I've bought this weeks copy as there's articles on the Manta, RWD Corolla, and a group test including a Beta and an Excel (plus much more).

Mind you, I start at the back with Our Classics, then the classifieds.
An n/a is listed. Here's what it says{-

1997 94000 miles. £995 ono. 20v in dark red metallic with with cream leather. Recent cambelt change and mot to November. A few dings and scratches to body but nothing serious. Drives spot on. 07949 125007 Huddersfield

Reg number from the pic is P170RYU

If anyone is interested.

here it is.

If there's an N/A for sale anywhere in the country, I know about it

I did speak to him, he told me the underside is sound and oil pressure is good.

I'm still holding out for something a bit special though, but may have to settle for something, well... less at this rate!

whilst were on the topic of n/a's for sale, this one isn't a half bad shout for the money.

speed red vis (£1000)

Again for anybody looking.

Ooh, that is nice.

But not for you??

No mate, I'm after quite a specific model, it must have a sunroof, and be a pre-vis. Or for that price, I would have at least gone to view it.

Pretty much like the one you found in your post above, I even love that colour, and must say it's priced well too, it's niggles are easy fixes, and if the underside and oil pressure are as good as he claims, it will be a bargain for somebody. I'm going to stick it out a bit longer, until I come across something that screams BUY ME!
