  7. I took a 06 Tigra 50k miles, car was tidy.. But leaked in from the bulk head,common problem and easy ish fix if you can be bothered. Car was to nice to scrap, I stuck it on at £500..

I also have some (outdoor) storage within walking distance another 7-8 cars £60 per month If your price is right people have no problems buying from your house, in the last 12+ years I have had zero problems. I have sold bangers up to a £15k VW camper.
