Brodders Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Forget convertibles. Sods law dictates that as soon as you buy one it shall rain like a proper English summer should. This is cheap with a few hours to go, has MOT, apparently runs well, is located in East Anglia and is being sold by someone with an eBay username you can trust. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-416-SLI-/362022581213?hash=item544a3a33dd:g:2eUAAOSwRXRZU5lh Hell, it even got a sunroof which will allow you to enjoy the grey skies above without actually having to deal with the rain (unless the sunroof leaks) flat4alfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 That bubble 121 has sold already - not surprised at that price!! I might be persuaded to let my F go for 400 quid - I'm going to lose money on it whatever happens. It's got more test than that one in Hitchin, and the heater fan works on all the speeds. His does have the advantage (one assumes) of a working fuel gauge however. Eddie Honda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewaster Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I appreciate the man maths, but with my sensible hat on, why buy something you don't want (if you wanted it, you would know what it is) and at a price that is bound to need time and or money spent on? *Goes outside to burn the sensible hat* egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Look, if you're really brave, buy any cheap 3-door hatch with some test left, weld some scaffold bars across behind the seats and maybe triangulated down to the front inner arches, then lop the roof off. Paint yellow/matt black to taste, bomb around in it for as long as you can stay under the radar. This is on my "to do" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Above budget, not that close (but not that far) and looks good, nearly a year's MoT.

I'm not in the business of ripping off chums, but I've got to keep the Sierra in mind. Otherwise it's always going to be 2 steps forward, 2 steps back. There's a lovely Morello one on eBay but it's big miles and a touch sharp on price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 I did think about buying another broken 306 can for £300 and taking the roof out or modifying it for manual operation. But there are too many cars to try. There's a guy selling a MK5 Escort cabriolet on Facebook. It's about as Autoshite as it gets. Another shitty old Ford is exactly what I don't need, so I'm probably just going to buy it blind and have it delivered. (!)
