Needs a fair bit of work, the passenger-side turret has rotted through (can just be seen in one of the pics), few other spots of rust in engine bay (pictured), has had a slight rear bump knocking the bumper in the drivers side a little & rusting around the bumper-mounting on rear too, front passenger wing needs either plate-welding or replacing, and also drivers-door needs plating & new lock fitting...
Checked rear floor & boot, aswell as foot-wells & not a spot of rust. Engine also fired up first time & was a little lumpy, but didnt even smoke or anything, but once warm the radiator did start to leak.
£100 tho, TAX till end of September & MOT till next March...

RWD tho  - just not as old as I'd like tho (Manta A or B), but still not too bad!
Interior is also spotless, not torn seats or seams in sight!

no this is true 
i can understand getting a classic car or a car of classic nature, but this doesnt fit in with either section...its just pure bollocks 
i would save the cash for a tuned corsa or something else that you will have more fun at, than wasting 100 quid on something that people will laugh at you all day long

right welding will set you back £300 ish
paint etc £200
so that £600 for a rwd classic car
the interior looks mint
and the lock wont be too much
id buy it if you have the extra to tidy it up
plus i have 1 manta alloy here
so yes buy it

it has 2 spare original wheels & tyres all have good tread.
Welding & spraying I can sort out with my uncle, he's gona give me a call later regarding it & might see it on saturday to get a better look.
Ideally I wana have a good look underneath it & also take it for a quick spin to check the clutch & any noises from axle/transfer box at rear. But with the rad leaking, thats nigh-impossible...

you can check cltuch in seconds just make sure the release bearing is ok
bearing in mind ppl a c20xe drops str8 in
so i wouldnt diss it it has loads of potential
if you uncle will weld it id say it wont cost much at all
