Good Home Wanted for 440 Turbo

Chittled · Mar 19th, 2014, 15:34

We have a J Reg 440 1.8 turbo that needs a new home. It has approximately 114,000 miles on the clock. Nothing wrong with the engine, but the body is in need of some TLC. Bottle Green in colour, it has Tax until the end of March 2014 and MOT for another month. It has been serviced regularly over the years. Two noticeable issues which can be fixed by someone in the know - a flat battery which can't be accessed because we can't get the bonnet up. Think the cable may have seized or snapped.

Photos available to anyone interested as well as viewings. The car is currently living in South Molton, North Devon.

Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.
