254575 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Anyone interested in this beauty? only owned this 6 months, 73k miles, Stops and Goes, MOT and Tax both lapsed back in april. I am selling this car as I have run out of room! I usually put stuff up on here dirt cheap so i don't have to deal with the general public, I have other classic cars which I drive more often than this one so unfortunately it has to go This car looks respectable from a few yards. but once you get close you can see it has been subjected to a few slap-dash bodywork repairs. things I have noticed from the few times I have driven it: Exhaust is a little noisy, I am not sure if it has got a hole in it, as these aren't the quietest of exhaustsSteering wheel wobbles up an down a bit,I noticed when I checked the MOT history online that It had been mentioned before.Headlining is sagging a littleWater leaked into the car the only time I left it outside when raining!Autochoke appears not to be working well, have to wait a few minutes before commencing journey I have driven this car about 300 miles in total, with no issues, and at motorway speeds. Now all the bad stuff is out of the way This car has had 4 keepers from new, the keeper before me had owned it since 1992 as you can tell from the MOT history, the car has only done 5000 miles in the last 6 years MOT history 11/04/2012 - 72743 miles06/04/2011 - 72186 miles15/04/2010 - 71505 miles21/04/2009 - 70576 miles24/04/2008 - 69526 miles20/04/2007 - 68784 miles Car is located near Portsmouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Since having it transported from where it is now to the world centre of culture and good taste would vastly outstrip the council tax revenue of Weatherfield, I must ask this question: What would it take to have it MoTed?
