lupo1.0se Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Nice. The only thing with copart it takes 6 weeks to register AND you need to bring identification - including utility bill!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TArosa Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Still not a bad buy if it goes cheap (inc auction costs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupo1.0se Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Another problem is it is a x reg so you will have to pay £135 tax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazy Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Went to have a look at this last weekend when I was down in the area, and apart from needing to repair the rear bumper, and a new front one (which I have), it would need quite a bit of TLC to getting back to it's best. Quite a few dints, but nothing a good respray wouldn't fix.Was actually looking at it to break quite honestly (and repair/stick the best bits onto mine).

Hazy Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Well, it's not past saving obviously, but there's the obvious O/S rear arch scrape towards the sill, and there's another big dint on the N/S rear arch -think the rear bumper took the brunt of that though. And you can't really see it clearly in the photo, but there's a scrape on the N/S front wing coming off the front bumper. Those and a few dints you can't really see in the photos. Bonnet is fine, as is the rear boot lid, apart from needing a new badge.Like I say, good TLC would sort it. Think it's only Cat C because of the hassle getting replacement parts. Engine and running gear looked sound. Edited February 28, 2013 by Hazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazy Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 My decision to break it, should I of gotten it cheap, was purely down the lines of transferring the 3L bits to my car (same colour, natch), and keeping the engine for a future engine swap into it. Either that or have two green Lupos sitting on the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Lupo Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Was gonan try and get this but not worth it now its 600 quid lol Edited February 28, 2013 by Sammy Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Considering the effort required to get a 3L, I don't think it's too expensive right now.However, I can't bid because I only registered last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazy Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 There's still the live auction to come after 12pm, so chances it'll go for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I'm in contact with someone over a 3L. I really love it, it's in neat condition too, but he wants over 4k I just dont think I can afford that.

fattasss Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 wrong colour for a 3L...I have a silver 1 already, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mdo227 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 As a danish guy, i don't understand the fuss about the 3L, you're uncommon if you have a non 3L here in denmark, they are everywere i tell you! the wierd point is tho, that body panels like bumpers, doors and bonnets etc. are hard to find even here in denmark, so it sometime's easier to buy a 3L and get the panels from it, then sell the rest in parts. if you don't mind having a LHD 3L (or just want it for parts) you should check out danish car sites (or pm me if you're confused haha!)
