BorniteIdentity Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Truth is, I need to free up some space. I've got this Audi 80 coming and have just bought a 190 with sexy red interior.This is a cracker - no BS.MOT until June 2018. It had 2 advisories - 1 trivial and the other fixed. L576 ABJ for details.1.8 Automatic. It has the super reliable 4 speed box which is smooth AF.Everything, by and large, works. The fuel needle reads empty for the first 10 litres after which it's never an issue.Tyres probably have 5mm all around.Even the air con works!It runs and drives perfectly. I bought this when I thought my Avensis was on its way out. However, I underestimated just how attached both my wife and I are to the Toyota - so it stays. Probably indefinitely. I've done 2000 miles in it up and down the A1 and it's bob on.You want to make it perfect?There's a small hole in the ns door mirror.The paint is a little thin in placesSomeone bought the wrong green and a part of the rear os quarter is slightly the wrong shade of malachite. In 249 malachit grün with the gingercators and flying saucer trims, it really does look like a facelifted 190. These are very similar to their predecessor (you can compare and contrast with both of my cars if you wish) oldcars, alf892, Lacquer Peel and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Those trims and that colour make it look like a W140 S Class that's parked a bit further away.For that reason I'd like number 14 please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Probably too dear at even £10 because Christmas and other raffles running. It’s a shame, as it is a good one. Just one MOT fail in 12 years which was on ball joints. I would really like another Raver 75; I keep going back to them - which means they’re probably what I ought to have. In the meantime this is for sale/swap or raffle should that gain momentum. Thanks for everyone’s interest nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with this anyway. It does look very nice, however I think you are right with what you are saying about Christmas and the number of other roffles at the moment. Nonetheless, please accept this as a free bump. BorniteIdentity and purplebargeken 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Where is the car, where are you? I can't understand why, given the number of cars bought and sold on here, location isn't compusory.Even if just to county, nearest town etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Sorry, Barefoot. That’s my bad entirely - and should have been clearer. I’m between Cambridge and St Neots. A1 and A14 are both 10 minutes away and the East Coast Mainline is easy from almost anywhere. Happy to collect /anyone from station. I’m using it daily atm and have done 500 miles this week alone. No hassles or issues to mention at all. Heater is the hottest I’ve got in the fleet. If it sells that’s great. I’ve got a replacement or two pencilled in. barefoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveDorson Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I really want to rationalise my fleet down. But I keep looking at this with a huge want. Unfortunately, it's green, and my Mrs hates green cars. My Mrs also moans about everything so meh. It's also not a Jag XJ. I know all of that is very unhelpful, but best of luck with the sale. And it's a nice part of the world where you are. I've got family in St Neots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Aye, it’s nice here. The village we live in is actually a bit too stuffy at times; especially if you like interfering with disappointing motor cars. I don’t see this car selling at anything over £300 tbh. I gave the lad more than that and have spent about £400 on it but that’s life. I’ll probably just keep smoking it cheaps until MOT time then take a view.

BorniteIdentity Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Now on eBay as the 190 has arrived. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F122902304411 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesapandre Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Good luck. That's a nice colour. That non-classic Merc prices are so low is good and bad. My 260E 1990 was £22,100 new. That was the price of a small house then. All these are crazy cheap now. Buy now while stocks last - older Mercs are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
