HMC Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 This is now up for sale (to make way for a k11 micra!) Its a 1996 carina e 1.8 manual. It's a pretty tidy car, a little bit of lacquer peel and stone chipping here and there, wear on the drivers seat bolster. Drives well, nice light clutch, gearchange and brakes. There's occasionally a slight hesitation at around 2500 revs which is barely noticeable when it happens. Also the front electric windows are sticking. A decent reliable motor, but one too many for me at the moment. Shiters price £150. 3/4 of a tank of fuel at the mo and tyres all have good tread. MOT to Feb 2018Located Tavistock, Devon Lord Sterling, trigger, Jim Bell and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Bloody hell, I've always wanted one if these. Used to hang about with a mate who's parents had an early Carina e (K-reg I seem to recall). I've no space or money, leaky Rover Sterling wi' KV6 any good? Thort not. Ah well, good luck with sale.

dollywobbler Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hey, let me march in with a completely unhelpful post too! Because that's an outright barg, and naturally I would, but another Japanese/British hybrid is currently eating all of my money. I predict someone will stump up the readies soon enough.

wuvvum Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Another HMC megabarg. I've got one of these (also P reg with a plate ending in PB so might even have come from the same dealer) - they're incongruously good on fuel for a big old petrol barge, I get 45mpg out of mine on a run.

HMC Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 For some reason the fuel filler flap has fallen off this yesterday the cap is still in place, and it seems easy enough to reattach the flap when I get time. True to form, this is the extent of its unreliability. Also comes with original Toyota radio cassette for all your 90s tapes to relive the glory days of the ultimate minicab.

HMC Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Bump for a price drop! Now £150 to a shiter. Also includes a magnetic "taxi" sign for the roof.

BorniteIdentity Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 WOAH. I'm still trying to persuade my insurer to put this on a classic policy. I have one running for a car I sold last week, and am hoping for a call back tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
