AnthonyG Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 From factory, this would have had a 1500. I think 1750s came a little later - you could get either towards the end of production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 It does look that way. I won't say who it is just yet. He is a relatively recently signed up shiter but looking at the list of cars he has it will fit right in with his collection Mrs6C, Brodders and Tamworthbay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Oh and my original offer of lending the trailer doesn't stand anymore, sorry. It has a 4x4 on it with the suspension removed. I need to get a few more bits off yet before I weigh it in. If the original chap who was going to have it still wants it then fine, no hard feelings. I'm not being funny, just practical. You are still welcome to it but just hurry up and get yours or someone else's arse down here, I'm only 40 miles away!! Furst 2 C will by Happy xmas!!!

The Old Bloke Next Door Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 In the event that no one else collects it soon and you can deliver it to me, I'll pay your fuel costs. It is unlikely that I would be doing anything to it before next April at the earliest. During that period it will be available to any Shiter that can collect from me and reimburse my costs. I have secure storage in Hednesford WS12 area. Or you could just take it to the bridge and pocket some coin for yourself, safe in the knowledge that you have done your best to save it for posterity.

vulgalour Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I haven't the funds to get it from there to here in a decent timeframe, so this is as much of your time as I shall waste. Soz. I should probably focus on the Princess at any rate. D Spares & Tyres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going on gumtree now. I currently have no road legal towcar for the first time in years. I'm in no rush to sort it as I don't really need to tow anything and also it stops me picking up more shite! The Old Bloke Next Door 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 No doubt the gumtree bell ends expected a full restoration for the asking price?It's back on now as of this morning. One text saying £100 cash today. I replied £150 and you have a deal. He replied that he is short of cash and will cost too much to get here so can only pay £100. I told him he is probably best saving his cash up then. Another one wanted to pay £100. I just said no. The third person sounds promising though... It's leaving soon if I have to weigh it in, much as though it would upset me but £100 in my pocket and no more timewasters sounds very appealing...

D Spares & Tyres Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 This sodding thing is finally going on monday. A serial shiter is having it. We have done business before and I know his word is good. I put it on gumtree for £200 and have had several emails and texts. Some of the classic '100 today mate' style ones. I just want it gone so replied 'ok yes that's fine'. None got back to me after that. What motivates these idiots????? Conrad D.
