    Gauging interest...

    As per my previous thread, I have a 1L V-reg K11 that was sadly written off a few months ago. Have kept hold of it wanting to get it back on the road but not having a lot of luck with finances. Shes just too good to scrap. Looking to sell the car as a whole, but may break if enough...
