HillmanImp Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 I bought this fine automobile as I was brassic with Mrs Imp being on maternity leave and as such had no time or money to get the Shaguar through its test. Mrs Imp is finally returning to work soon so I have punted the Jag through its test and this is now surplus to requirements. Top motor, ridiculously fast for what it is and a hoot to drive. It has smartphone connectivity in the form of a tape adapter with a headphone jack so you can listen to whatever banging mp3s you have and you can answer the phone to your mate saying "Whatup nigga" at full volume over the quality* speakers when your mum is in the car if your mates are fucking tools like mine. Rover even future proofed the car by having a handy rubber mat to keep your phone on when driving. Top work. Bit rusty round the edges but nowt that can't be touched up easily enough. As I said on another thread the other day, the clutch pedal has been high all the time I have had it but it doesn't slip or owt and apparently they are often like this. I have only replaced the front exhaust pipe during my tenure as it was absolutely fooked when I got it, other than that its not needed owt in the several hundred miles I have done in it. I paid £200 for it and would like that back if possible. Its got test till October and get you home tax till the end of the month. My insurance runs out on the 14th so you will need your own proper cover to get home after that, no third party shizzle. Car is located in Bradford/Leeds. Here are a couple of photos I took today: I am expecting absolutely no interest in this as there was loads last time when I bought it, so obviously when I try and move it on it will be like selling a copy of the Sun in Liverpool but here you go. A piece of Autoshite history for the price of 2hrs with a below average looking prostitute. https://www.adultwork.com/ViewProfile.asp?UserID=3315815&Keywords=&KeySearch=1&TargetURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eadultwork%2Ecom%2FSearch%2Easp%3FRefreshVar%3D06%252F05%252F2016%2B21%253A40%253A14%26strTown%3D%26dteMeetDate%3D%26intMiles%3D%26intMilesUSA%3D%26intMeetPrice%3D%26cboBookingCurrencyID%3D28%26intOvernightRateFrom%3D%26intOvernightRateTo%3D%26strSelZipCode%3D%26CommandID%3D1%26intAgeFrom%3D%26intAgeTo%3D%26DF%3D1%26rdoNationalityInclude%3D1%26rdoKeySearch%3D1%26strPostCodeArea%3D%26SearchTab%3DProfile%26cboCountryID%3D158%26cboCountyID%3D0%26cboAPID%3D0%26rdoRatings%3D0%26cboLastUpdated%3D01%252F01%252F2003%26cboLastLoginSince%3DX%26strSelPostCode%3D%26HotListSearch%3D0%26strKeywords%3D%26intHalfHourRateFrom%3D%26intHalfHourRateTo%3D%26dteAvailableAnotherDay%3D%26hdteToday%3D06%252F05%252F2016%26cbxVeriPhotoUploaded%3DON%26cbxPictures%3DON%26rdoOrderBy%3D1%26intMeetDuration%3D%26cbxGenderID%3D2%26cboNationalityID%3D0%26cboSCID%3D0%26intHourlyRateFrom%3D%26intHourlyRateTo%3D%26intHotListID%3D0%26PageNo%3D1%26SS%3D0%26cboRegionID%3D7%26question_69%3D%26question_70%3D%26question_2%3D%26question_3%3D%26question_57%3D%26question_27%3D%26question_42%3D%26strSelUsername%3D%26dteMeetTime%3DX&NavUserIDs=3354580x3354602x3524942x3409455x3073147x3384779x1631975x3315815x2813968x3264346x3308606x3471096x3426382x3129205x3291542x3294553x3264830x3455650x2773189x3506610x2391955x616668x3326747x3209381x2488103x2901372x754102x876061x2519095x2561302x3344978x3013766x2676498x3006901x1996510x3459654x3512380x2734836x3512406x3448505x3155706x3069542x3304246x3329138x3440321x1933407x3226165x358842x3474406x1271976 I will roffle it if people are interested at £3.50 a ticket whatever works as I need it gone as want to move the Visa over here as soon as possible.

M'coli Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Remember that pint you said you owe me re: the Saab sale...? Let me check with the insurance tomorrow...
RobT Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I'm feeling all nostalgic and wondering whether I should have another go. It really is a cracking car although I did find the high biting clutch a sod around town, fine on a run though. Angrydicky 1
17-Coffees Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 My dad used to have a white one just like this when I was a kid. Then some old codger rear ended it while it was parked outside the house...Always liked that car and would love an R8 200! Sadly, space is an issue otherwise i'd be all over this!
skattrd Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Is this the one with the "B0ll0x" plate on the engine or something?
HillmanImp Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 Is this the one with the "B0ll0x" plate on the engine or something?Yeah, although the plate isn't on the engine its on the dash. You can see it in the photo with the phone above.
Tickman Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 I'll have three tickets if it goes that far, I may have all the numbers if a possible interested party responds in time!
2MB Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Gr9 for Highland B road blasts..,,image.jpgLovely car, IIRC the clutch was like that when I had it too.Where is this please?Bargain rover btw
JohnK Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 This car is ace. Little bit of tidying up and she will soldier on for ages.
HMC Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Yeah, although the plate isn't on the engine its on the dash. You can see it in the photo with the phone above.I had it made up and stuck it on the engine in recognition of mr b's services to british engineering. RobT, Sigmund Fraud, skattrd and 1 other 4

Mr_Bo11ox Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Is this car the record holder for 'AS bike on which the highest number of shiters have had a go?' Its a super rare car now anyway, I have not seen another on Ebay for months and months.
RobT Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Is this car the record holder for 'AS bike on which the highest number of shiters have had a go?'Its a super rare car now anyway, I have not seen another on Ebay for months and months.I'm probably wrong, but this runs at eight shiters, with the BX of many at nine. Wasn't there a Saab 900 that got punted around loads too?
M'coli Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Yeah, but that Saab is long gone, as far as I'm aware the only thing left of it is the pliers from the toolkit.
phil_lihp Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 Take it away, I don't want it. No. Not a third time. Please, I'm serious. Two lucky dips then. Skizzer 1
