Guest Breadvan72 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I bought this 1983 HPE IE (two litre engine, fuel injection, five speed manual, PAS, lecky windaz) as a spares mule for my HPE VX, but have just been offered a complete VX for 450 with blower intact, which is totes bargs, so I need to free the space, and the IE is a saveable car, in my un expert opinion. The engine starts and runs, first gear tried, others not, brakes a tad sticky from standing, Body rusty but not beyond saving. Interior needs a retrim (the cloth is available) but the clocks all work. Five good alloys, shit tyres. V5 present. 100 Quid. Uber rare car, and could be worth 3-4K restored. Located in South Oxfordshire close to junctions 5 and 6 M40.
Guest Breadvan72 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Restored, it could look like this - urpert 1
skattrd Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 I can't say I'm not seriously tempted as 500 is cheap, but if I bought another Lancia whilst I'm out of the country my B-I-L may lose his patience with me. GLWTS G. It shouldn't hang around long at that price. Tbh I was looking for an ie when I bought the vx. Ie should be reasonably economical to run, for a 30year old Italian motor
Partridge Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I really want that but I better stick to plan a of buying a Jaaaaag this year. PS: NIYSE CAR M8 BUT 2 FAR 4 ME UNLE55 U WANNA HOLD IT 4 ME INTIL NEXT YEAR AND EEL GIV U £70 K M8?
Guest Breadvan72 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 70 K? Deal. I have witnesses! beko1987 and Bobthebeard 2
wuvvum Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I paid £150 for my (MoT'd and running) HPE. Almost identical to yours, except it was Y-reg and flat blue. That was 13 years ago mind. Still one of the best-handling front-drive cars I've ever owned.
Skizzer Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 OI M8 U R posting phoatoes of my car on da internet, innit! I hope you know a good lawyer ............ oh. I am an obvious candidate to buy this as I have just bought its (superficially?) less scabby sister, but I have no room whatsoever now. If someone breaks it, I might be after the tailgate as it has a wiper and appears to be less bubbly than mine.
Guest Breadvan72 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 250 quid anyone? Cd be a fine and uber rare car if restored.
Parky Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 No buyers? Tsk, this sites not what it used to be etc etc
Lankytim Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 If you get a van to reverse into it I'll take it away for free. laser wheels, beko1987, HillmanImp and 3 others 6
Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I have had a ratch about under this, it'll need a tickle of course and plenty of recommissioning but is far from hanging, and would make a class daily (PAS and fuel injection). I will give it a 100% BO11OX COMMENDATION Skizzer and beko1987 2
michael1703 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 how quickly do you need it gone? I could send funds accross but couldnt collect it too quickly
John F Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I've passed details on to Captain Flimble (occasionally of this parish), who might be able to make one good HPE out of this and the one he's currently got.
Guest Breadvan72 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 UP SKIRT PRON shots courtesy of Meeester Bollogues, his camera. Need space - will take a oner for heap.
skattrd Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Oh bugger, that's too cheap.I may have to get some delivery quotes for that G. Who was it on here that does car shifting? I'd be looking to get it to LN4 3QT.
chaseracer Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Who was it on here that does car shifting? I'm not sure DUGONG DELIVERY SERVICE can help in this instance...
skattrd Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 G can you pm me your post code so I can try Scruff for a quote please.
Guest Breadvan72 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 OX49 5SG and Scruff has been here twice, so he knows the way. NB this is a MAJOR project. Car complete except for wipers and two lights. I can put you in touch with a source of retrim fabric for the seats. Steering column currently in bits but all bits present. Wheels alone worth well over 100 quid. Italian suppliers good source for wings N stuff.
urpert Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Breadvan, I am in constant envy of your rare shite acquisitions and disposals. Hope this one finds a good home.
Guest Breadvan72 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Rarity is what presses my buttons. My 1300 Coupe is well knacked, but vanishingly rare. That's why I used to have weird stuff like Europas and Murenas and shiz like that. MUST ... RESIST.... BUYING ... AN ... ECLAT urpert 1
