Well as we all know, the 84' Mayfair I bought turned out to be a right lemon plum and as I'm almost ready to sit my test I havent the time skills or enthusiasm to repair it. So when this yellow beast came up in the for sale section I had to have a look! I went this evening to check him out, I made my old man get on the floor to check it out while I spoke to the owner, Turns out shes pretty damn solid ;D Even though he has oversills  Well this is him..  He does need a few things doing to him, a bulkhead box has been fitted and just needs to be welded (a welder has been sourced & my old man can weld, woo) the engine needs to be bolted onto its mountings, manifold, carb and exhaust need to be put back on. The interior needs a tidy up and I need a new handle for the drivers door as its broke. It has a 1340 engine with a high lift cam, a racing head, and a straight cut gearbox, It has a plaque on the rocker cover saying "raced built and designed by gary worlsey" (Is he a name in engine building?) Has a fibreglass front end, and 13x7 superlights  but they do look good. I've put a deposit down on him and will collect him this weekend or early next week. I've already named him Pac Man, as I intend to eat Saxos, Polos, 106s and most importantly my friends 1.1 C2. It also comes with Turbo goodies, and only needs the pipes to complete the job..   I shall update with piccys when I pick her up, over and out. |

Not yet, I've gotta book it for a months time. Havent looked into it yet, but Im going to go with a classic policy so that should drop the price a lot, my only worry is the engine size, but its still registered as the 998, I may risk it, I may put my 998 in though.

Good luck with the insurance mate. Itl defiantly be more than what you paid for the car  . It would be a shame to have to put the 998 in it though. Anyway, it looks fab! |

Well I know Sam pays around £500 on his classic insurance policy.. And as mine is still on the book as a 998 Im hoping it will be a bit cheaper  |

And if you get caught then not only is your insurance void (you might as well not have it) it is a criminal offence and you can do serious time for it. |

But they wouldnt be able to tell its a 1380 without measuring the bores? I'll make sure I crumple the engine  |

The lack of tappet chest covers and the position of thermostat housing will tell them its at least a 1275cc
