Six-cylinder Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 I do , I do! The original Visa GT ones were metric TRX and tyres are unobtainable/expensive. Visa convertibles and others used a non metric size, which are yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largactil Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I'll have a look in the daylight - One of the lads from the Visa club gave me them for my LNA, so I'm not sure what they came off...(!) Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 I have got a 2CV, used to own a modern Fiat 500, but have never had a Volvo Amazon. I like the looks of the Amazon and have driven several including a 123 GT, but one has never popped up and said buy me! All our cars have a story of how we ended up with them and up to now I have not really had a limit on how many low cost cars I can have as Mrs 6C loves cars. I have enjoyed low cost barn rental, trouble is I have just been told the site has been sold for development and I have to go, so some changes have to be made.

xtriple Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I love Visas! Had an 11 TRE (maybe I get confused with Citroen designations easily) and it was red, quirky, small and an absolute blast to tear arse around in. I was a bit concerned when a great chunk of filler fell out of the front left corner of the roof just above the windscreen and closer examination showed it had been involved in a 'bit of a whoopsy!' so unsaleable. Never mind, it lasted for years happily trundling around and was a 'loan' car to all and sundry. Never went rusty (shock horror!) was totally reliable and did about 50mpg regardless of how it was driven. It did get looked after though, serviced frequently and washed weekly (had someone to do that sort of thing when I couldn't be arsed!) and was eventually sold (or given to, can't remember) one of its frequent borrowers. I'd love another, but they don't do autos! Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 How thirsty is a Xantia V6 3 Ltr? I don't think it is too bad, but then I am used to towing with a Range Rover! The Visa GT collection was 382.2 miles all but 5 miles were towing, half empty and half loaded resulted in 23.3 mpg. I took advantage of my 4 mph legal speed advantage over lorries and passed many. I used full power when required and it will accelerate on any motorway hill loaded, so no economy run. Not towing I get about 27 mpg and Mrs 6C around 30 mpg. oldcars, Skizzer, RobT and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
