What's this likely to do to the car?
Considering that:
a. We are looking to sell them on, potentially for profit.
and
b. Driving from somewhere near Kames to Dundee in a 500quid banger is probably risky enough never mind if the car is falling apart having been through a grass test... ?!

Yup, some tasty classics, and fairly respectable looking newer stuff.
Just awaiting some email replies from owners. Already had some insurance quotes.

I did spy a scumball 620 T somewhere.
Been looking for something interesting as a potential SETG Challenge car, but don't have the cash to compete this year unfortunately.
May try to attend an event as a spectator though and am looking forward to loads of pics!
