and paid £6,500 for it from a dealer with no interior, no roof canvas on the pop top BUT it is absolutely solid with no filler anywhere, never been welded.

It had been parked on my drive for a couple of weeks because they didn't want to tax it until the beginning of this month .... when they drove it they found it had started to make a terrible noise, turns out the drive shaft and CV joints need to be replaced AND the dealer had just put a years MOT on it before they picked it up. Receipt says sold as seen, so I guess no comeback.

Have to agree with Nannycatch, we too love our T25 and the room.

Regards

Steve
