    Barry, those vanettes and the like ARE pure scrap, even when they were new......0 to 60 in a fortnight, unreliable spanish built nissan muck.....half shaft oil seals leaking galore........yes, SCRAP ..........and as for the DOE......lol.......a valid DOE can be bought......a DOE cert can be as bent as a 6 euro note..........lol........

    and to be honest, that volvo you posted, is end of life scrap too......


    on a lighter note, the engine cover on that 156 looks errrrmmmmmmmmm, RUFF !! lol

    TBH, everything you've said about the Nissan is probably true! :D

    How did you come to the conclusion that the Volvo is scrap though?

    To me, 8.8 seconds to 62mph doesn't seem slow!

    How do define slow? 220 km/h top speed and below 8s 0-100 km/h - is that "horribly slow" :confused:.

    Cheap yoke to potter around in. Would offering 500 quid be too cheeky!

    tbh, I think the price reflects the mileage.

    body looks pretty straight to me,

    One dent makes it end of life rubbish? I don't think so but sure everybody has different opinions.

    Also, embarrassment? How so?

    Not sure what you're expecting for €600-750, this is bangernomics, it's got an NCT and should last a year.

    Would you really believe a FSH on a €800 car??? :rolleyes:

    As for belts, at that price I'd be suspicious too.

    Doesn't the tippex on the engine cover say the belt was done 100000 odd miles ago?

    Not tunable enough for a track car. The 1.8T above would be a better option, although its still a bit soft for a track. A "slower" Honda would make a better track car.
