what car is it? if it was rare like an S2 Rallye then probably 200 miles, but would want detailed info of the car first, and effectively would be travelling to buy unless i found anything wrong with it.

Err most was 70 miles away to look at a nova (first car) got there and it was shit not best pleased considering the lad said it was mint

He had a 'smooth' boot with no way of opening it, rust everywhere, 2 speakers taped together in the boot it was a complete mess nearly punched the little ned.
