Seems just what i'm looking for, dump the engine... etc etc etc
But at £6995, a tad over priced? (like £2k?)

Looked of? Oh typo, looked OK!
It's not worth that money though, assuming in good order and a good build, with that enginei'd have thought £5k max?

i wouldn't touch a college built car for any more than the cost of the kit + maybe 30%.
of the ones i've seen, they're rough, and more often than not, have had more things altered and fixed than i care to think about.
if that's worth £7k, mine must be worth 10, and i know mines probably not even worth 7k.
i'd want to see a lot more photos!

Thats what I thought, but it'd be a start if it's not too bad, and apparently it's been there for ages, and what with winter just
about upon us I bet they can't wait to get rid of it!

Unless the dealer is doing the college a favour he will want rid this time of year,its not exactly seasonal stock this time of year so it should sell
at a bargain price.
If 2 litre pinto indy's stuggle at 5/6K in the summer then i would think a 1.6 in the winter would have to go nearer 4.5K if not less.
good luck and keep us posted as to how you get on

The Indy was built with 3 others they was built with no electrics as in lighting was never built for sva. I went to see them at the collage they was
built to a good standard i do know the lecturure who built them i had the otion of buying them last year may have been year before one went to wales i
believe one is still in Boston think Mick Wakefield (Wakefield autos) had one if not 2.I do have a contact with the garage that is selling this one
will see if he can tell me any history.
