This car has only done very low yearly mileage since being built. Less than 1,000 miles per summer season.
Has never let me down. Obviously not perfect as one would expect at this age. One or two slight marks on body, but still a nice looking tidy car.
Perfect for anyone who wants a cheap on the road car without the hassle of building one. With a few spares i.e. gearbox and other bits and bobs.
Reluctant Sale Good price £4,750 or very near offer.
bump to the top as its the weekend
Bump to the top 
jacko
Weekend bump O yes please 
bump
perhaps you are destined to drive it for another glorious british summer
(and a free bump)
Hi, can you tell me the seat and cab width dimensions please. How much adjustment is there in the seat runners?
Need to know as I can't find any info on MK's site and want to see if I'd fit in it.
Thanks,
Simon.
Hi Simon sorry for the long wait I have only just seen your post tonight. If you give me an idea of how tall you are and what build you are I can get
an idea as to whether you will fit in my car. The drivers seat is fixed but on runners and can be changed to adjustable and a few of my mates are
quite tall and fit in MK's. I am 5' 8" tall and quite a big build 14 stoneish my son is 6' 2" and fits. The seat width is
approx 15" and the between the outside wall of the car and the prop shaft tunnel is 17". From the bottom of the steering wheel to the
backrest of the seat is 25". Where do you live? If not too far away you could come and try see if you fit and have a ride. Graham
I'm 6'4" and about 16 stone although this would be the best reason to diet ever. Wouldn't be possible to come and just look as I
live in north Devon. I'll take your measurements and compare them to my friends Westfield seight which I know I fit in and get back to you.
Thanks,
Simon.

Hi I am interested in your mk, on pistonheads you say the diff is noisy, is it shot, what axle do you use on these so I have an idea to replace. do
you see any issue with passing test this time. Also if I made an acceptable offer with a deposit would you be ok till next weekend for collection
cheers simon
Hi Simon Graham isn't in yet if you would like to U2U him your phone number I will get him to ring you. Kathryn (his wife)
Hi this is Graham, I have just got in the rear diff is a sierra 7" which is the most commonly used on MK's. Any sierra 7" diff will fit
it. If I was keeping the car I would have changed it but it runs perfectly well as it is. It's just a bit noisy. I have no doubt that the car
will pass its MOT it has every time for the last 7 years without anything needing to be done. Could you give me an idea as to where you are from? If
we agree a price I don't have a problem with taking a deposit and keeping it for you. If you don't know how to U2U look in my profile and
you will find my e mail address. You can get in touch that way if you want to speak more privately. Graham p.s. I am going out at 6.30 so will speak
tomorrow if I don't hear from you before then.

Just said goodbye to my beautiful MK Indy. Just going to cry into my beer!
Just sold it to two great blokes who are going to share it and get the use out of it that I didn't. They tell me they are going to do the
Nuremberg Ring next month. They tell me they will be joining the locost forum shortly so lookout for them. Graham (in tears).
