    Hi. Yes it is. I purchased the car Not Running and with a WOF that had just run out. Whoever issued the WOF for the car should be stripped of their License Authority.All of the 4 Brake Cylinders were rusted solid and the Master Cylinder was worse. The car apparently drove great??? but definitely not the case. Brakes have been totally gone through. Mechanically the car runs and drives great NOW!! The exceptional thing about this car is the bodywork an is a great buy at this price.Cheers. paul.glasson (665) • Wednesday, 24 September 2025
