Bobthebeard Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 For sale for parts/restoration or whatever.No room to keep this for much longer now sadly. Bought a year or so ago from on here.Have replaced the broken rear transverse spring, repaired the leaky transmission pan, fitted a new brake caliper and removed the honking stinky carpet! Body good but partially rattle canned black (bad idea... But hey ho)..No obvious rust or rot and is very solid on top and below. The AC even works! Starts, runs and stops fine. Interior a bit of a mess as no carpets but no rust .3.1 Sport V6 engine. 147k and starts on the button. Yes, it has a button. The ignition barrel is borked. Column shift auto. Digital dash. £100 collected anyone?? LightBulbFun, D Spares & Tyres, gadgetgricey and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadgetgricey Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Do you think it would start run and stop fine to a local MOT station?Or it does already have an MOT , and you missed a 0 off the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplebargeken Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'd go for this if someone fqncied getting it to a prebooked MOT near the barn in Essex. This was my old car and would fit my wafty need perfectly. Pez and so on covered, even a Turkish lunch. Bobthebeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthebeard Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Best bargain of the year so far surely, what a rolling project that would make.Indeed.... A good project for anyone thus inclined. The mechanical stuff has been done. The rear transverse leaf spring cost me £400 including shipping from the USA.
