Sold Telling you about Vectras. Here's one SOLD

[Cavcraft]

In an (un)surprising moment, I'm selling a Vauxhall. This time it's, well, it's this...

 

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161675704780?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

 

 

..as it's now mine. Ignore the previous owner's price, the Autoshite buy-it-now special is...

 

£180

 

....he tells me if you top the brake fluid up it'll be ok to drive away, that of course would be up to any buyer to decide for themselves. Come and get it from Chester, no lottery auction for this one, sorry.

LAAARG!!! I really like these Vectras! Its even got Vextras such as floor mats and rubber boot liner. I recently drove a diesel version that bodge-it man Steve has for sale. It was a nice car.

Are you feeling okay KGB603?  I think you might be butt-posting with your phone.

[drum]

I'm not surprised that join* is leaking. Looks like it's flapping around too.

 

Easy fix right enough. Bargain at £180.

Excitement clearly has the better of him.

[Keymaster]

Wtf happened there?! Sorry about that.

I'm on tapatalk on a phone I don't really understand. Which probably explains everything!

 

Have a picture of a cat in a campervan as way of an apology

 

[Richard]

That compression joint shouldn't be leaking, they've made an arse of fitting it. I've used one like that in a much higher pressure application and it didn't leak.

[purplebargeken]

Jesuz H Christ Billy, I wish you'd get something interesting in auto flavour that I could buy off you in monthly instalments. Sheesh!

[Bren]

My mate drove his cortina for weeks with no brakes - the handbrake was utilised at every opportunity.

 

Eventually his luck ran out....

[andy18s]

Please tell me you swapped that shitty 125 you bought,for the Vectra ?????

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Looks alright that for 180. They're pretty rare now those old crates.

[Cavcraft]

It's really sad I suppose, but one of my greatest car collection trips was buying one of these from a great lad from Retro-Rides in Doncaster, or somewhere near there. I got the train up, he picked me up in his car and when we got to his house the Vectra wouldn't start as the battery was flat! He had to follow me to the garage so I could leave it running whilst I fuelled it up.It drove home an absolute treat and did me a very good turn. 

[Station]

has all the toys, they all work, elec windows, heated seats electric sunroof, climate control

 

cruise control an on the list goes.

Does the list go on, or is that it?

[cort16]

The estates look so much better then the hatch I recon.

My best no brakes story I have is a guy who bought an audi from me with no brakes and tethered it to the front of his transit. He then drove it into inner city glasgow with just the transit doing his braking. Amazingly he didn't die

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

That's a really nice car, and a 1999 is an arselift model when they sorted out the shitness of the original.

 

GR6 Valyou.

[Pillock]

I would.

 

I'm not going to, but that looks alright doesn't it? I had a saloon SRI140 which was a belter, but it was silver and rusted a bit quicker than I'd have liked.

[Cavcraft]

I might have something interesting in manual FLAVA soon.

Tell more, Billington.

[Split_Pin]

That X20xev engine is a great old lung. Mine pulled great no matter the weight of the load in it.

[Cavcraft]

Tell more, Billington.

Staying schtum at the moment, in case it doesn't come off, but I'll just say it's more the sort of thing you'd appreciate more than I would.

[Cavcraft]

Last owners says it's leaking under pressure and he wouldn't drive it for a longish journey, but reckons if you could be arsed stopping to top it up as often as needed it should be ok.

I might have the alloys off it and weigh it in if nobody wants it.

[sierraman]

It looks like it wants anchoring to the bodywork properly as well as its hanging. I'd be tempted to start again with that brake pipe for sake of a length of Kunifer

Yeah those alloys look tidy. What you reckon those are worth? £100?

[Cavcraft]

I'd have thought so. I think they're 16" too, so will fit my C.

[Cavcraft]

I've just been to see this and what a waste if it gets weighed off. Loads of handobooks and stuff, plus two keys...

 

 

[Partridge]

I agree it's a shame The Mrs would kill me/I'm broke/If only I had the space/it's so expensive to cover for what it is etc etc etc.

[Cavcraft]

I went to view this (again) last night to leave the key and the logbook. The scrap man picked it up today whilst I was at work, and even I have to say it was a sorry end for a cracking looking car.

 

Oh well, sentiments don't feed my family.

[Partridge]

I hope you're happy. It leaves behind a family. Mother and Father (A Cavalier and a Carlton) a wife (An Astra) and it's son, Adam.
