sharley17194 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Ok so here we have our much loved 306 HDI, was purchased back in 2016 to do a top gear style banger rally round Scotland, it was bought with another one which died on the trip but the HDI survived. Weve owned it two years and it just keeps going we have completed 18k miles in it so far . I've just completed a trip round Norfolk at 500 miles (over the aug bh weekend) and my brother will be taking it to Taunton over this weekend which will be another 360 miles. So why are we selling? its insurance is up on 13th September and its time to move on it, on its mot'd till later October and would be ideal for someone wanting to complete a banger style rally for charity. If im honest it will probably go through another mot as its not broken just reached end of its road with us. It really needs a tyre on the front but theres one in the boot. Its probably povo spec but have central locking electric windows and a rev counter. I've been given a scrap value price of £150 by Megavaux so thats the price. it is what it is really, its got battle scars (rear corner was shoved in when we got it so it its been pulled out and filled badly) but its alot of good memories and its been nothing but faithful. Id love to see it go on to run one last rally but if it doesnt it will go to the scrap yard in the sky. Pic below is from 2016 whilst its the same car its not as shiny now as it was then. Thats the damaged corner so is literally the worst angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 It seems very odd seeing a late-model 306 for sale at scrap money. It feels like only yesterday I flew up to Edinburgh with most of four grand in my pocket to buy a 2000 306HDi in the same blue. I then used it for a week while I was on business in Edinburgh and then drove it back home to Southampton. Explaining the expenses claim that was half-flight and half-mileage was interesting. Actually it was 14 years ago. Blimey! GLWTS. sharley17194 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I quite like these but always wondered why the sodding pedals were so close. Because French will be the answer. This has to be the ultimate WBOD surely? sharley17194 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharley17194 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Tbf these models do sell well. I've not seen a hdi for sale for less than 500 in ages. However sort mot and shabby body work put buyers off. Seems a shame to scrap it but that's the sad reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I quite like these but always wondered why the sodding pedals were so close. Because French will be the answer. Pedal spacing is actually pretty good on 306's - I suspect you're thinking of 106's which must have been designed by someone with child sized feet.

sharley17194 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 I have wide size 10 feet and have no issues driving this!

sporty-shite Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 If SportShite doesn’t buy this, AS is going to hell in a handcart.Sorry guys, but we need to fire up the handcart. Bloody typical bad timing, I've been without a car for the last few weeks, just sorted everything, and now a bargain pops up. Bugger.

sharley17194 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 SOLD! Its on its way to the scrapyard in the sky via Megavaux, if anyone wants to scrap a car they always pay the highest price and the service is exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
