Welcome 8)


I think you'll struggle to get a sorted one for any less than £4250 these days :wink:
You'd be wise to save a bit, before taking the plunge as a ropey one will probably end up costing a hell of a lot more to get right .
Engine wise most should be OK but the body ,running gear etc will be wanting for under 3k I suspect .
Search the threads for the full SP , this subject has been gone over countless times ,also have a read of this

If it's G430 BLN I have a feeling that one is recorded CAT C

Might be worth a cheap online HPI to check.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem as I think it was repaired well, but you need to know and it gives bargaining power!

Also get a few insurance quotes (search on here for brokers/companies!). You may find they want 3k for a 22 year old..

A mile before you get to Castle Coombe there is a village called Tiddleywink, who only knows how exciting a Friday night in the pub is there.
