purplebargeken Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Yes, folks...... it is with much sadness and internal angst that I am putting the Jellymould of whiteness up for sale. It is a potentially lovely, lovely car and is a bit of a rarity to see such a beastie on the roads now. Besides, I am at the point (suitable dates willing) that I am almost at the end of my realistic mythical car having bucket list. Feels a bit weird that does, but after around 330 cars, it is finally approaching. I just need an Alfa really. A mid 70's Simca 1000 is NOT going to happen lol. Anyway, back to the car. There is another thread somewhere that highlight it in more detail. If someone could oblige with the link thing I would be grateful as my tech ability waxes and wanes. The car is a good 'un. It drove all the way from John's place to that there London with a hiccup. It does need some bits sorting and this list is from memory, so here goes: N/S headlight adjustingPossible TRE O/SThe cam belt cover needs adjusting and tighteningThe time telling clock doesn't work, no idea why.Drivers door lock needs sortingThe headlining is a little droopy in placesIt has some rusty blobs here and there and a bit of paint touch up here and there too. The rear O/S wheel arch needs a very minor repair and paint.The N/S front wing needs a rust hole repair. Oh, it needs an aerial to make the noise come out from the fancy quad speaker system and original radio. The paintwork is dull on one half of the car but very shiny on the other. I will continue to make it all shiny as it was flatter than a witches tit. It starts, runs and does all the right things. Just that clunk from the front at times. Price: what I paid for it which would be £875. Location: Enfield/Edmonton. Very close to the A10/M25 J25. Swaps considered, manual or auto. I may have an unknown bucket list car to consider, you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Oooh, this is bloody lovely. I promised myself this car back when Ken first bought it (cos I knew he wouldn't keep it long) but I'm now on a self-imposed car buying ban until I get on top of all the work my current fleet need. Ah well, hope it goes to a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Glws Ken, that's a lovely car and cheap for what it is. I'd really love it myself but I'll play the lack of space card, that and I'm just starting an epic (with an epic bill at the end!) resto of my Capri.

trigger Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Thinking of excuses why I shouldn't buy it... andrew e 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I'm still struggling... Just a shame it's a auto though but I've been eyeing this up since Laser owned it. I haven't really got room for it but I'm thinking of selling the Seat on as it's too quick, this sounds pathetic but it's bringing out the worse of my driving and I'm going to get a ticket soon if I'm not careful so this could make a interesting summer runabout...

I'd have one any day over the manual versions. Same box as my Granada and it's a good box, nice and smooth.It might fit in with your driving too, not so fast or 'sporty' more easy going and relaxed to drive. Just bung in D and gently waft along! trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Yeah, go on Trig. A nice relaxing auto is just what you need now you're a Dad - if Nancy is giving you sleepless nights just take her out for a waft in this to lull her to sleep. Fair justification for another purchase I'd say. trigger and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 You lot are bad eggs! I'm having a think about it, personally it's a little too much for me at the moment pricewise and i haven't got the time to view it for a few weeks so if anyone else wants it then go for it!

MarvinsMom Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 those mark 1 sierra's came from Dagenham, so they are so very much full of win, what more excuse is needed? only longbridge, solihul or browns lane Coventry can come close to trumping dagenham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisbon_road Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Most high spec Mk1s were made in Gent, and (sorry to say) were much better than the Dagenham Sierras. I can't remember the prefixes on the VIN plates but someone will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisbon_road Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Got it, WFO is Ford Germany and the preffix for all Gent made Sierras. SFA is Ford UK and applies to all Dagenham made cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I've got a wheelie bin so full of want for this, the lid won't close and the council probably won't collect it. I will therefore be left with all my WANT forever.Every time I see that interior, my trousers get a bit tighter. Weird. those mark 1 sierra's came from Dagenham, so they are so very much full of win, what more excuse is needed? only longbridge, solihul or browns lane Coventry can come close to trumping dagenham The same Longbridge where they built BL cars? I guess "full of win" could mean "winning the award for most industrial disputes per year", yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skattrd Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Autos are gr9 for everyday cars. I'm a massive convert now and have mainly autos on the road at present. So get it bought Trig and have a lazy auto for a change. trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
