Negotiations have opened...

Chassis Number 458. Generail Inauria's  (Head of the KGB in Georgia) personal car.

 

Back streets of Tiblisi.

 

 

What could possibly go wrong?

Death by poisoned umbrella?

[Pete-M]

That's ACE! 

[Junkman]

Whoa!

[Skizzer]

FUGGIN' A!

 

Good luck - I assume you're not negotiating directly with the Georgian KGB?

[privatewire]

Astounding!

[nigel bickle]

Early days -still sounding each other out.

 

I've got a reasonable description ,and a good understanding of why its for sale (-albeit with a wildly optimistic price).

 

My concern was the issue of getting it home; but I've established that I can container it to the UK -probably a load cheaper than driving it back, which seemed the only viable option until yesterday.

 

So, it may happen. Its going to take a while -but its a definite maybe right now.

 

I'll play the long game. I doubt I'll have much competition, unless Putin decides Georgia is next on the agenda!

[cms206]

FUCKING NORAH!

[dollywobbler]

That'll be quite an A-frame mission. Astonishing.

[Bucketeer]

You are winnar of bestestest idea for car acquisition mission 2014

[Split_Pin]

Sinister car and sinister sounding acquisition mission, just how it should be for this kind of car.

 

Autoshite level: Biblical.

Sweet! Proper car!

 

Is it bullet proof or anything? Im sure some of these type of commie barges had gun slots and filtration systems built into them.

[Cheggers]

Wow, that is seriously impressive. How sure are you of the cars provenance?

Details still thin -gut feeling is that the seller is hiding something.

 

Bulletproof -dunno, but if he can prove it was that General's - quite likely.

 

Provenance?  Told he holds a Reg Doc -but I'm investigating if that proves ownership.

 

Seems I can get it containered for around £750 (plus all the usual loading costs etc) -so I think an escrow payment is needed here.

 

Time will tell -I guess.

[eddyramrod]

That clang you just heard was my jaw bouncing off the floor.  Marvellous.  Seriously marvellous.

[tooSavvy]

.. will the [inevitable] fingernails you find in the ashtay belong to:-

 

a) a former keeper [wash and polish geek]

 

b.) a former informant on the sovietski

 

c) the guy who currently owns it, but his wife doesn't like him doing them in the Bogg

[mercrocker]

That's the Iron Curtain equivalent of finding one of Elvis's Fleetwoods in the lube bay of a long-forgotten Memphis gas-and-go.  

As such I am extremely impressed!

[chaseracer]

That'll be quite an A-frame mission. Astonishing.

 

Will you tow it back with the Barkas or the ZAZ, Nige?

 

[Cheggers]

This has "Autoshite - The Movie" written all over it, with Nicholas Cage playing Nigel Bickle and Vinnie Jones playing Mikeski Brewervich with a cod Russian accent. I'd pay to see it.

OMG! I think Autoshite has just been won permanently.

Very very well done sir. I hope the purchase and transport goes smoothly.

And about 85 bhp no doubt...

 

That's actually not a bad looking motor by Eastern Bloc standards.  Could be the bastard offspring of a mid-'70s Cadillac and a Tatra 613.  Good luck with the negotiations - would be great to see the sinister beast on these shores.

[oman5]

 That is incredible. 

[Cavcraft]

It will actually be the coolest car ever.
