CAR FUR SAYLE WOT JACKY CHAN DROV IN LONG XIONG HU DI, YO

[Junkman]

Well, it indeed was used for a stunt:

 

 

 

A VRXL did this and them orl is shit, I have you know.

It has NOT been written off by an insurance! I settled this in cash without making a claim!

 

 

Anyway, this fine motor is still fully functional and comes with a pointless MoT:

 

 

despite it has rot:

 

 

 

 

and dents.

 

It drives like new (honestly) and has only these known faults:

 

- The fuel gauge is temperamental, or rather the opposite, actually - it shows full when you fill it up, but goes to empty after 30 odd miles.

- One of the fan belts is squealing for a while when it's started cold.

- The heater motor only works on the two higher speeds - the two lower speeds don't work.

- The nearside door lock is lose and non-op, it is the victim of an attempt to burglarize the car. Because South London.

 

Everything else works as it should, electric mirrors, front windows, heated rear window, heater, lights, engine, gearbox, central locking, etc etc.

 

 

But in all fairness, put your hand on your heart and tell me you can resist this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yes, the seats are as comfy as they look, believe it, or not.

 

In essence, all the car needs is a bit of cosmetic pimpage, or it would yield a ton of useful spares to keep another one on the road.

Which would be a shame though, because it would be a shame.

 

It still has a tax disc, for those who have that fetish.

 

Please note, that the car will be sold without the wireless!

 

It's located in Stockport, which is not Stockton-On-Tees, Stockstadt, Germany, or Stockholm, Sweden. It's oop narf near Manchasdah.

 

Is £250 too much to ask?

[Junkman]

Now sold to an undisclosed buyer.

This forum is what it never was, or some such.

[forddeliveryboy]

That's how to sell a car. Autoshite perfection!

 

Where did the rear bumper come from in the end?

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Now sold to an undisclosed buyer.

[mercrocker]

Bonus Isle of Wight number plate too!    You could probably sell that to an Over'ner giffer in Shanklin to put on his Ignis.

[Junkman]

Where did the rear bumper come from in the end?

 

It's still the crashed one.

[Jim Bell]

That's the crashed bumper?!

 

That's not very crashed.

[Partridge]

That was quick. Who in their right mind would buy a car with so much DESTRUCTION.

[dugong]

Top bombing. 

[Junkman]

That's the crashed bumper?!

 

That's not very crashed.

 

It's cracked, and the stainless trim is rather mangled.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

[meshking]

All I can add is that Conrad D. Conelrad does not say much, but knows how to buy a car.

[eddyramrod]

This has just been posted in the FB group, apparently available for parts.  Anybody here want a back bumper?

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Well, that's a bugger for me, isn't it? 

 

Where is it?

[Anglevan]

I'd be interested in any bits for my lancer, not after owt specific but always good to keep the parts supply up.

[eddyramrod]

I'm told it's in Gloucestershire.  Check out the AS FB group and have a word with the OP, he'll know more.

[Anglevan]

Stumped at first hurdle as don't do faceache.

[eddyramrod]

I've asked, and here's the message that came back...

 

It's at Harry Bucklands scrap yard on the golden Valley bypass just outside Cheltenham. Can't remember the phone no. Of hand but if you Google it it will come up. It's right next to gchq near enough. Two mins off the m5

 

Good luck!

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Thanks for the info, Eddy!

[philibusmo]

So who's going to go and dismantle that Colt then? If there is no-one willing and closer then I can head up and nab the rear bumper and any other needed bits but I can't store them, my storage space in currently less than nothing.

[vulgalour]

I bet those rear lights are more than 6" high aren't they?

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Hang on, I'll go outside and find out exactly how big they are. 

 

e: 6.5in high
