A bit ropey looking but you can't argue with the price
Dent removal guy to sort the dent - £75-100.
Add side trim £50.
Tart up the rusty wing.
Good valet.
Might it be on the V car register with the side damage? - edit, clearly not as its shown on MOT history as an advisory for last few years.
Easy worth £500-1000 after that.

My only concerns would be structural corrosion and a terminal drivetrain problem, but at that price you'd probably make your money back if you broke it for bits.
If it was up to me, I'd go and look at it, but I don't think MrsC would be too impressed, even though I told her she could do a paint job on it...
ETA: Next cheapest on Autotrader is £990...

No. I always assumed I'd have to shoot myself if I ever had anything to do with that advert. ETA: Direct line cheaper by £28.

Disagree. Look at the size of the guys forecourt. Its never something he would retail and its a cheap px car he has priced as scrap.
At that price, provided when you go the car starts drives and stops and isn't too far I would say it was worth a punt.

@bezzer It's Jim's threads I come to for entertainment I have a later version of one of those Pininfarina-styled cabrios, will be selling it soon, hopefully I'll get more for it than that

Ah, I see. You mean that's a bit tame. Ok, here is a real challenge for you..! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1989-FIAT-PAND...725.m3641.l6368 Even comes with its own "emergency exit" rear window (or you can also escape through the hole in the chassis)

I'm also disappointed here - would love to see someone take this on! Still time to change your mind again Jim. Having said that, the 306 is a much better looking car.

The problem is that once I've added up all the costs of fetching and fettling it, it is going to owe me more than other newer, lower mileage, nicer examples.
If we just wanted a cheap runabout, it would be different, but we can't justify it for the hell of it. Sadly, because I'd still love to do it for the craic.
Find me a van for similar money and I'd do it!
ETA: I've always liked the 306 Cabrio, but MrsC threatened Jimexit over it...

Find me a van for similar money and I'd do it! Is that a challenge Mr C? That depends; are you asking me before or after I speak to MrsC? Well we certainly don't want to see any kind of Jimexit, so maybe a little word in her ear first.
