Sold Volvo 440 GLE - £101.90p

[Guest Lord Sward]

Fucking hell don't raffle it.  My missus would kill me if I won.  And I'd have to visit that south to collect it.

[trigger]

I think even I would have a bid if you raffled it!

[seacow]

I'll have 2 numbers if we go that way!

[Ghosty]

Count me in...

[sporty-shite]

I'll have 7, 8, 13 & 25 if it goes to raffle.

[Jim Bell]

I'll have numbers.

[cms206]

Don't raffle it, I'll end up buying tickets and winning the sodding thing!

My luck has changed and I'm a changed man after Puntogate.

 

At £2.50 a ticket I'd have ten tickets, but Angyl talks sense... ish.

 

Hmmm.

[purplebargeken]

I would also have numbers.

Raffle for a car I have no space or need for? Put me down for 9 and 11...

[RobT]

I think JohnK is having it, but if not then it'll be raffle time! Better that than scrap it.

[JohnK]

Deposit sent. Fucks sake I need to find somewhere to put it now.

[KruJoe]

John, where in N.Yorks are you?

I can offer free outdoor off-the-road storage for a week or two.

[RobT]

Sold at last! Thanks John.

[Partridge]

Nice work guys

[Tetleysmooth]

Will there be another epic collection thread?

[RobT]

I hope he has some coat tassels left, but it should be fine.  Must remember to empty the boot of crap as I've been using it as a mobile parts storage solution recently.

[stillOrange]

I'm a bit disappointed that it didn't end up being raffled.

 

Good luck JohnK! You've got yourself brilliant shite for very little money!

[inconsistant]

No posts yet confirming this place IS what it used to be? This place isn't what it used to be.

[JohnK]

I hope he has some coat tassels left, but it should be fine.

I've got cable ties for this one... Bought some to secure ABS wiring on the truck at the weekend so I will bring them with just in case!

 

Looking at a £10 megabus ticket at the moment to stay on the budget side of things! Collection thread impending ...

[vulgalour]

Hooray!  I don't have to buy a raffle ticket for a car I don't want or need.

[Guest Lord Sward]

Just rejoice at this news!

[JohnK]

12quid Megabus ticket, £5 quid train ticket all booked for Monday. I must be a fool to do a collection on a bank holiday but nevermind!

[JohnK]

Incidentally, I only paid £100 for my last 440. Back in 2008...

But it's cheaper because it's not Jewish Racing Gold.. It's a £1.90 option

[JohnK]

http://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk states it is technically Beige.

Therefore, I can only determine that £1 is inflation, 40p is optional cost for Gold, 50p is the optional cost for recording this as coffin dodger beige...

By strange coincidence back in 2008 I was running around in a blue calibra, reg N140VPY

[JohnK]

I believe PY is a Carlisle registration, so straight up the M6 for you and across the A66 for me. Easily done when selling on I guess.

[JohnK]

 

Played it cautious based on the fact it will no doubt end up laid up for a week or so whilst I sort the inevitable issues.

 

All ready to rock and roll now (if I sleep this booze off!)
