  1. I've just purchased the astra from HMC on here so thought it best to put my smart fortwo on here. Its red in colour(comes up as silver due to colour of tridion shell) I'd say condition is ok but other people would say it's good. It's quite a high specced little car with heated seats and aircon(its warm.) It has a panoramic roof. It has 2 sets of spare alloys which will come with the car. It has a split in the rear plastic about 4 inches along. It uses approximately 1 litre of oil per 400 miles. It does smell when accelerating aswell but dont know what the smell is. Its MOTd till October and has 1 key fob. Its £30 tax and it's the 700cc engine. It always starts and does he speed limit. Being a smart the gearbox needs time to decide when it should change gear.(they all do this) It has electric windows and also leather steering wheel(rare as has 3 spokes and paddles-same as the brabus) All warning lights go on the go off as they should. I'm wanting £300 for the car. I'm in Plymouth thanks Thomas.
  2. Volvo 850 T5 CD Estate, 225+ BHP, 1997, P. Reg, Auto, Low Mileage (159 629 miles). Last of the 850’s, registered 19/3/97. Service History (20 Volvo dealer/specialist service stamps). 5 Factory T5 Columba Alloy wheels (refurbished approx. 3 years ago) but still in excellent condition. 4 matching P7 Pirelli 205 x 50 x 16 tyres (the correct size/fit) with plenty of tread/life in them. Metallic grey, Leather interior, Electric memory power heated driver’s seat, Electric Windows x 4, Roof Rails, Electric Mirrors, Climate Control, Air-Con, Cruise Control, Factory Stereo with Alpine CD in boot. Roof Spoiler. Full Logbook in my name and address. 2 sets of Keys/Fobs. Recent/fresh MOT (May 2020). Higher octane fuel always used. 3 previous owners, the last owner/enthusiast for 15 years. Ive owned this 850 for approx. 18 months, an travelled just 5000 miles in that time. Cambelt changed at 139 238 miles. A new Driveshaft/2 gaiters fitted last year. Classic Insurance, so a fully comp policy costs less than £200 per year. No Pets, a non-smokers car, no tow bar. These 850 T5’s are thin on the ground, look around, there are not many available. This is the CD spec, it’s the next model down from the very desirable 850 T5 R, so it can only really increase in value. Note - Previous owner had this chipped? But I have no written proof/Dyno read-outs/prints to prove this? However…I have owned another 850 T5, also an early C70 T5 GT (240 BHP) but both of those cars did not drive/feel as “aggressive” as this 850 T5!...So, a “Sleeper” with the potential to embarrass well known sports cars/hot hatches! This is not a show car, it does have blemishes/marks, an after all…it is over 22 years old. Study the photo’s, the car is bone dry in the pics, no professional valeting or detailing/polishing here, just a clean/dry car. Insured and taxed, so test drives are welcome. Reluctant sale, no Test Pilots or Joy Riders required. Priced to sell at just £1495. Texts are time consuming, so a phone call/chat is the better option. 07936 027216. I'm in Kent, approx. 20 miles from the Dartford Tunnel, near Maidstone. Points to consider – Drivers side front wing shows signs of a small rust patch (a very common fault with the 850). Slight distortion in side of Bumper (below rust patch on drivers wing). Both front leather seats are worn/cracked, but no rips/holes (driver’s seat being the worst). Previous owner sourced a matching coloured Tailgate (Tailgate is from a V70) It’s a perfect fit, but the high level brake light(top of glass) is the giveaway, that it’s from a V70. 2 small indents in both drivers/passengers lower doors (just below door trim). Rust scab on rear of roof (size of a 10 pence piece). Drivers door card edge has small tears (I think previous owner used to catch the seat belt?). Battery is sluggish, when starting car. Scuff on corner of rear bumper (passenger side). Load cover no longer retracts (another common 850/V70 fault!)
  3. In a blatant attempt to take advantage of what is probably our summer thought I would test the water today. Probably above the usual Autoshite bangernomics budget but easier life on here than ebay etc etc I picked this up as a daily for 12 months 2 years ago and love it! 83k potted history but serviced twice in my ownership. Had 4 new good year tyres when I bought it and new brake pads on the back. The brakes are currently squeaking a bit - will clean if I get time, Comes with set of Brembo discs and pads for front - not needed but bought and not had chance to fit. It’s auto - roof works perfectly comes with official merc wind deflector. MOT is July. Drives great - did north coast 500 and used daily with no issues - economy is reasonable. It’s a three foot car - looks good in pics but plenty of marks and blebs - rust on wings as is the norm - worst in pics - will need doing in due course but not unsightly - I spend more time cleaning and waxing this than the expensive cars in the fleet!! I’m not convinced I want to sell and will regret it but I have another ‘toy’ car and could do with something with 4 seats - been offered a family car which has sentimental appeal but one out one in - if no one fancies I can see me keeping another 2 years!! I’m looking for £2k - tell me if I am taking the piss - I know you will!! Comes with model of car with correct colour and plates - that has to be worth an extra couple of hundred?!?!? If it rains tomorrow I’m sure value will plumit!
  4. the skip lovely known as,3 previous owners,last one did not give a toss,only 62000 miles,ice cold aircon,heater works on number 4 only,new resistor inc,work done in my hands front discs/pads,new timing belt,tensi,just done saturday,it had not been done since new,two front partworns,great winter michelins,1 key,original owner had it in greece for 7 years,usual laquar peel on bonnet,etcservice books,handbook,etc,drives fine,electric windows allround,remote central locking,new struts fitted rear hatchback made in feng dong,needs bloody good wash/clean,BL12LT
  5. I have just made a late night Ebay purchase, so the little Charade has to go. Mrs Cade bought a Fiat 500L, so I bought her wee red Daihatsu for running round the site. It's a little smoll for the dug, my tools and I really need a towbar so I'm moving it on. The 9-5 Aero is staying.... 2004- Reg is DV04YLC. Charade 5 door SL,- yep, the Luxury one. £30 a year road tax. Insurance was £200 FC with no- no claims, it does well over 50 MPG and even says "Hello HaPPy" when you start it up Being an SL, it has central locking, electric mirrors, JVC mechless stereo with USB, electric windows and freezing cold AIR CON. It's never asked anything since we've had it, apart from some new tyres. The original alloys were really tatty and the centre caps were missing, so I got 4 Kia Picanto wheels and trimz and put them on. You can have the alloys if you want too. It is really tiny, but surprisingly good on the motorway- 85 is easily possible as a cruise, and it sounds great being a triple. 2 keys, original handbook and wallet and some old reciepts and mot's. The cambelt kit was changed October 2017 and an exhaust in September 2017. MOT is 20th July. Bad points? The EML is on- code is for a Lambda sensor. It's been running around the campsite for a few months so needs a good blast, Lambda sensor is £20 off Ebay Front bumper has been touched up- paint was peeling off so it was sanded and brushed in. Washer bottle is cracked at the top. Holds some water and the washers work fine- rear one doesn't. That's about it- it's a mega cheap to run, fun wee car that surprised me how good it is at being an car. I gave £400 for it, and would like this back if poss. Don't have any pics at the mo, apart from this one parked behind the Saab. Will try and get some more tomorrow, but it needs a good hoover because Bassett.
  6. Yo crew A mate of my dads, dad died a few months back and has had this from new. It’s auto and runs out of mot in a month it ain’t mint but it ain’t bad according to my dad, apparently drives bob on. Anyhow he wants £1400 no offers if it’s any good to anyone let me know, I know he won’t take any less and he doesn’t want people ringing who ain’t going to come and have a look. Not sure if it’s cheap or expensive but I did say I would ask about and if anyone is interested I will let him know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I am dipping my toe in the water but it would be good to judge the interest. This is a car I had about 3 or 4 years ago, it ran beautifully and was tidy inside with a Dolomite 1300 SE dash fitted. This was sold to Kes on this here forum and taken up to sunny Anglesey. Sadly the necessary work was put on the back burner. This came back to me a couple of months ago and I have done a few bits and pieces. I have bought several bits for the car: New plugs, HT leads, oil filler cap, rad cap and brass radiator plug (a worthy upgrade). There is also a new choke cable, oil filter and the rocker cover has been cleaned up, rust killed and painted. I have new foam gasket and screws for the rear light clusters and a good used part loom for the number plate lights. Front foot well carpet sections (both sides). HL door cards supplied with wood door cappings. Work needed: A battery is required. Spares need fitting. Cooling system has been drained and needs refilling (will do if I can). Bodywork: The car has its issues. The boot floor needs a section cutting out and new metal letting in, the recess where the tank sits needs cutting out and a new section welding in as well, I have a good spare section already. A couple of patches needed for the O/S sill. The rear 1/4 panel near the top of the rear end needs a repair section fabricating. The boot lid needs a tidy but yet again is hugely viable. The N/S chassis rail will need a small patch too I think. Small patches required here and there, nothing truly major. A couple of the doors need a little bit of work but remain entirely usable. The A pillars need a clean up and fix but again, very typical of the Dolomite range. The section by the 3 rear vents just above the rear screen needs cleaning up, rust killing and painting. Passenger front footwell needs a credit card sized patch. The exhaust is solid but is covered in surface rust, a good clean up will sort it. This is a project car but one that is hugely viable with not a huge amount of work in the scheme of things. The front valance and front wings are all spot on. The car is a great colour, Brooklands Green. The car is located in Edmonton, North London and will need to be dollied or trailered. Price is £775 which will see my expenditure covered. The value of these cars is finally increasing and once sorted would be a great little thing to blat about in. Photos to follow.
  8. Evening all! Up for grabs is this bright green Ford Ka! I bought this a few years back for my (now thankfully ex) wife to learn to drive. After she decided she didn't want it my brother had it from me as his car had failed it's MoT. When I had it: The Facts: 2007 Ford Ka Style MOT Until 27/06/19 About 77,000 miles In Stratford Upon Avon with my brother The good: The car is in good condition. It runs well - engine is smooth and Ka's handle surprisingly well!. Not a huge amount of rust - even round the fuel filler cap! My brother has spent a lot on it in the last 6 months it has had * a new clutch * new rear wheel bearing * Two new front tyres * New heater matrix It's very green It has been cared for well. Custom decals The bad Custom decals Did had to have some repair welding in the last MoT - was done to a decent standard, but it is a Ka - this won't be the last time it needs the sparkly stick! But to my knowledge there's nothing imminent. Small patch of rust to the drivers side arch Heater is either on hot or off. probably needs a repair to the switch. The price: My brother has it up for £750 on Facebook. Shiters discount applies so £650 to any of you lovely lot! So overall a fun little car - super if you're anything from 19 to 90!
  9. NOW UPDATED 19/3 all Sold and Paid for items Removed unless still pictured. Items marked Sold are pending payment. Everything priced will be plus postage costs. Unknown Lorry. Me and my brother had one each in the late 80's / early 90's. Crane is missing. Chassis is cracked along front axle.( see last pic) Also part of the rear light board is missing too. Might be good for the body or cab as both are near excellent. 50p. Boots Branded Mini Cooper S. About 1:64 scale. Untested as needs LR44 batteries. Though it was crap when it worked anyway! 50p Warning the following may offend the eyes! These kits were ruined by my poor attempts as a child. But maybe of use to someone? The Citroen has a split on the lower front bumper. Minor damage to the roof and scratches to the body. An to finish off some crap black gloss painted base, wheels and silver bumpers. Think it's complete otherwise. £1? Everything below 50p - £1. Hot Wheels all unopened bar the Camero £1 each. An some close up pics of remaining items.
  10. I may have the chance of this coming into my possession ... It's had a shunt up the back and will probably need a bit of work to be roadworthy but I can't see it scrapped. Spotted it outside an old style repair garage and spoke to the bloke who works there. He said it belongs to an old lady who has had it years and it has had no expense spared over the years. It is mechanically sound, so I'm told. It is probably going to be a write off, and she will be washing her hands of it most likely as it's an uneconomical repair. Any interest on here? I may just part it out or try to find another to make one good car... Ps. Reg number is available for MOT check purposes, I just had to promise to blank it out due to the old lady who owned it being a bit paranoid apparently.
  11. Reeto, time to do some ForceNail as I have a few too many bits of chod, starting with a RAF Latvia made in The Glorious People's Republic of Russia, lots of opening bits, in VGC, and boxed I am after a tenner plus post.

Both in blister packs Next up, no pineapples included, buttery biscuit base Vanguards VW Golf, mintola in box, £15 plus post, no scene tax here Oxford Ford Thames van in PO Telephones, 1/43, a Fiver plus post, boxed but no outer sleeve More 1/43 shizzle will be added over the weekend, owt you fancy, drop me a PM, and I don't mean Twiki the Maybot
  12. VW Passat 1.9 TDI SE Estate - 1999 'T' reg. MOT until the end of June 2019 - no advisories 145,000 miles approximately This car has been in the same family since it was around 1 year old, purchased from Hawco VW in Inverness, still has dealer number plates and so on... Proper no nonsense engine, good condition for a 20 year old car, and very economical to run. Really well looked after, owned for the past 15 years by a proper old school mechanic, anything that ever needed done was done without question. There is some early service history for the first 5 years or so, all done by Hawco VW Inverness, with the booklet stamped up until then, along with nicely handwritten notes to go alongside. Unfortunately in recent years its not had any history recorded, but it has had the cambelt replaced and engine serviced at 140,000 miles, plus two new Avon tyres on the front. Registration for eagle eye MOT checkers is T138LNV - pretty clean history on that front too. Its all clean and original, a few rust bubbles around the front arches, but nothing serious. Lovely blue paintwork. The only things I think that aren't original is the addition of a full size spare wheel with alloy, sourced by Hawco's in its early days, and a tow-bar. Has a CD multichanger in the back and the boot liner is present too. No pets or smokers Based up near Inverness and looking for £850 or offers. Even if vaguely interested please feel free to message and I will pass on full details and try to sort out some photographs early next week.

  14. I’m losing the battle of justifying to myself the need for two council lock-ups anymore, especially as only one of them is housing an actual car now. The reality of this realisation is that a whole host of my stuff must be rehomed, thusly I shall post up the woeful, the dire and the gopping for your delectation and potential purchase. Here y’are then: 4 x LS400 (UCF10) 15 inch wheels with good tyres. Bought them to beautify my LS (UCF10) but was bereaved to discover that, being the facelift version, it had larger brakes that require the 16 inch wheels. Ratscocks. Sold 5 x Mk1 Granada Ghia alloys. £50 Ford Type F 4 speed gearbox (removed from a 55k miles, 1975 2000E Cortina) Sold RS2000 exhaust manifold. (Gearstick not included) Sold Mk2 Granada wheel arch panel. Sold Mk3/4/5 Cortina 1600 propshaft. Sold
  15. Hello Shiters! I bought some N.O.S parts last week, and have spent a bit of time sorting through them and cataloguing them. I've thought I'd offer them to shiters first as there are some crackers in there (timing belt for a Bluebird 2.0 Diesel anyone?) With them being New Old Stock, the boxes are dusty/could be damaged but the parts themselves are in decent condition (if sometimes a touch dusty) I've looked at the prices online for the same items on Ebay and Amazon, and decided to charge approx 50% less. Prices are included in the tables below. Postage is £2.95 PER ITEM for oil filters and timing belts Rather than stick up a million pics, please send me a PM with Part/s you are after Car Make/Model/Engine Size Car Year and I'll double check they'll fit and send you a picture back to confirm. Oil Filters Timing Belts
  16. 1 previous owner from new,64000 miles,new tyres allround,fitted by previous giffer owner,original radio/cass,
  17. 52 plate K2 Recently MOT Pass (Monday!) Advisories - 1x exhaust slightly noisy (dB killer refitted) 1x front tyre approaching 1x chain slightly tight (it's bang on when adjusted last week but I'll recheck it). 12k on clock. Bobbins, RedScorpion can. Rest bog-standard. £2500 as is Better pics to come if needed/required. Here before lolbay and mongtree. Previous mx injury and wire in shoulder means sit up and beg style needed. I know its not shite per se but its over 10 years old. Thanks, Sam
  18. I have a load of car parts which are nearly all a collection that I have bought for cars I have owned, the new are oil filters, air filter, fuel filters, cabin filters, track rod ends etc.. I am not after a kings ransom for them just make me an offer and postage is extra.. I am in need of the Garage / Shed space, if you do Auto jumbles why not make me an offer for the lot ? Metro.. K series mechanical fuel pump, 1.1l Metro 1.1 k series Fuel filter.. Metro / Reliant brake shoes. The following pics are MK Golf AHF ( 1997/8 ) but are likely to fit on any VAG with that engine.. Not just engine parts here but Track rod ends, wiper mechanism, brake hoses, door locks, Brake pads.. loads of stuff.. As you can see there is genuine parts there, the Hepu box is a genuine coolant pump and VAG cam belt kit.. ]
  19. MEGABARG PRICE DROP.........NOW £650....MAY ROFFLE IF ANY INTEREST. Now for sale. Having the key fob fixed, and two new front tyres............the rest of it seems fine. It seems to have had the following fitted recently. Both fuel pumps, alternator, clutch master and slave cylinders, front discs and pads, front lower suspension arms, and drop links. No warning lights, everything seems to work, although key just spins in driver's door lock........according to the inter web..TADTS, and apparently it's not a job for a fat fingered oaf such as I. Pixels on dash are even ok! Interior is unripped, and pretty clean. It's a bimbly old Hector, just gets on with it in a most unfussy manner Near Maidstone......£750 to a 'shiter More photos further down this post, would do a deal on something commodious and auto WOULD SWAP FOR MAHOOSIVE PEOPLE CARRIER, NO BACK SEATS NECESSARY.
  20. Hola, Want a slice of Malaysian action? Of course you do, that's why you're looking at this mighty steed. Namely my 1992 Proton 1.3GL, or Saga if you want the proper term. It's minty fresh with only 24,000 on the clock. V5 is here and in my name. It's very green. The interior is very brown. It's all very nice though. I bought it as a car that had been laid up for a number of years. I dragged it to my unit, gave it a full service, fitted new steering rack boots and then put it through its MOT (has about eight months left) which it passed with ease. The only advisories were tyre-based, as they're a bit old. They still do the job though. Just don't go trying to set any land-speed records and you should be fine. It has a silly green steering wheel and a silly green gear-knob, but I still have the stock parts. The only other notable upgrade is the stereo, which is a wonderfully '90s Sony unit with a ten disc changer. this is paired up to a set of boxed 6x9s on the rear shelf. Oh, and I've fitted a quick-shift kit to it, as the throw on the standard gears was comically long. I love this little thing, but need to free up funds. You will not find a cleaner one, if you can find one at all. It starts on the button thanks to a new battery and as such, it'll take you anywhere. The only downside is the front passenger door, which is rippled after a car-park altercation some years ago. I can point you in the direction of a new door, though. £695 takes it. If not, I'll hide it away. Anyway, pictures...
  21. I sold the Skoda to someone in Yorkshire, because someone offered me a shit-sounding Mazda in Southport. Urgent preparations were made and the journey commenced. I met the Skoda owner in Rochdale before a short drive to his house. GOOD OMEN. Last Skoda pic. Deal done, we looked at local vehicles of interest. This used to live in Sydney. Then the new Skoda owner drove me to my new car! How nice is that? Well, I had saved him a six-hour roundtrip I guess. I took no pictures of my new car, but did a video thing. The horrific kangerooing issue was soon identified. Went back to the vendor, borrowed some screwdrivers and aluminium tape and wrapped the pipe considerably. Then drove 100 miles. Had food. FLATTERING PIC Got home 12 hours after leaving. It's a 1.5 GLX, but is surprisingly punchy. It has two weeks of MOT. It has a gash right along the nearside where it caught a gate post (or more specifically the hinge upon it). The windscreen is badly scratched by ancient wipers. There's a CV joint on the way out. There stereo is from an Alfa Romeo, sounds fantastic but is horrible to use. The buttons don't light up. It's all rather firm - steering wheel, seats and suspension. There's too much lumbar support and I don't think you can adjust it. There is a clutch foot rest. The column stalks are proper JDM. It is an absolute hoot on Welsh roads. Even on an odd mix of budget rubber, you don't really need to slow down for bends. It's quite remarkable. The 'home' shot shows why there's no petrol station shot. It had three-quarters of a tank! I shall put it in for an MOT and see how much my MOT man laughs. More pics to follow.
  22. Just saw this on Autotrader for £275 SKODA Felicia 1.3 GLi 5dr in Witham https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201902265319505 Future classic as the ads always say... hehe.
  23. Well, what can I say; Don't know why (I'm likely getting bored) but I think I'll be getting rid of the Civic and my life will be bereft of double wishbone and multi-link goodness for a while. Just completed a 750-mile road trip in her and she was fine...well, ok, she was a bit hesitant but at no point did I ever feel she was going to break down on me. That said, I do have breakdown cover, I'm not that brave! Called Phoebe by the previous owners because of the number plate. I think a more appropriate name is The Red Wreck. Plus I love a good Coronation Street pun. She's only been back on the road since September 2018 after being off the road for five years due to an MoT fail on corrosion and brakes. After much fettling she was back on the road. It's at this point I think I should stop referring to an inanimate object as "she" as I'm starting to sound like Martin Bryce from Ever Decreasing Circles. Good points: Starts in the cold instantly, no matter how long IT'S been left. It has MoT until Sep 19th 2019. Very nippy indeed even with the hesitancy issue. All the electronics work, even the leccy sunroof and the much-coveted one-touch driver's side window. This includes also the fantastic heater. Has a genuine 49k from new (the old lady I bought it from chucked the invoices and receipts away in the time between me paying for it and collecting it. Feel free to check MoT history on Vehicle Smart or similar). The log book states I'm the fourth owner but the first owner was the dealer the the first two "real" owners were husband and wife, the man's widow taking it on after his death. (Sorry for the dealer spiel) The body, though shabby, is solid. The strut tops, inner wings and boot floor look spotless to my untrained eyes. Doesn't seem to use any oil or water and maintains a constant temperature just below the halfway mark, even on very long trips. Still has the original wheel trims (is this a plus?) Had £1500 spent on it to get it roadworthy again, the majority of that money going on welding, brake lines and rebuilding the right-hand carb. Has had a light service with new oil and plugs and blah blah. Assuming people know service items. Interior is in fantastic nick bar the issue I'll mention below. No weird noises, knocks or bangs to speak of. The door seals seem to be in great condition and the wind noise is about what you'd expect for one of these (really loud cos it's an '80s supermini). Has the original stereo which works. There is a tape in the car which contains Christian pop. I have listened to it for testing purposes only. Signal seems a bit weak for the radio but assuming this is easily sorted. Cambelt has just been done 800 miles ago as it was so old I was frightened to even start it up. Still has the original "Les Allen of Sunderland" dealer plates and they still look great. Dealer sticker is also still on the rear window. Bad points: The welding, as you may be able to see from the pics, looks shit. It's solid but I think it's just been painted in red oxide and there already seems to be very light surface corrosion. The sills were welded and then painted in black Hammerite by the looks of it - their condition seems to be ok but who knows? They look and feel very solid. Car needs a ton of choke to idle when cold and even when warm, you can't really knock the choke off. It's a bit hesitant when you're trying to accelerate or pull away. It can catch you out sometimes, especially if the ambient temperature drops without you knowing. Hole in the passenger side front seat, seems to be sun damage. It's only small (I'll get a pic) Passenger-side door doesn't unlock from the outside and if this car ever had central locking, it is non-functional. Opens fine from the inside, though and I'll try and fix it. It's had a rear-end shunt at some point and the fog light is loose but still works. The bumper has been reseated but this does mean that if you look very, very closely the bumper doesn't quite look flush. Man on a galloping horse and all that. VERY slight noise from the o/s outer CV joint but at this stage I wouldn't even bother thinking about it. I only noticed because I'm a car pedant / hypochondriac. The boot is intact. Crease / dent / scrape on the o/s front wing. All the paint is faded and patchy with peeling lacquer. So that's about it really. Looking through the paperwork, the garage seem to have only messed with the right side carb as it had a stuck float, presumably from aged petrol lacquer. Before it's sold, I'll take the spring and piston out of the left carb - if my hunch is right I'm expecting gunk on the intake side. HOPEFULLY this is the cause of the running issue but be aware there are no rebuild kits available for these Keihin carbs so if it's not the fault, it may need a carb switch. I think Webers are a popular conversion but I don't know how that would work in terms of air filtration as the Keihins are side-draught. You'd also certainly need a filter for the PCV gases. I've probably made this car sound much worse than it is but I value honesty over conning people. I made that sound like a virtue, when in fact it just means I'm not a monster. Oh well...Certainly rather have a slower sale or sell it for a bit less than sell it in two days for the asking price, only for the car to disappoint someone because I was scant in my description. It's really a clean car, though. No idea how much it's worth and I'm certainly not averse to swappage but I just thought I'd stick this up here and see in which direction the wind blows. If I don't sell it, I don't sell it. I'll try and get some better / interior pictures over the weekend. I'll start with £800 roffle and go from there - people can tell me if I'm crazy for either overpricing or underpricing. I've decided I'll likely not take a swap because the chances of somebody having something I can insure cheaply in combination with something I like are probably minimal but I'm still SLIGHTLY open to something I can get classic insurance for. Sooner have cash, though. It's great fun to drive, with quick and direct, if light, steering, taut handling, nice snicky gearbox, punchy performance if you keep up the revs and a nice, jarring ride (ahem). The brakes are actually pretty good, not too much of a shock after driving my dad's 2006 Xsara Picasso. Very progressive compared to all-or-nothing Citroen brakes. There may be possibilities such as delivery or meeting halfway but only after a price were agreed. Don't want to firmly state I will do it at this stage because I hate to let people down. If I did deliver though I'd make it free within a 50-mile or so radius - hopefully there are a few shiters in the North East or willing to meet. Beyond that I'd just be covering my costs. I'm quite new to the group so I'm relying on the buyer to be more cognisant of the protocol than me. To sum up, it's a cosmetically compromised, ridiculously solid and reliable old girl with a bit of a cough (OH I DID IT AGAIN!). Oh, and it's got a new tyre. Don't rush all at once now.... Kind Shiter Regards, Dave
