The excellence of Autoshite is inversely proportional to the price of scrap metal. Another save

 

 

Nah, Autoshite ignores all economic trends. Its excellence depends on British grit and imagination developed in these mild, windy islands where the finest engineering used to happen regularly, but which was sold off by politicals. We simply pick out what nobody else wants at any particular given moment. Either mingy buggers who don't give a flying fuck or trendsetters for autmotive desire, perhaps both.

 

That a car as complete, running and fine as this one is only worth £50 is a sad reflection on the society and economics we've created. Can't believe there isn't an export trade in these, perhaps it's the lack of numbers?

I'm interested in it for bits, subject to being able to get to it.

 

If anyone wants to buy it, love and cherish it, MoT it, use it etc etc, then as far as I'm concerned they should have priority as it'll mean it lives on. If you want to make twosmoke an offer feel free! :-)

I would say unless you have spare rear upper arms it's a spares car . I did a premot last week and I needs 2 rear arms ( rusted ) at least one front lower arm bush and possibly rear brakes . The drivers window doesn't work either .

If two are coming down then it would make sense to buy my starlet too 😄

S reg , 140 k vigorously parked all over but as reliable as night following day and a fresh ticket yesterday where it had two new tyres

Shiters price 250

Any starlet pics?

 

Maybe be very interested...

I was very tempted until I checked the price of the rear upper arms... I can now see why you consider it a spares car !

I'm sure it would be perfectly safe* to wire brush the rust off the existing arms and patch them up with the MIG using bits of an old washing machine.

White is probably the best colour for those Starlets.  Fresh ticket on it?  Moog, I reckon that would make you a brilliant dog van!  Or, let Mrs Moog have it, it should be an improvement on her Honda, right?

Chompy tried to talk me into this but unfortunately it's Doom Blue (and in Cornwall, and I need a car that needs work like I need an extra hole in my head, and my current Rover is great) and therefore everyone would try and crash into me all the time so I'm OOT.

 

GLWTS!

a better solution for the rover would be to take a trip to a local scrap emporium and buy a second hand back axel.

 

the bits new, if you can get 'em as i think they are NLA and are a fortune to buy...

Anything is better than that flipping Honda! Reliable piece of shit

 

 

Just counting pennies as a Crail car rather than anything else.

As is always said i would have this if nearer. Just for trim clips as they are costing me £££  :shock:

I feel bad about it too, but perhaps i'm getting old because it was the distances involved that ruled me out.
