New Car....
Hello all  I'm picking up my 1998 'R' reg saxo VTR on saturday. It's done 80k from new with FSH and a lady owner that has had it for the past 10 years. Runs spot on and comes with 12 months mot, can't complain!

Clutch, gearbox and engine seem tip top, it's been serviced every 5k or so with receipts/stamps to back up etc. Axle seems fine, slight rust under bonnet but very very minor, hardly noticeable tbh!

Inner wing under ECU tray is rotten, as is underside of boot floor!
Probably, so many mk1s are.
