LMFAO!
I thought it would be a bargain in that condition with no rust on it.weird though it has clothe seats and not leather!
The japs don't like it apparently.- Circuit Pack 
they would be ok to use in the summer I guess, I'll leave them behind the seats for you as no use to me - Gaydon to Singapore Overland www.go60sharing.co.uk- I insure mine (all of them now...ish) with A-Plan. I insured directly with A-Plan, Thatcham branch - they deal specifically which what's been dubbed as grey imports. They also took on my Mk1 NA (which is a UK/IRL car) for a couple of hundred and they'll be insuring my SC in the next week or so for a few hundred. All fully comp.(I think it was ten years, could have been fifteen).

Just like your Mk3 Toni!
That statement coming from you made me fall off my chair!
But that's just what I have done!! I've always had my cars a little while before playing...didn't mod my SC until I'd had it for six months so ner to you! What do you think I've done to the MK3?& the cheapest when I rung round, you may have a lot of problems with just randon insurance places as a lot of them will not have them listed on there systems, they will be trying to tell you its a turbo or a 2 litre etc, stick to the places people on here use A PLan, Sky etc they do look nice though the mirrored panels It comes in an aerosol and is a spray on, leave for a while in the warm sunshine and then wipe the excess off jobbie.(sorry) and that brought them back to life. Not sure if they're the same for the Mk1 as for the Mk2 (sorry) but the idea is the hole which accepts the T-top locking pin is offset from centre - so for a tighter fit turn the rod guides around and it'll move the hole for the locking pin to give a tighter fit. My T-top in the Tubby (sorry) leaked like a good'un but I just grew used to having a damp right shoulder and at the time I didn't have a regular passenger so the passenger side wasn't a problem at all..- they are pretty much the same. The seals are on the car not the t-bars themselves anyway. Though the pins that pull the tbars into the seals are on the t-bar panels and if you dismantle them they can be tightened up a touch IIRC (also try adjusting the plastic plugs that the tbar pins go into as these allow for more 'pull' on the panels over time.'top up' the seals where it was dripping a little . . seems to have done the trick! **fingers crossed** lol
.. so you're the cheeky b*****d... (Just to explain, I was holding off as the MOT for the daily driver is this week, I wanted to get that done before buying an SC. My Dad persuaded me this morning to "just sodding go for it". Get back home to an internet connection and it's already gone... 
You snooze you lose, eh? )(current seller) bought it back in November. It is in good condition, for £2495 you got a bargain. However, from memory you're probably going to want to give the suspension some attention over the next year or so, (it was planted to the ground, but the steering didn't feel that... direct... Guess it could be the wheels) but all in, the car seemed pretty straight. Of course, that was seven months ago... A-plan, Thatcham branch is a good idea. If you can, speak to Carly, she's very helpful, and I think given the amount of times I've now called her for a quote she probably knows a bit about Mk1s... (One of these days I may actually get my insurance through them just to put the poor girl out of her misery!!!)(or motor factor/internet/ebay...) Remove the T-bar panels, spray silicon lubricant lavishly on the rubber seals... make sure to put a cloth or something underneath where you're spraying so that you don't spray inside the car too - oh and try not to spray on the paint either! (It doesn't damage paint but is a bit messy!)'soak' into the rubbers. Then, using an absorbant cloth, wipe off any excess so that your panels don't get too mucky...- on the edge where the window comes up into contact. Again, leave to soak, wipe off excess. This is where most of the leaks begin...- when I first saw it up for sale I recognised it pretty much instantly!& failed on a bulb & a balljoint so that was all sorted a few weeks ago plus its only done 3000 miles since the last mot so is pretty much the same I would say the T-bar seals & door selas have been done with the silicone spray already still had some left from when I did my NA a last year - looks like the car had been looked after. If there are teething problems, there are a few of us about to point you in the right direction
