lovejoy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Am sadly thinking of moving on this, which has served me well, just 47K genuine miles....URL=http://s665.photobucket.com/user/lovejoyantiques/media/IMG_0577_zps38fc9b30.jpg.html][/url] as earlier this year, I purloined this, from Wuvvum, of this parish..... only room for one in the garage, so hastily constructed a tiny carport to keep it sorned under... the 1984 G11 993cc 3 cyl charade is an AUTO !! and having had a brace of 5 speed manuals, I can safely say it is not as quick !! but I think there is a linkage missing on the carb, unsure but there seems to be a secondary venturi that does not have a visible connection to open it,and it's not vacuum operated.That said, it keeps up with Cornish traffic ok, ideal down tiny country lanes, and goes thru mot's with just an advise on front tyres every year (at Kwik-Fit !!!). Offers, please, in a brown paper bag; - go on, you know you want a laff for xmas ! Bamboocarman and brickwall 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Station Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 A few years ago I nearly claimed an abandoned 'CX' but was beaten by the scrap man. It was in green, just like this 12,000 mile one in a local 'specialist' car showroom: (I missed out on this as well). There's no way I can buy another car at the moment, but can you pm what you are looking for? Thanks! brickwall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is Sorned over winter, and locked up behing that Twingo,but it will come out in spring again - when the sun shines down in the We*t country, how far away are you? I do drive it up to Dorset on occasions.... will pm you shortly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 What would be considered reasonable to put into said brown paper bag?How far west of the end of the world in Cornwall are you? Closer to Gloucester, or Cherbourg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 well, on a clear night, you might see a glow in the southern sky from the lights in cherbourg, but the car is actually nearer toNewfoundland, being just a few miles outside of Penzance !As to contents of brown paper bag, well, greenbacks to the tune of what I paid for it would be accepted, which was 300 englishpounds, before they were devalued on the printing press - Zimbabwean dollars NOT accepted though, sorry !

vulgalour Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Consider interest expressed here, but don't hold your breath as we have to wait for a car to sell first. Anyone want a Porsche 944? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigmund Fraud Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Anyone want a Porsche 944?Tell us more ! Everybody loves a van*-engined Porsche ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Porsche 944 was formerly BobtheBeard's, the one he swapped for Mikeknight's Honda Prelude. It needs some cosmetic fettling on the outside (not rust, just minor paint issues), the passenger window doesn't work which we think is down to the switch and it needs the clutch release bearing looking at which seems a bit noisome, we were planning on fitting a new clutch if needed. As is, we're wanting in the region of £1100, new clutch and fully fettled, £1500-1800. I'd like to say we're not in a rush to sell it, but if someone threw a suitable amount of money at us we're not going to stop them taking it away.

SambaS Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I will not buy any more Cornish Charades. Probably unless they are as cheap as the last one. And have a low roof. Fancy a G11 and a G10 to keep the G102 company but haven't as yet managed to score another barn. Untill that day! GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
