My long suffering dad is going to have a look at a fairly clean looking A2 1.4 this afternoon.
It appears to be very basic spec. No roof. No fogs. No climate.
That doesn’t bother me so much as it’s a low mileage engine. Bodywork looks clean. So my question to the gurus and kind contributors of this unique forum is.
What are the key things he should check for?
The ad is on gumtree. In Clapham. For £800. It’s 75k. Dark blue.
Things like Petrol release buttons. Windows. Overall condition of the interior is a no brainer I guess. But he knows plenty about cars but not if there are key things to look for with this. A2’s he knows very little about.
I see on the mot history it’s had issues with roll bar linkages and headlight issues. But nothing too major I can see. If I get it I’d like to possibly change to sports steering wheel and tap up the ad fro, Birchall about the sports wheels for sale. But not doing anything until i have something in my possession.
Many thanks.
