Check rear suspension, all the same rust spots as fours really!

I love twelves, my Step Mum bought one as her first car when my Dad stopped working for a company which had provided him a car. She couldn't drive for another four years afterwards and finally passed her test at nearly 50 years of age.

Hi Pepper! I'll have a good look at it-I agree with you I like the 12 too
I only wished it had been an estate as I would use it for an everyday car.
Main thing is if it's in real good order I guess..
maybe I could turn it into a TL-look Gordini,it's not very heavy so could be fun.

I always prefer sticking a tow bar on the back and using a trailer rather than the back of my car, so there's always that possibility?

car in really good nick-but decided against it as what I Really want is an R12estate -R.

Sell it to me, to grow my collection, next I want a 16ts

16 tx wouldn't be all wrong.. Great hatch-back and really nice drive too.
haven't got the 12 to sell,but my Alpine V6turbo might be up for sale......

Mmm a little too sporty me thinks, lovely cars though always lusted after them back in the eighties!
