I have a car I am interested in buying. I was wondering if any forum members would be willing to check the car over with me as their experience would be able to spot potential problems long before I would. The car is near Newport.

I've been speaking to Racecraft via PM as the car he's interested in is one I very nearly bought myself. The car is advertised on www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk

The car is located in Newport South Wales

if anyone is willing to look over the car with me in Newport S Wales, it will be greatly appreciated. I will get in touch with those who said they may be able to.

Hi,

I pass through Newport most weekends, as I work in Bath and live in Swansea - Could drop in for you?

I saw in A friends Autotrader (midlands) a yellow 914 1.8 for sale 1973 for £6900 -copy reads that it is very original but says nothing about condition. The car is over in Wales/Telford way but not being a local this is only a guess. The number is 01824 703239
