ruffgeezer Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Model: 306 ConvertibleYear: 1998Mileage: 70,000MOT: March 2017Location: Spilsby, S.LincsPrice: £900 onoContact details: Via Pm pleaseBought July last year with little history and a broken roof from a suburb of Leicester.I replaced the cambelt, waterpump, front springs (it had 206 lowering springs fitted), front shocks and replaced the burst roof hoses with some braided ones from HEL Performance.The electric roof now works as it should but could be adjusted to sit a little more snugly to the decklid.It's got a set of matching budget tyres in reasonable nick, a full black leather interior, 2 keys but sadly more than an average amount of parking dents, it spent a lot of it's earlier life in the carpark of Leicester hospital where these were gained.Engine wise, it is the 2.0 16v and it goes very well indeed, there is a slight rattle from the exhaust and the clutch action is quite stiff.I've been neglecting my Ax Vts since I bought this, and the kids aren't too keen at going anywhere with the roof open so it's a bit of a white elephant really.Might P/ex, try me?Happy to collect purchasers from either Lincoln or Boston railway station. strangeangel and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffgeezer Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 New pics. Just to re-iterate, it's not immaculate by any stretch of the imagination, but it's had a lot of graft put into sorting a lot of the standard cabrio faults. dugong, Skizzer, eddyramrod and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardK Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 These are great - great handling for a ragtop, really pleasant and practical. Much nostalgia here seeing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeangel Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I was tempted but that'd mean getting rid of the CJ, and I can't see that happening anytime soon. Nice car, hope it finds a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffgeezer Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 I'd settle on a bad home at the moment, I've so much going on I could do without this one hanging around like un unwelcome bogey on a fingernail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Dang. I like these a lot, and this one looks very much like one I could happily live with. But that isn't very helpful, is it? Very sorry i can't wave money at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castros_bro Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Nice colour. A 306 cab is on my summer bucket list of 3 cars so I'd love to own this (vis The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan) but nowhere have I any cash hidden. Could do £200 and an MOT'd GPZ 500s ? Otherwise GLWTS and hope someone with the right attitude gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilko220 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I don't have room for this sadly - but if it's any help to anyone, I can thoroughly recommend ruffgeezer as a top banana bloke to buy a motor off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hmm so far I've had an offer of a 206 1.4hdi with 120k on the clock, with presumably money his way. Anyone got anything else to offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Stoppit stoppit stoppit! I want this and can't have it, damn you. At least not yet. The position may change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks, I feel a little left out as I've yet to be offered a trade for a citroen ax or a bassoon or anything else come to that. Perhaps I should put the price up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Ok I could really do with this going now, ideally with a cheapish p/ex £2-300 worth perhaps? Clutch has gone on the truck and I could do with a more sensible runner for daily duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 You can feel the scuttle shake no doubt about it. It does handle nicely but not as well as it's tin top counter part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Whoa there............... Don't be feeling left out, I have a lovely little blue AX. Did I mention this? Hah! Thought you'd escaped! Tamworthbay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Are these less floppy than a Saab 9-3 convertible? A jelly is less floppy than a Saab 9-3 Convertible. They are fun to drive, mainly because you never quite know which direction it's going to point in next. Or whether it's the same direction the other end of the car is pointing. Problem solved by just going fast with the roof down and ignoring it. I still liked mine, I know you weren't exactly keen! chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffgeezer Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Whoa there............... Don't be feeling left out, I have a lovely little blue AX. Did I mention this? Hah! Thought you'd escaped! Sorry to have missed you at the weekend, Ken. Although I think I might have possibly sat with you on the train, did you have a conversation with Will about running cars on veg? Anyway, has the ax got any ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 You possibly did then if you heard the veg chat I was trying to fathom out how Will produces such luscious fluids. He explain it all very well indeed. Name badges a must for next time! The AX can indeed have an MOT if required. It is a sweet little thing.
