Any car that you have to service more often than you fill up is 

 

French.

[nacho man]

The door cards in this were tan and meant to be black, also some nit wit has painted the rear interior panels with tan paint to hide the

 

So for the door cards I was lazy and didn't even take them off, wiped them down with some alcohol wipes and then just banged a coat of halfords vinyl spray on.

 

Looks bleeding brand new. Gonna see how it drys and give it some stick to make sure it don't peel off or ote. And will be a result if it stays as it is.

 

Also put some millers 20w-50 in and a new filter to keep the Essex happy.

 

 

[Fabergé Greggs]

Hurrah! here's mine:

 

 

Had tubular manifolds and adjustable coilovers. Sounded and went great, and went sideways like no other. I also found footwell cramped, simply couldn't drive it in a pair of DM's. Overdrive box and the change was totally honking. 

[nacho man]

Looks good. It did surprise me how quick it was really, dead torquey. 

 

 

I like how they fit a foot rest for your left foot, but you can't rest your foot on there as there is about 0.4 microns of a gap to get it past the clutch.

[nacho man]

Yo crew! anyone wanna buy this fantastic piece of machinery.

 

£1600 firm.

 

Has had new oil and filter, new fuel pump new anti roll bar mountings.

 

General tidy up.

 

Runs ace, paint work a 5ft special.

 

Interior shabby shic.

 

It's motd till sometime in the future.

 

Tax free.

 

 

 

 

 

In notts at the moment at my dads, but can be brought up to derby no problemo.

Am informing a chap of my chaply acquaintance of the purchasability of this fine vehicle.  Will need to check import duties for Yorkshire, as he lives there.  Will also check that roads invented there.  Not sure.   Princess Bubblegum, you say?  Is the black bin liner stuck to one wheel included in the deal?

[DSdriver]

I love that random coloured interior. It is an effect that I am trying to perfect in my cars.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Bonnibel Bubblegum approves this car.

[nacho man]

If it's a deal breaker I can throw in a bin bag.

It should not have a clutch.

 

 

Will need to check import duties for Yorkshire, as he lives there.

Who on earth would want to import Yorkshire???

[omegod]

Bit late but it looks like TUT 60H died in 1984

[nacho man]

Motd till March 2016.

 

4 speed non overdrive.

 

Slight clunking from the front but nothing seems to have fallen off or will fall off. (probably)

 

Went on a good blast a few weeks ago all round derbyshire and it's ace, I got hot in traffic on the way back but this warrior didn't, (kenlowe fan)

 

Stainless tank fitted.

 

Some braided hoses.

 

Meant to have a piper cam.

 

New callipers for the mot this year.

 

Heater blower doesn't work. Heater does though.

 

A few other little niggles I can't remember but mechanically sorted and nothing too drastic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if you're lucky next year it might be worth £1650. 

[Skizzer]

Have a Sunday evening bump back to page 1.

 

Only just seen this - very nice. Looks good value too, most of these you see for sale look fairly shagged paint/body-wise and are little or no cheaper.

[Inspector Morose]

Of to my tame insurers tomorrow.

[HillmanImp]

I am after one of these at some point in the not to distant future but sadly have other more pressing issues at the moment, that means haphazzardly bodging together 1970s cars with metal from fridges, pop bottles and Dulux gloss are put aside for my current full (spare) time job of lashing together 1970's houses with Isopon, gaffer tape and cable ties.

 

GLWTS. 

[nacho man]

Buy this before it becomes a home for stray cats.

[Guest Breadvan72]

One of the things that I love about all or most Princess Annemobiles is the sheer shonkiness of the dash.   Looked like a bag of spanners when new, and age just improves* things.

[coalnotdole]

The crazy thing about the Se5a (post 1972) Dashsboard is that it replaces a prefectly attractive and functional and attractive 1960's styled one...

 

If you bought an early GTE between 1969 till 71 it had the same dash as the Scimitar GT, Its a fibreglass shell padded with leathercloth*

 

 

*ok its just cheap vinyl.

 

Presumably they changed it as part of a push to faclift the interior for the 1970's and a means of streamlining production, (the new facias were crap mass produced injection moulded plastic instad of hand layed grp. This is why they all cracked and went brittle center consoles were made the same way and they are shit too. To compensate for the crapness of the new interior plastics buyers could have a free choice of interior colour (though the only options were black and tan.)

 

Scimitars still had a decent following in the 80's and early 90's and back then you could actually buy a fibreglass upgrade for the dash and console. They are really hard to find now though... I've got them in my 72 5a:

 

 

Its a decent improvement on the standard one, even if it does still look a bit like Darth Vaders helmet!

 

ps brochure pervs may enjoy looking through the rest of the brochure shots here: http://www.sporting-reliants.com/ScimitarSE5_brochures.htm

[nacho man]

Yo check me out.

 

Well had this on ebay and it was going maaaaad in the bidding department. Some bloke turned up on my doorstep tonight and paid me £1900 when I only wanted £1600. 

 

RESULT.

[Jim Bell]

Youre doing it wrong!

[Joey spud]

Well sold.

 

 

Excuse the mess,here's the dash in my '71 Scimitar.a bit bland but a nice place to sit while waiting for it to cool down.
