The 330? Not sure on the miles, mid 100s probably? Front wings bubbling, interior glue failing so trim all over the place, and then a looming 3k bill from the local specialist for lots of things, steering rack being the main one I think. Hence bye-bye time. Not exactly run into the ground, it still goes well and looks good from 5m away. There’s some life stuff coming up and he can’t be bothered with car trouble diversions, but he’s from a time when you could buy a decent used car for <£800 so always struggles when it comes to assessing economic replacements. Car likely fine for someone who wants to get their hands dirty but I’ll doubt he’ll ask anything reasonable for it even though at this point it doesn’t owe him anything.
