Ok, went to have a look at a few cars today. A couple of 98 Specs in Stone, been offered 3K for mine with it being picked up from where it's located and px for this possibly 
A few bits need sorting, the front bumper needs a respray and the plastic grill between the headlights needs a spray due to fading and a large scratch.
The seats would be swapped out asap I'd put my black ones in and a few other interior bits and pieces.
No rust from what I could see, didn't seem to roll as much as mine in the corners and maybe a bit firmer on the buttocks but nothing to bother about.
The engine felt very tight and pulled hard, no tappety idle like mine.
It's a 99 reg with 72K on the clock. Clutch was stiff and may need changing in the near future.
Possibly only two or three in England in this colour, a few more in Ireland/Northern Ireland, so even more exclusive than the Red
Will have a look at some more next weekend down in Devon, a couple of White ones. No rush, especially with the insurance company dragging their heels a bit.

Wouldn't say it was shabby, just needs a little TLC to bring it up to standard.[TW]Fox;11255876 said:I think you will regret replacing your minter with a shabby one in the long run

Bodywork wise this one is better, no dents and very little fading. It's just the interior lets this one down a bit, but I can swap bits over between mine and this one if needed.[TW]Fox;11256038 said:I know but your last one was showroom fresh
Mechanically wise, the engine in this feels stronger and the gearbox nice and tight. The clutch is stiffer on this, but should last a while longer.
