Opinions on possible buy pls!
Hi guys.
looking for a striker at the moment but funds are very limited.
I've seen this on pistonheads, looks fairly promising, have spoken to the guy who sounds like he knows what he's talking about and has
done a fair bit on it.
Just wanted some general opinions if you'd be kind enough!
The car's many moons away from me, so if i were to buy it, i'd probably be doing so without actually seeing any of it first (car
transport).

Thanks for the help.

Where's it located? Maybe someone on here that's local can have a look at it for you for some peace of mind?

i think he's just round the corner from you in harrogate.
If you were able to have a butchers i'd be very grateful, if you fancy sticking it on a trailer and bring it down for me that'd be even
better!

I'll try, send me his contact details and I'll pop round to have a shifty, could always go for a pint to discuss when I'm down in
Crawley!
Thankfully I don't own a trailor! I could always pick you up Thursday afternoon to go back up north. Should only take you about 5 hours to
drive it back 
Btw, I won't take responsibility if it turns out to be a proper peice of poo!!!

Yeh, just texted him, not had a reply yet though.
My offer of picking you up was serious, maybe a travel lodge Thursday night and drive it back the following Friday???
Offers there mate.

Rich you're a good man!
Just spoken to John and he said he'll let me know if anyone else contacts him to have look, otherwise i've told him that if you send good
reports back to me then i'll be calling him to make a deal....!

Looks like a very cheap Striker, but of course you are going to have to pay to get it through the IVA test if you want to use it on the road.

That's what I said about the ex-track but road registered Striker I bought. Very, very wrong in my case
