Bad points:

50p sized bit of rust on leading edge of bonnet

i17.photobucket.com_albums_b79_DaveL485_Blue_20Five_28a5011a.webp

Bottom of drivers door bubbling

Otherwise, pretty rust free and really good underneath for a five lol.

Door cards scruffy

Bottom of the tailpipe has scraped the floor

Clutch has a harsh bite point, takes some getting used to. I have removed the soft-pedal conversion but will include it in the sale.
Drivers window winder has been repaired but another would probably be best. If I were keeping it i'd replace the whole drivers door.
Throttle is stiff, but operational. I have bought a new steel belted sheath with teflon coated cable but not fitted yet.
Fuel tank is a bit of a horror, I have this to be mounted in the front

I will include it in the sale at asking price.

Car will come with full MOT, at asking price. Not MOT'd yet but I will before sale.
No tax but I can tax it if you wish, at your expense.

Car needs mapping. It was never mapped properly in the first place AFAIK.....so do NOT expect to be able to mash the throttle from the get-go. It does drive however, I have used it on the road with no issues. It idles a bit lumpy but I dont imagine thats too much to iron out.
Holds temperature fine (Fan is on a manual switch), doesnt overheat. Thermostat opens a little late (~90 degrees) so probably wouldnt hurt to replace it.

Please note that right now I do not have the V5 in my hands, however will happily hold car on a deposit until the V5 arrives.

Engine conversion is registered with DVLA so no sulky MOT man asking questions.


I'm selling it because I only bought it to save it from a dusty death, it's just not my 'thing'. I am an enthusiast (have a R9, R19, R21, Fuego and Clio of my own) but a tall one (6'6") and I simply dont fit in it very well. It doesnt suit my driving style either, and I don't like R5 interiors. ick. I just dont like it!

No test pilots, or timewasters please.
