Basically my circumstances have changed since I bought it which now means I am doing too many miles, far too many for a 21yr old very good condition Mk1!There is no structural or bodywork rust anywhere on this car.
It is very reliable, and I have covered over 6000 miles in the past 5 months without a single issue.More pictures uploaded here:
