Buying a car without taking a looking at it first, is always going to be dodgy.

I'd at least want to see every corner of the floor (front footwells, under the rear seat and the boot floor, along with the rear suspension towers and the firewall), all of which are common places for it to rot. Then the outer sills and a shot or two of the car from the other side.

A video of the engine running would be good too.

Linkoping maybe 200km South of Stockholm, but it's still 1000k from here!

Thats my two-penneth worth...

Thanks for your 2d, I have seen a lot of photos re drop box, just never owned a 2 stroke before lots of V4's so I'm up on where they rot.. kind of.. :)

Guess its the engine / trans I'm lacking any knowledge on, messed around with moto X two strokes thats about it..


It isn't to bad underneath, sills appear to be ok, one rear turret has been welded not the best job..

Most of it seems repairable..

it's been stripped down but all parts are with it..

It's the price I'm pondering on... it's is affordable compared to all the rest that are advertised at the moment..

That’s been on there quite a while and caught my eye before. Everything (almost) is repairable. I’m sure if it was somewhere more local it would have been sold by now
