purplebargeken Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 and replied to. Looks like the Tolly will be finding a new home very shortly. Will try again to take piccies of the AX if anyone has interest. Thanks again for the support everyone. Bren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Piccies of the AX taken. I cleaned off the dust and realised that the colour is not actually dark blue but a metallic blue similar to the Montego colour. I also found out that I need not have bought the indicator lens as it has a full compliment lol. The interior on this car is absolutely stunningly good. It's actually better than the Hyundai. Mint would be a fair word to use. It is such a lovely little car. It has a couple of very small dings here and there and the odd rust bleb but given it's year, not a bloody lot wrong with it. I couldn't start it as the key was not in the car as I had asked the barn owners, they had gone out for the day typically. Note left! Piccies hortly.

garbaldy Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Sorry to hear your not in good health and I hope you're clear out goes better than mine,I take it your not selling the Sierra then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Clears outs are easy and hassle free*. Sadly the Sierra has gone too, went to a good mate of mine in Cov as his birthday present from his family. He is reliving his youth by blezzing around in a white Sierra. Mostly succeeding too. oldcars and BorniteIdentity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecapriman Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Sorry to hear of your troubles Ken. It sucks that you need to sell off some of your stuff, but best of luck with the sales. Are you definitely keeping the Amazon then? You've got to at least keep one of the oldies! eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Cheers mate, it does suck like a big sucky thing but at least others will carry on with the cars. The Amazon will be staying, after all it was my slightly early 50th birthday pressie. danthecapriman and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoGently Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 There must be a cause for your health woes. Has your Doc had you up on the ramp check for seized ball joints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Ball joints were fucked, head gasket leaking and sill rusty as hell lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvinsMom Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 There must be a cause for your health woes. Has your Doc had you up on the ramp check for seized ball joints? i'd be more concerned about the doc wanting to test Ken's "emissions" with the exhaust gas probe thing! eddyramrod, purplebargeken, oldcars and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rml2345 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Piccies of the AX taken. I cleaned off the dust and realised that the colour is not actually dark blue but a metallic blue similar to the Montego colour. I also found out that I need not have bought the indicator lens as it has a full compliment lol.I had wondered about that, it had a full set when we left Scotland lol.Sorry to hear about your health situation though Ken, hope they can give you some quality of life back soon. Can vouch for Mr. PBK as a top bloke to deal with and the AX is a fine wee motor that never let me down. And the inner front wings are STEEL which is pretty rare on an AX nowadays. dome, eddyramrod and purplebargeken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Cheers mate. I can second the steel content. I think I spied an old piccie that might have shown the N/S indicator missing, hence my buyage. Still, a spare set is always* useful. I was very impressed when I sat in the car today, such a nice place to be sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 The moment that you have all been waiting* for! AX piccies! Has a tad over 55,000 miles on the clock. Seats are French squishy and very comfy. The switchgear feels sturdy and all works happily. The sun roof winds open and has no signs of past leakage. The rear windows open on a latch type thingy. The horn is bloody loud, much louder than the wet meep emitted by the i10. Full compliment of front indicators.

BorniteIdentity Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm going to suggest something radical - and perhaps at odds with the general ethos of the forum. What I'd say to that is: not only do our differences unite us, but they also make us stronger. But. That AX will sell in seconds if you put it up elsewhere. The colour is lovely, it's a little charmer. If you need help then I'm sure one of us will deal with the idiots for you and filter them out? I'm not that far from you PBK. Good luck. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 To be fair though, it won't sell in seconds without an MoT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 This is a fair point. I may try and get that sorted at pay day. It is a little beauty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcars Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Sorry to hear your health is not great. Have you tried a WD40 bath? My grandfather used to say it fixed everything. The AX is a lovley clean wee car, rare in that condition now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
