The back story is here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16300&p=443974#p443974 After agreeing a price with Ruffgeezer, I decided that, in time-honoured Autoshite tradition, I would try to make a collection thread out of my trip from Hertfordshire to Lincolnshire to collect the prize piece of French exotica pictured above. By the standards others have set, I'm afraid it's going to be quite a dull one - but here goes anyway. I had planned to make amends with Mrs W - not exactly enamoured with the fact that I had sacked off a Sunday with her to go and collect an old Citroen instead - by making her breakfast. Unfortunately though, I overslept, so had to modify the offer to a cup of tea in bed. I think I got away with it. So shoes on and straight down to the station to catch train number 1 of the day, quickly grabbing this on the way - not that I had any doubts about the reliability of the vehicle but, you know, just in case... It seems that my local station car park turns into a car boot sale on Sunday mornings. I didn't have time to browse but, fortunately, it looked like an utterly crap one anyway, so no loss really. Straight into the station then. This has to be one of the best railway station signs around I reckon... ... and on to the train. Entertainment came courtesy of a two-day old free newspaper and - of course - Autoshite fone edition. I was changing trains at Kings Cross, where some disappointing news was waiting for me. But as I would hopefully be driving later, it was probably for the best. I need some discipline sometimes. On to the second train of the day. I'm not much of a leftie like but, given the choice, I prefer my trains nationalised in true '70s and '80s tradition, so this was good... And then it was delayed. On reflection, nationalised trains R SH!T AKTULY. So, instead of half an hour to spare, I arrived in Peterborough, where I was to meet Ruffgeezer, with less than seven minutes to spare, leaving little time for car park tat-spotting And, indeed, I found bugger all worth photographing to brighten up this thread. Except for this. I mean the painting, not the toss cars parked in front of it. I also thought this Peterborough station sign was quite funky in an understated sort of way. My photo doesn't do it justice. I've no idea what the holiday coaches are all about. It certainly wouldn't be my choice of sunny destination. Anyway, Ruffgeezer turned up bang on time. We had arranged to meet up in Peterborough as he had driven there to pick up a drinks cabinet bought off eBay, which we had to get back his missus' grandparents' place in Lincolnshire. So it was full diesel ahead and straight on the A16. The journey was whiled away with lots of car-related chat which, to my surprise, I could hear above the engine noise. Tim explained that this late C15 has the advantage of the more modern and quiter DW8 lump rather than the XUD found in older versions. And before we knew it, we were on the pleasant gravel driveway of Gramps Rufgeezer. Having heard so much about the stunning cabinet in the back of the van, I was very keen to see it in its full glory. The moment of anticipation: And then, in the moment of excitement, managed to put my thumb over the lens for the next shot: Nevertheless, I'm sure you agree it's a thing of beauty. Weighs a bloody ton though and the next half-hour was spent getting it inside. Removal job done, complimentary can of coke downed, and paperwork signed, I was then in the driving seat and on my way back daaan saaarth. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised what a comfortable and enjoyable drive it is. Quick acceleration, good all-round visibility, nice seats, a decent heater - the only down side are the brakes which are APPALLING - far worse than those on my LDV (the previous low-point of my useless brakes experience). One thing you can say for the C15 is that it can hold its own on the motorway - although maybe I did push it a bit too hard, as passing the indicated 80 point simultanously loosened the bonnet trim and blew a hole in the exhaust, putting paid to that quiet ride. At least I had the annoying radio and the sights of Lincolnshire to keep me amused though. For example, here's Boston's famous landmark as seen from the C15. And there was also the customary stop at my fave roadside establishment to grab a 4pm breakfast... Tim had been kind enough to stick a decent glug of diesel in the tank earlier, although this didn't quite get me all the way so I pulled off the A1 in search of a filling station and happened upon the town that gave its name to everyone's favourite British smelly cheese It's a very nice place. Some pub quiz trivia for you - Stilton has never actually been made in Stilton but the cheese is so named because that is where it was first sold. PHACT. And then home. I'm very pleased with my purchase and look forward to enjoying many more miles behind the wheel. It was also good to meet Ruffgeezer who is a top bloke.

Now that I'm close to completion on the paintwork of the old 18 diesel I'm just gauging interest to see if anyone wants it?

It needs a rear wheel cylinder replaced brake shoes and a brake pipe replaced, it broke when removing the old cylinder. It could also do with a new clutch, It's been the same since KinkerSaab had it in 2012 and will slip if not driven carefully. Mileage is around 75k from memory and mot is up in June. It's had a new timing belt, water pump and radiator. New wheel arches welded in, sills have been patched up over the years. It's had a lot of welding underneath and on the inner wings. Interior is filthy, mainly paint dust from removing the paint. Currently fitted is a set of Reliant ss1 alloys but I'll see if I can dig out the original steel wheels. Good project for someone and not many left so might be worth saving. Will need towed/transported due to rear wheel cylinder/brake pipe needing replaced. £400 Fife, Scotland

I've had this for about 18 months and it's been a great car. Bought from a fellow shiter. It's a Y reg estate, 90hp, GLX model. It's been a reliable car for me but I'll start with the bad... The main problem is an injector is leaking. The car's still driveable, I did 200 miles in it this week, but it's now down on power and the engine is having to work hard. I replaced the fire washer but I'm unable to tighten the injector anymore as there was swarf on the bolt I took out so I'm worried about stripping the thread. I think it needs a helicoil which I can't do, but someone else might be able to. I did ring a garage but they said the head might need to come off to do it. It's not worth me spending lots on it and I might want to try something more shite. MOT to Dec 2017 202k miles Taxed and still insured by me so no collection worries. Has had regular servicing in my ownership, several hundred pounds spent, oil and filter change last week. I am a geek so have a spreadsheet with it all on. New auxiliary belt New rear pads and discs Has had handbrake fettling to pass the mot, it's still not great, no 20p found tow bar and electrics bodywork is fairly tidy, has a few minor dents but no rust I can see and the mot man said it's pretty solid underneath 4 x Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres fitted still with reasonable tread left. electrically adjustable front seats, all working Gearchange is fine. I changed the gearbox oil last week. Clutch bites high but apparently they are often like that. No slippage. The info display has pixel damage so it's not that much use. The aircon doesn't work. All 4x electric windows work. I don't think the cd player works but the radio does I have two standard keys so central locking is operated by the door lock. I don't have a remote key to try it. Exhaust has some holes in where it was grounded but it's not too rusty. The car came with no history so I would change the timing belt for peace of mind or play roulette at this price. It doesn't owe me a lot and i don't want to scrap it. If it doesn't sell I'll park it up and fix at a later date. I'm in Leicester. PM me if interested.

The car drives reasonably well, just had the carb stripped, cleaned and rebuilt with new gaskets as well as a service including plugs, leads, rotor arm and distributor cap. The bodywork is average, there's a dent in the rear and the wheel arches are scabby but solid. It's had welding to the sills and front valance but overall it's solid if a little on the scruffy side.

Interior is in good order and the mileage is 43k V5 present Mot December 2017 Located in Fife, Scotland and looking for a cash sale only.

For various reasons but mainly for health reasons, I'm selling a few of my vehicles off. I have already found new homes for 2 of my FSOs. The next one I have to offer is my Volvo V70 Estate, 2.4 Petrol, MILEAGE 131,000 I bought it, as I already have the 940 and thought it would be a nice addition. The truth is, I don't particularly like it and much prefer the 940, which I'm going to keep. It has an MOT from earlier this month. A new coil pack and a set of plugs. It drives really well and is actually a lovely car but it's just not for me. I don't know. Maybe it's just not shit enough for me Things that need attention are: The top engine mount could do with replacing. The new tyres fitted buy the previous owner are slightly too big and rub on the inner plastic arche liner on full lock. I've noticed that when I put petrol in, that there is a smell of petrol for a while after but I've had a look under the car and can't find anything too obvious but it needs looking at. As you can see on the photos, it has a bit of eczma on the passenger door and n/s rear wing. Apart from these problems it is a really nice car with leather and aircon.

FREE My Daily has developed a clutch prob and being garageless inna posh area there's NO propping rides on ole railway sleepers in parking bays an weekend of dropping gearbox (I love Essex) allowed. Sooo good 1.9 XUD engine newish cam belt n waterpump n starter with complete car attached with valid MOT parked near GU2 7XH. Obviously if you have breakdown recovery no comments. Got a day or so before the scrappy needs to be alerted n V5 in my name so youse cannot just get carefuckuback to give you cash. Anyones??

You all know Crapaud, he has a thread: http://autoshite.com/topic/15611-renault-6tl-crapaud-pre-collection-post/ I've reached the end of what I can and what I want to do with this project so it's time to move it on. I'd like to avoid eBay etc. if I can. Enough people have told me it's an easy fix that I believe for someone, it is, I'm not that someone. The engine has been rebuilt but something is set incorrectly because it won't run. You may need to remove the head or take the engine out of the car to sort this and those are both jobs I will not be doing. I'm owner number 3 The car has done 132,000 miles It is the 1181/688 engine Many mechanical components are shared with the Renault 4 as the chassis is similar. There are many new things included front upper and lower balljoints, both pairs (fitted) front brake discs (fitted) front brake pads (currently not fitted, calipers are a bit sticky) 5 brand new Kumho tyres, 4 fitted, 1 not fitted as the spare rim is badly corroded radiator three part clutch (fitted) full exhaust (backbox not fitted but supplied) fuel sender (not fitted, tank needs cleaning out first) custom headlining all four door seals tailgate seal Wiper blades (fitted, still good!) inner and outer driveshaft boots (not fitted) rotor arm x2 distributor cap x2 plug leads spark plugs contact breaker points piston rings all engine gaskets and seals Will also come with a pair of NOS Renault front wings, still with factory stickers, and a pair of second hand doors that have good glass and a few good spare parts attached. I've sourced the rare items such as headlights and dash switches so you don't have to. The gutters had rotted out so were welded up and stick-on ones applied. The tailgate window allows water in where the seal has lifted, I now keep a cover on the car so it stays dry. I have the current V5, you may be unable to declare SORN online because the car has been off the road since 1993. I wrote to them and they sent a letter confirming SORN not required until the car was in use, I advise a new owner does the same. Buyer must collect as the car does not run. Please check the legalities of A-framing, etc. if you plan to do this as that would be your responsibility, not mine. You cannot drive this to an MoT. You cannot drive this at all currently. Raffle? I'd prefer not to but will if there's a ridiculous flood of interest. Car is in Stockton-on-Tees, TS17

Its been emotional. With a history of 65 vehicles rolling in and out over the last five years, I now realise that it is time for a break from this bagain basement rollercoaster of chod. A boring modern is appealing. Maybe its my age. One last time (for now), Im heading orf down the long road to pick up someone superiors outdated hand-me-down. South is the direction. South and West. 1st up. Shit modern bus. And we're off.

I thought i'd start a new thread for the Sharan i bought off Krujoe last week. I apologise that it's relatively modern for on here even though in most of the 'normal' population a 13 year old car is nearly ready for the scrapyard! I'd like to get it reliable as the few journeys in it have left me very impressed. It's very relaxing to drive with the tiptronic auto and very comfortable. It does feel a bit bus like but in a good way. I'm already planning some trips out with the family and grand parents to try and take full advantage it. I thought i'd list my plan of attack here although i realise it may not be the most riveting read. As you may remember i had an issue with limp mode on the drive home. Several issues to be precise. That's top of my list to try and sort. I've bought a full service kit off ebay with oil and all the filters so i'm going to do that tomorrow, I've also bought some forte turbo cleaner and diesel injector cleaner so will run those through it to see if it makes any difference. Also planning to get the codes read with my new lead and copy of vcds lite. Finally, to see if i can remove the egr valve and give it a clean and a last resort will be the Mr Muscle treatment for the turbo, when i've found it, but must admit that does scare me a bit! Here's my list:- Priority Sort limp mode - 5 pronged attack Oil and filter change Pollen, fuel and air filter change Put original battery back on and see if it works after a 24 hour charge (i doubt it) Get a replacement tyre (possibly a part worn) as one of the rears keeps going down Once it's running ok Check front brakes and see why they're a bit shit See if i can sort out the parking sensors which bleep but don't work (possibly a sensor) Book in at ATS for aircom regas (as they apparently don't charge if the systems's borked which i suspect it is) If a keeper Cambelt and water pump (i texted the previous owner and asked nicely if he knew whether this had been done - he ignored me - i think it's overdue) Sort out minor bodywork issues - stone chips and surface rust on rear arches Change ATF fluid (maybe, if i'm brave) Get a set of car mats Possibly get a spare wheel and holder (it hangs under the rear) as the originals are absent I'll just add that i've used the car a couple of times this week for short journeys and there's been no limp mode. I'll need to give it a good thrash down the motorway to see if it's properly fixed as i bought it to us to France in July so don't want to be pulling off at every service area to restart the bloody thing! Will let you know how i get on tomorrow.

2002 '52' Vauxhall Astra 1.8 SXi MOT: September 2017 117k Runs and drives very well, bodywork in good condition just minor marks, all good tyres. Interior in good condition everything works. Bought it as a cheap runabout but something else cheap and turbo powered has come up so it'll be surplus to requirements. Full V5 and 1/2 tank of fuel if you're quick! £350 Will get more photos when I'm back with the car tomorrow evening.

1996 Citroen Xantia 'Dimension' 1.8 16V petrol hatch. If you tuned in last week you'll probably know the score with this but for those listening in black and white I'll do a quick synopsis. Basically it did 7k mostly trouble free miles for me until developing a misfire and then catching fire above the exhaust back box, which has distorted the boot floor a bit and rather put me off the whole thing. It's also started leaking LHM from the rear somewhere. There are some good points; It's very solid for a Xantia with little rot that I can see anywhere. New Clutch cable. All spheres replaced in the last 6 months. Everything works. Interior is a bit faded but no rips or holes anywhere. Most of a full tank of petrol in it. Recent LHM flush and change. Recent auxiliary drive belt replacement. MOT until April. It's still misfiring, garage reckoned it could be ignition coil related or perhaps even plugs but I've not had much chance to check. It can be driven on very light throttle but there's no guarantee you'd make it home without barbequing yourself so perhaps best to bring a trailer or some means of transportation. Can sit on it for a couple of weeks if someone is interested but really need it gone sooner rather than later. If anyone is interested I can take more pics. Car is located in West Lothian within easy reach of the M8 motorway.

Ok, so anyone who's seen my Volvo 740 thread will be aware that my sisters boyfriends family have an estate to clear which includes, amongst other things this Omega. All the other vehicles and the caravan are spoken for and safe but the poor old Omega is in need of a loving home! So, it's a 1997 R reg Omega Elite estate with the 2.5 six pot diesel and auto box. It's got no tax or MOT and has been sat for about a year and a half, but it has been started occasionally just to keep it running. I've had a quick look today when I picked up the Volvo and it's a nice car. It's done 166k miles and has been owned by the family since 2001, before that it was the same family's company car so it has in effect had only one owner. Condition wise, it's like my Volvo. It's been loved and looked after until about mid 2015 when it was parked up and the owner sadly passed away. It's pretty dirty and covered in green algae and dirt from standing. The inside is similar, it's just in need of a really good clean. There's the odd mark here and there to the paintwork but nothing serious and it looks like a very solid tidy old car that could very easily be made into something really nice with a bit of work. There's a little bit of rust on the rear arch lips but at the moment it's just a few little blisters and if treated now it won't cause any grief. The interior is grey leather, all ok by the looks of it but wants a clean as there's dust and small patches of mould here and there. The only issue that has cropped up is the diesel pump has started to leak a bit but only when the engines running. It's not absolutely pissing out but does dribble a bit! The owner said it still has diesel in the tank and he's confident it will start and drive anywhere. The car needs to find a good home, ideally with someone who will take care of it and get it back on the road. I've only looked at it quickly but it does appear far too good to scrap and will make a good car with plenty of life left in it yet. The car has it's V5 and at least some history available and it's located in Bath. If anyone is genuinely interested in taking this on then PM me and we can sort something out between us. I have the current owners number so can get in touch easy enough.

My mate Paul is selling his (previously mine) Volvo 960 Base. Couple of details - 3.0 automagic. Will do 27mpg on a run. Base spec with optional Cloth interior. No cruise or climate control so less to go wrong. Basically it's a 940GLE with a 3L engine and independant rear suspension. Updated Volvo stereo. CD Player + tape. May even have a boot located autochanger. I can't remember. 4 new tyres. Load liner and load cover. MoT till September. Slight oil leak from sump. Suspect a gasket rather than a porous sump pan. Brakes will need doing soon. Tradional Volvo 900 series door card vinyl lifting. May need an interior clean. Other than that it's a fairly alright steed. Looking around the £250 mark but I dare say offers shall be considered. Give us a bell if you want any more info or have interest in said motor vehicle. I'll post of a couple of pictures below but there are loads on Flickr if you search for "M458 VAJ" with the space. Car is located in Cambuslang. Don't think it needs to shift IMMEDIATELY but obviously the more timely the better. ---ENDS--- DSC_3935 by David Fowler, on Flickr M458 VAJ by David Fowler, on Flickr

My trusty Mitsubishi Spacewagon is up for grabs, it does need some work for the MOT - which I'll go into in a moment. Good points: 7 Seats, interior isn't your usual crayon and boiled sweet covered mess. Runs great, never let me down. Does around 30mpg no matter how its driven. 97k Inconspicuous so GR9 for surveillance work. Bad Points: Needs an MOT - two tyres, ARB link, and the rear arches plating up. Inconspicuous so you can never find it in a car park. I've had this for about a year, bought for transport and a housemove, It goes really well and is clean and tidy apart from a minor dent on the front wing and some rust on the rear arches. Originally bought by a serviceman out in Holland, it then was owned by an old giffer until I bought it last year. Has the usual japanese toys, CD, electrics, trip computer etc. I can't weld and am inheriting my fathers Honda until I find something else. Mr Imp off of here has had a look at the welding and started one arch, but he really doesn't have the time to complete it and I don't want to take up his Sundays forcing him to sit under my car when he could be spending time on his own motors. Would make a good useful loadlugger to someone, I don't need such a big car anymore. Car is in Leeds, currently Taxed and Insured, so book a local MOT and you can drive it away. Any interest? PM me on here or O7576598699

Jon's been let down by the winner of his Ebay auction. I know; surprise surprise, etc. Needs a bit of sparkle-stick attention to the sills, but going cheap. Currently somewhere near Peterborough. Any interest to anyone?

When the pumpkin came up for sale a deal was done which included the sierra so one in one out was a refreshing change for me and it ment no change in garden space. When Sam left I stuck the old gall out the way. Two weeks later I swapped the insurance over from the sierra and to my surprise no charge, since it was now isured and taxed I decided to go for a hurl in my new toy, Hmm it just wouldn't start and was turning over just a bit too slow, one set of jump leads later and still no go, I drained a bit of diesel out of the filter and it's clean enough and a quick call to Sam confirmed it was straight diesel, The only other issue I could see was weeping leak of pipes but shouldn't cause any starting issues, The pumpkin has a new battery new starter new lift pump and filters so very strange, I stuck the battery off the hippo on it and still slow turnover, jump leads again from the now removed battery and she burst into life woopee, It started every time the rest of the day without an issue and even did it's first collection mission without a hitch. The very next day it wouldn't start again damndratbollocks I stuck the jump leads onto the new battery from it and bingo away it went, The battery that was on it was a 70 amp much wallet lightening later we had 90 amps of electric in a box, Of course the darn terminals where opposite way round but luckily the cables where extra long, once I turn the key and send 1.21 jigawatts the auld girl now fires up first time every time, job one done.

Sold

Just picked this up like 5 mins ago. My mate was going to trade it in. He bought it for £2200 in 2015 and it's hardly been anywhere. So I gave him £500 as he didn't want to sell it and it had gathered dust on his drive. Gonna bang it on eBay for £850 and see what happens. But you guys can have it for £550. £50 increase is a drink for me and some for dave for the forum. Don't know if that's cheap or a crap deal. But they seem to fetch decent coin on eBay. It's motd till Dec and has a good lot of history last service in oct 2016. Drives ok. Will give I a good clean as it's filthy. Done 122k. More pics later if anyone is interested or could roffle if enough interest. In Derby Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've decided to have a go selling my mk2 Granada. I really would prefer to keep it tbh but other things are rapidly eating vast sums of my money at the moment so I could do with thinning my fleet out a bit. So, it's a 1985 C reg mk2 2.8 Ghia X estate. Mot'd until 14 July 2017 and tax to get you home. Comes in the delightful shade of Mineral blue metallic with blue velour interior. I've got a log book and it comes with a big wedge of paperwork/receipts etc. The good: MOT'd and tax so you can drive it home and use it immediately. Starts, drives and stops and does all that well too. Regularly serviced and looked after. Interior is blue velour, it's clean and tidy. It's complete and had loads done to it over the last few years including: Set 4 new tyres, all Pirelli branded and as good as new. Auto box shifts perfectly and has had a full oil and filter change within the last 500 or so miles. Brakes are all good, new recon front callipers and pads last year. Rear shoes and cylinders the year before. New bonnet last year, the original was rusted and has been replaced with a used rust free replacement. Rusty front inner wings have all been repaired aswell as various other areas with a new front wing fitted. Windscreen surround has also been treated for rust, rust was all cut away and replaced by new metal. I removed both rear driveshafts and replaced all CV boots and grease about 1000 miles ago. Both front shocks are fairy recently changed. Comes with some spares and bits & pieces. + loads of other stuffs been done over the last few years. The not so good: The paint is poor! It's all waterproof and painted but has had lots of touch ups and paint repairs over the years, the bonnet and wing have been sprayed by aerosol. By no means perfect but it's the right colour all over and weatherproof. The lacquer is peeling badly on the roof. Some rust on both rear arches, it's not an issue yet but might need something doing with them in the next few years depending. I have a pair of saloon arches to go with the car but these are only suitable for half of the arch on an estate. Various dents and marks all around the car. It's not beaten to hell but it is showing it's age now! Underneath is generally good, but there are a few areas of surface rust, nothing MOTable though. Bumpers are a bit rusty. Electric windows are sticky and slow, I've had them all working well but I think the widows rubbers being old and dry are stopping the glass sliding properly. One of the front wheels loses pressure over time, no punctures but it's either the valve or tyre bead that's not sealing very well. I've been pumping it up every few months. Air con not working! Overall, it's a good driver and I've had it since 2008 and not really had much to worry about with it. It's got the 2.8 Cologne V6 with a carb and it drives perfectly well, it's actually surprisingly quick for what it is! The body is pretty solid but it's not much of a looker if I'm honest. I quite like it how it is, but it's a good car to use and improve at the same time, or if you wanted to it's a good base for a full restoration type job or of course leave it as it is to piss off your neighbours/family/other roadusers! I'm confident it'll drive back anywhere with no trouble. The cars located in Waterlooville, Hampshire just off the A3 (not far from Portsmouth). I'm after £850 ONO for this fine steed. I'll get some pics up in a min and some more recent ones this weekend if needed although the cars not changed much anyway! If interested PM me or leave a post and I'll get back as soon as I can.

IT IS SOLD. If i could delete this thread i would.

Firstly, forgive the selection of random old pictures, I will get some up to date ones including the interior this week. The main details Location: Huddersfield, West Yorkshire 1995 Subaru Impreza WRX wagon 205000ish km (about 120k miles) MOT November - no online MOT history before this as I bought it from Northern Ireland Taxed if you're quick All standard except: Cat 1 alarm GPS tracker Z4 ECU (approx 0.8 bar boost and 240hp - standard ecu included) Prodrive backbox and straight through centre pipe (full standard exhaust included with sale) Cambelt and full service done in last year Priceless private plate included Basically there is nothing wrong with this car that I know of. There is no serious grot, there is a bit of rust starting around the windscreen top, will get some pics. Cosmetically it has a few small dings, nothing major. Interior has a few holes that have been stitched back up, I think one of the previous owners had a dog. I love this car but I've had my fun and bought something else. Can be insured on classic with Footman James for <£200 unless you're Jim the crim. Pics: Price: £1500 supplied on these here pictured wheels with legal but supershit tyres that don't hold air for very long 2 additional sets of wheels and tyres available - 15s like this here stock picture but in dark grey flaky paint but with nearly new Kumho winter tyres £150 OMGRARE Legacy GT-B BBS with nearly new Toyo T1-R as per most of the pictures £300 Open to discussion on price for different / all wheels etc. Not really shite money I know, but as cheap as you'll find one of these, and they're getting rare in unruined condition.

I explained on the other thread how due to loss of storage I am offering this fine stead for sale. Far more info here: http://autoshite.com/topic/24242-the-autoshite-spec-triumph-thread/page-1 It's structurally solid and had a lot done on it over the last year including all new caliper/ pads and shoes, a full set of tyres and rims and a load of other stuff (read the thread). Mot is early summer (I can check exact date if it's a deal breaker) and I can sort get you home tax if needed. It's a cracking little car and the inside is a truly gorgeous place to be. I would have no concerns driving it anywhere. Bodywork is mixed and it's far from a concourse winner. Worst part is the front corners of the wings that need a bit work (I used gaffer tape to make them look ok for the mot ). I have enough paint to give the car a quick once over and it's a very good match. It was a cat D due to an impact on the drivers front corner and the repair isn't the best but it's all straight and drives lovely. It owes me a packet and I know I won't get all of it back but I would like to see £850 on a straight sale or £14 a ticket. That doesn't seem a lot to me for a car that can just be started, driven and enjoyed. I will pm the people who expressed interest on the other thread as to roffle tickets. I am happy to do a straight sale but do like the idea of a roffle! If you want any info let me know. Old pic, has nicer wheels and door has been sorted since then. Stereo has gone but I can probably find something more fitting. It's in Tamworth in case you were wondering!

A family friend is selling his Vectra B 2.2 Sport. He has had it since 2005 and I have known it since 2009 and wanted it for all of that time! I have no more space for other cars though and since the Megane cost nothing to get through the MOt I now have spare cash to get the Corsa sorted which I absolutely must do. It is in almost immaculate condition with only a few bubbles on one arch. It is a genuine Opel and not a modified Vauxhall. It has auto air con, cruise control and half leather. 88k miles, 1 year MOT and timing chain was replaced in 2014. He is looking for £750 and the car is located in Bonnybridge. PRICE REDUCED TO £700 after conversations. He is threatening to park it on my drive to see in my wife notices (he know I like the car!) Plus it deserves better than to go to the Facebook market place drongos who are currently lowballing to buggery.

SOLD SOLD SOLD Wotcha shitters. I picked up this barge recently with the intention of getting it back on the road but I've lost interest and I'm having a bit of a clear out. 2.0 diesel hdi 90bhp NO MOT, to get one it will need a small patch on the middle of one sill and there's apparently a leak from the brake valve return pipe which I can't get to leak any LHM. should be an easy fix, just a perished rubber pipe which can be cut back by an inch or so to fix. Possibly other things needed but nothing obvious. 1 owner since 2001 who really looked after it- 240K on the clock, but it looks and drives brilliantly. recent front spheres, rear end re-piped, interior mint, exterior very good, even the rear door shuts are lovely. lacquer on the roof is a bit crazed but looks OK. 5x good michelin tyres. Lots of history. Anybody want to exchange £100 for it?

2003, 1.4 petrol, Pug 206sw. There's a link below with the pictures of it. Its not changed any since then. It drives fine, mot'd until nearly end of September 2017. I think its got about 77k on the clock, its not gone far since the mot in september. Only fault is a slightly worn gear linkage meaning reverse can sometimes be a fiddle to engage. about 1 in 5 times in won't go in, select 4th first and it will go in fine, too cold to go underneath and sort it out. In coventry, taxed to get you home, shiters price is £300 http://autoshite.com/topic/24962-pug-206sw-new-interior-fitted-killed-the-kirby/ Now sold
