Cavcraft Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Ricky, I think you're going to need more details and pictures to stand a chance of selling it. Location, tax, MOT, a few pictures etc would really help your cause.
Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I think its that white one that Volkssangyl posted in the eBay thread

Cavcraft Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Rolls Royce ownership would probably explain the 'CA' numberplate which was Cheshire issued iirc.
rickyv8 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 yeah on gumtree, good solid car with every spare possible with it
MikeKnight Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I totally would've bought this if I hadn't already gone out and got a Rover 200. Budget blown.
vulgalour Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 See if he'll do a swapsies! That would be frickin awesome. Not that I'm bias or anything >.>
CreepingJesus Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Anybody wants it checking out, I'm not far away, and I've got some time this week.
whitevanman Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I have a whole lot of Princess love going on in my life just now, but I can't justify yet another project......
MikeKnight Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Me either whitevanman otherwise I'd have it in a flash. Got the rover 200 because it was immaculate and only 400 notes with no problems, and I understand the k series engine inside and out. No idea about the o series engine and a Princess would require a great deal more love and attention which I just cannot spare right now.
rickyv8 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 there seems to be a lot of love for this car lol its not a bad car, and comes , as you would have seen, every spare part possible some are new, it wouldnt need that much to put back on road, the next step is to mot and see if it needs anything which i cant imagine it does, as i have had it up on a ramp and checked it all over, suspension bushes and brakes are all ok and underneath is very solid, even for the spares its still worth the money, its almost two cars your gettin lol
vulgalour Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Believe me, I want it, I'm just in no position at all to buy it. I even have space to put it, though I'm not sure why I'd need 2 Princesses thankfully I have nobody I'd need to justify such a decision to if I made it. I really, really hope you find a buyer as it's a top price for what's on offer. Have you tried putting it through the Princess forum: http://www.freeyabb.com/leylandprincess ... ndprincess
rickyv8 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 yeah its on the forum but no one has even offered a £1 for it!! id have thought even for the spares it would be worth it for someone the price is negotiable too!!
vulgalour Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 I can offer you some buttons, that's a bit like currency :/ It really is a car that's come up at the wrong time for me but if (and it's a big if) it's still about when I've got a new job and am a bit more financially solvent I will definitely give you a call as it is a very attractive proposition. I wish you all the best with the sale, it really deserves to find a new home with an enthusiast.
MikeKnight Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Get your brother to buy it as his car, volksangyl. Then just strip it for parts to fix yours during the night and leave it on bricks.
Guest Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 My dad's shite brown Princess seemed to go better when he was driving it at 80 plus on the wrong side of the road when pished up. Ahhh, the 1970s.....
rickyv8 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 see you have good memories of them!!! lol thats why its a quality car to buy!!!
rickyv8 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 hi i have now resprayed the car but not mot'd it, will take some photos tomorrow but car is still for sale but will need a bit more money for painting it due to paint and materials i am a spray painter in the motor trade so it has been painted in a booth and proper primer and paint has been used to do job
dollywobbler Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 To be honest, I think getting it MOTd is going to be the way forward. Us wussy southerners look at a car like that and the distance away and think "how am I going to get that home?" An MOT opens up the possibility of a ridiculous roadtrip, as well as upping the cash you'll get.
rickyv8 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 i will try to get an mot on it if you are interested in the car with an mot let me know 07866847572 tax we can negotiate something
MikeKnight Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Looks fantastic, makes me wish I had £1k floating about.
dollywobbler Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Aye. A much better prospect. I'd borrow a proper camera, get some nice shots of it and lob it on somewhere like Carandclassic. Unless someone on here's got a grand sitting around. I sadly haven't! Good pictures will sell a car.
