How cool is this!

Column shift!

Love these. Torsion bars front and rear, three, four or five speed column shift, massive oddball 3x150(?) pcd...

Newest car I've ever bought!

Every winter I seem to go through a phase of wanting something a little bit newer/modern but have never really found anything I actually wanted until now.

It drives pretty much like an old car.

I've admired those in a "if I were to get something modern it'd be one of those" sort of way. Looks good.

I've looked at them for a few years now and i  can't believe they're still worth 20k at a similar age to that one.  Crazy how well they hold there value really.   I love how they drive though proper old school feel well bought 😉

My Mum had one of the previous model, 13 plate. Bought new , in 2021, it was worth the same.(WBAC quote).

I can’t think of anyone off hand tbh. What area of Stoke has it been recovered to? @sutty2006 is in Stoke too and is an actual mechanic with contacts and stuff. 

@RetroShite

 

google “Precision vehicle repairs” in Newcastle under Lyme. He’s a top bloke and would definitely help you out, he could also put you onto someone to tow it there too. 
 

which recovery firm is it sat with? Mansfields, motorclinic, Jon beech?

It's with Jon Beech at the moment but I don't know if arrangements have been made to just transport it up here and find someone closer to home to have a look at it.

Ok, let me know if you need any assistance. I do know a couple of the recovery lads on there so if I can help in any way let me know.
