Is this the 'Wolsey House Motors' effect? I do hope its not someone on here :o
It's done over 250,000 miles and has body damage.
Starts at £500 but could be yours for £1200!

If it had been a 2.1 being silver I might have offered him £150.00 for it.

:lol: , dont like the funny colour door or the panel damage, thats the worst one to hit, if it was a wing or grill i wouldnt think anything of it but the rear quarter panel is a different story alltogether , and the box is obviously feeling its age too :)

Although to its merit, it's an honest description (and gives a lot more detail than Previous ebay thread) and has had a lot of work done to it.
Fitted reconditioned cylinder head with all new head bolts and gaskets. Fitted new set of 12 hydraulic tappets. Fitted relay to starter circuit.
Replaced rubber exhaust mountings and fitted 2 new front suspension strut top mountings (These were £300.00 each from Citroen!)
It must be worth more than the starting price in parts alone. :roll:

There's nothing wrong with a 2.5, its just what your used to working on really i guess and it is a good ad, in fact the car looks really clean its just the panel damage would put me off, if it goes for somewhere around the £500 range it will be a good car for someone at a reasonable price, couple hundred should see the rear quarter sorted but any repair will give trouble at some time, i prefer to replace rather than repair when it comes to body damage.
