SiC Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 What would be the solution to fixing the rear bench? I guess spare benches in the right colour and trim will be difficult - so would need to be off to a retrimmer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 It would be re trimmed. The interior is blue cloth and a few E32s came in blue cloth too. The rear benches do need some tweaking but do fit, I just haven't found a blue E32 rear bench for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 So, I’m having a bit of a clear out. A number of factors but mainly a lack of motivation/interest, no time at all due to work and needing to top up the house refurbishment fund really… If you’re interested in anything let me know and we will see if we can come to some arrangement, there could be a slight bit of movement in the prices. 2002 ‘02’ Vauxhall Omega 2.2 CD Auto - £450MOT: 12 months97k I’ve had this sitting at my lockup for a couple of months now – it’s my dads old one but he replaced it with the MV6 (below) so this became surplus to requirements. I will put a full MOT on this for the buyer. She’s not in bad shape, some dings/marks around the body and bubbling on one of the rear arches. Quite economical for a 2.2, EML intermittently comes on and then goes off, I’ve read the codes in the past and cleared them (can’t remember what they were now) but she drives spot on and it’s nothing which affects MOT emissions or anything as it only needed a backbox and wiper blades last year to go through it’s MOT. NB - it does have a matching set of wheels (all 4 are the same as the front one in this pic - the odd wheel is just because we had a puncture before a long trip) 2001 ‘Y’ Vauxhall Omega 3.2 MV6 Auto - £600MOT: 12 months160k Bought from ColC earlier this year for my dad to replace the above with, but he’s now ended up with the ex-SpottedLaurel LS400 which he much prefers, so I had this back off him. The MOT has lapsed on this one at the end of July so I will throw it in and sell with a fully MOT.This car defies its mileage completely – timing belt was done at 152k, it has a folder of history with it and drives so much better than my 2.6 MV6 which only has 94k on it! Good tyres, it has an Irmscher front grille, finished in petrol blue, the only downside really is the dent in the N/S/R door, which really needs sorting as the car is immaculate otherwise. No rust on any of the arches which is getting rare now. She flies as well PM sent requesting details of the T&C's of the warranty I've got to wrangle out of you before I can convince wifey these would be very very comfortable, reliable and eccommm-comical to run. Off on hols shortly, and they'll be sold before I stop procrastinating, but really want an MV6 in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Any interest in anything else? I need to make back what I've lost on the Vectra + Recovery Fee now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 I did but he pulled out. Would have cost him too much to get back to the IOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hmm, you think that he might have worked that one out fairly quickly. I'll put the word around for you mate. JohnK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Think John might be a bit occupied post-accident at the mo, although I am sure he will get it in as soon as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Update: Montego - Sold and has been collected309 - Deposit taken and going tomorrow eveningJeep - Sold (but not too a shiter) The Omega 2.2 has been in for MOT and failed, currently in the process of resolving that so it can be in for re-test this week. MV6 will be in for test this week too. I could really do with moving the Toledo on if anybody is interested as its just not getting used at all at the moment: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 If for some reason the 309 sale collapses then let me know Good luck with it all mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthbay Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Small Triumphs are gorgeous motors and being tax free it's dirt cheap to run as well. My dolomite cost £51 to insure this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 They are indeed and this Tolly is exceptionally solid in all of the important places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 this Tolly is exceptionally solid in all of the important places. I mis-read that at first as toaly M'coli and purplebargeken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New POD Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Update: MV6 will be in for test this week too. I could really do with moving the MV6 on to New Pod as he's the only idiot to be interested in something that is going to cost him so much in fuel. I've edited that for you. To encourage you with good vibes. I have priced up a single to Middlesbrough, (as Guisborough appears to not have a station). One would involve a train after work on Thursday night, and the other a train before work on Sunday Evening. I am sending multiple random questions to you via pm shortly.
