They don't rot when they gets a little intelligent TLC, she'll be great and a weeks pay?? worth it in anyones money

A week's pay ????

Depends how much you earn I suppose - not a footballer are you ?

im no footballer,i may look like a football but earn an average wage,it was very cheap,so cheap i even had money left over to feed the kids.lmao

A superb buy then. It's amazing how much you can save if you are prepared to put in some elbow grease yourself.

yes i agree? its got me confused to? not a single scratch???? both cases on the engine have been changed too so it has been down the road both sides (see exhaust)and the gen cover has been opened with an axe and large blunt object.....mmmm ? upright crashing... is there such a thing..maybe he got stuck between two cars in london?

Looks like you got yourself a bargain grin machine there. As long as she starts when you want, stops when you want, and goes where you want, the pretty stuff can wait, (unless you don't really HAVE to feed the kids) worth considering !!

Is the engine black or are the pics deceiving?? Can't say i've seen a rap with a black engine

oh didnt you know?


Enjoy & drive safe

Sorry. I meant that as it's a Suzuki engine it is guaranteed to rot within days of seeing a cloud pass before the sun.
Suzuki make some superb engines but they aim to be cheap and it shows cosmetically.
