Hi All,

I currently own (or will when I pass my test) a '78 Spit 1500 and I would like a Dolly, preferably tax exempt so '72-74, for practicality reasons. If you have a Dolly that you are selling or know anyone who is could you please tell me as I am struggling to find one in my area within my price range. Hoping to spend less than £1000 so not looking for concourse condition, something I can improve and add my own touch to. If it's road legal, I want to know about it.  :P ;)

Thanks
Joe.

there is a good little toledo for sale in the classifieds. Good value little car and will be insurance friendly.
The one downside is it is not tax exempt....

Thanks guys. I have been looking at a tax exempt Toledo and insurance doesn't really bother me because I can put a Dolly 1500 on the same as my Spit for only £60 extra.

My Toledo isn't tax-exempt (yet) but if you buy it I will put a years tax on her at my expense.

I'm sure we can find a way to lower that and with a Tolly the insurance should be less than that.

I was hoping for £1000 but the bidding on eBay only went to £631. I reckon she's a bargain @ £1000 (I paid £1100 2 years ago) but if you want to make me an offer around £750, that would make a deal.

I want Daisy to go to a good home and I want to encourage younger people to have an interest in proper cars.

Let me know if you want to see her. I'm about 5 minutes drive from M25 J20.
