The pics are very flattering actually. The paintwork is dull and rough to the touch. There is a dent in the front edge of the bonnet, not bad but would need doing.
The leading edge of the bonnet has some surface rust.
You see guys the problem is, I'm in Ireland. Here, it would be difficult to sell a car like this because of the punitive road tax. Approx 800 pounds a year. So few people want a 23-year old car that costs that much to tax.
So if I was to spend maybe 1000 on a respray and fixing the bodywork I'd not make my money back by then selling it. It was the same with my '96 BB4 - it's worth less here than I spent on it.
If someone in the UK wanted to buy it as is, they'd be getting a bargain. A rust-free car of that age, good interior and good engine.
But otherwise I'm afraid I'd only make what I paid for it back if I part it out. I know it's a pity, but thats the way it is.
So - if anyone in the UK wants to buy it right now, as is, taking advantage of the excellent sterling-euro exchange rate, let me know!
Otherwise the parts will be available at some stage, although I'm in no rush.

I didn't have the heart to break it, so it's sold to some nice Lithuanian boys from Dublin who really knew their Preludes!
He's going to do it up, so at least it'll survive for another while.
Since I bought it for the distributor, which has popped on mine, I am now minus a distributor again!

Great to hear it's living on.
I may have a spare distributor, if you're after one.
