Looks decidedly on its last legs, dented front bumper and grille, and down at the bows, a typical fault of the crappy Austin coil spring and wishbone front suspension. Not to mention a roofrack, ever noticed how old bangers seem to sprout a roof rack just before they hit the junkyard? -- Last edit: 2012-11-07 19:04:58

Lateef ◊ 2012-11-07 22:23	No, I didn't
