What Shite Do You Currently Have A Hankering For?


Essex V6

Recommended Posts

Been after an mot'ed pre 1995 rover 214/414 or metro with a k series 1.4 twin cam under the bonnet and preferably no cat for a while to tool about in and add a turbo to before the engine goes into my 1100. The only ones left seem to be either perfect and therefore too expensive or have no mot or any reasonable chance of getting through one. I am moving in a month or so and cant store a non-runner until i do but will then have much more car storage space and could buy a basket case to do up. Its a waiting game and i aint a patient person.

My dad owned a B reg 626 in the 1990's Rob, a blue one. He traded in his E reg Rover 820i for it after the head gasket went. Was actually a very good car. Somewhere there's a picture of myself and my cousin posing by her parents MK4 Escort Eclipse, with the 626 in the background. I would have been 5 and she was 1 I think, which puts it about 1996. I'll have to get some better pictures of that 626 that lives near my garage, that's driven by an old guy and has those nice trims.

I have one of those, and may be willing to part with it... It's no engine donor, though. Far too good for that.

Ye Gods! That's a bit spesh! Winning bid - £1290.

 

I bet the top price would have been 50% higher if they'd bothered to wash it.

Quite fancy a late 80s Merc, W210 or W124, because they're "The last of the proper Mercs"
Knowing my luck I'll buy one and it'll be a rusty shitheap just like my W210 (OMGTEHRUSTIESTMERCEVAR) wasn't.

 

Something like this ticks a lot of boxes, especially the interior.
