      Calvin, have you thought about buying cars from Hong Kong? loads of expats have left and are still leaving, prices are cheap (comapring what you paid for this) and shipping wasn't too bad before Covid, maybe you can find a deal ?

      Car black book values were £6.5k, so car is worth no more than about £3.5k-4k in it's current state. It needs a full body/chassis check, paint work correction & a bloody good service (belts, oil, filters, possibly tyres).
