Default FREE Favorit offered to anyone who can use it

Free to good home - due to a bereavement I now have too many cars, too much to do and not enough time

Car stored in Sheffield

Carribean Green
Solid(ish) bodywork - 1 welded patch above one front strut mount
Poor door seals (slight whistle driving on m-way)
Sunroof not sealing closed properly - minor rather than major leak
Needs attenton to one or both driveshafts
Brand New 3-piece Clutch - not done more than about 300 miles
Needs new water pump/engine mount as rubber mount perished. Also, due to fitting wrong pump then having to re-fit old one, missed a bit of gasket so sealed with hylomar blue & radweld - will need mating surface cleaning thoroughly
New middle exhaust box - fitted roaadside in rain so may need loosening & positional adjustment
Brake pipes look like they need attention
Recently fitted used engine of unknown mileage (sourced from breaker, from a carb model)

Meant to do work to the car but due to unfortunate family circumstance, not got things finished, had to bodge a couple of things, drive to work,sorn and just leave there

Guessing that repair at a garage would take £300 or more (far less for the DIY mechanic) since it is now out of tax and SORN, and hence would have to take to garage for further work, after which car is only worth the cost of repair.

So better to offer it to someone who can make use of it.

Enquiries by Private Mesage only please. I'm very busy with other things right now so may take a while to respond.

It's not a bad bus - I had every intention of doing the work and running it as a daily driver but circumstances changed unfortunately

APOLOGIES IF THIS BREAKS FORUM "FOR SALE" RULES BUT I DON'T WISH TO CONTRIBUTE £12 IN ORDER TO GIVE AWAY A CAR TO ANYONE WHO COULD MAKE USE OF IT FOR FREE

I'd rather give it away on a skoda site than freecycle it for any old **** to ram-raid primark in

Exceptions have been made in the past, and hopefully can be again in these circumstances.

Hope you find a good home for it
