For Sale Mk1 Fjord Sierra 2.0 Gheehaa slushomatic withdrawn from sale!!!

[JohnK]

Can no other London shiters recommend a decent, shite friendly mot station ?

[purplebargeken]

I take the cars to my mate as it gives him business and he loves older stuff. He is very good and is mega sensible when it comes to the older car. The rest round here are shite. Plus he hates charging me for doing the odd bit here and there as we help each other out as and when. A bloody good mate.

Hope the deal works out; picturing one of trigger's old style pics with cortina, sierra and dolomite lined up on the drive like its 1983!

[purplebargeken]

Change of plans folks. Such is life

 

So, does anyone want to line my palm with sufficient beer tokens for this lovely Sierra?

 

MOT is scheduled for next week.

 

Might be tempted by a part-ex and some cash my way.

 

What would I like? Feck knows. I appear to be on an MPV roll, have decided no Rovers, done that now although they are lovely. MG version, possibly.

 

I dunno, surprise me

[purplebargeken]

It's a nice Sierra.

[Cavcraft]

I wish I had something/plus enough money to have this, I need to get to London soon anyhow and what better excuse?

[trigger]

I'm going through a bit of a funny phase at the moment, feeling unenthusiastic, high stress and feeling a bit panicky over silly things, Christ knows what's wrong with me, probably new born baby blues but any way I did really want this but as the weeks have gone by I've started to have doubts over the autobox, once the novelty of a new car has passed I'm going to end up resenting this i think, I'll probably feel better in a few days and decide that I want to again but at the moment it's best I don't.

 

Just a shame it wasn't a manual really, as everybody knows that when your feeling down the best way to cheer yourself up is to buy a new car!

Who needs anti-depressant medication and cognitive behaviour therapy, just buy a car. Simples. 

[purplebargeken]

What have you got then Billy?

[purplebargeken]

You know you want this you bastards

Do a reverse Stixy and convert it to manual. 

 

I'm sure he has loads of manual boxes & pedal boxes lying around.

 

Profit?

[RoadworkUK]

I think you should get in touch with English Heritage or the Heritage Lottery Fund or whoever to see if you can get sponsorship to squirrel it away to be preserved for future generations.

 

Or at least until Trigger wants an automatic.

[garbaldy]

Did you say this was booked in for mot?

 

also I've sent you a PM

[purplebargeken]

Hiya, yes it is. All being well, Weds is the day

 

I will respond shortly good Sir.

[purplebargeken]

Still available for sale or swappage folks

[Stixy]

The 3 speed auto's are generally good boxes  and either work or they dont  unlike the later 4 speed ones .

[purplebargeken]

Well it got it to London from North Yorkshire without any drama

[JohnK]

It went from mine to Sunderland and then back down past mine on that journey as well - FJ picked it up the night before and took it home with him.

[purplebargeken]

Even betterer.

 

Oh come on someone, get this bought. You know you want to. 

[Stixy]

Everybody is waiting the outcome of the Mot  

 

I like it but its the time involved with a roadtrip that stops me at the moment .

[purplebargeken]

I don't think the MOT is going to be a major problem. I fixed the headlights and the underneath is lovely.

[purplebargeken]

The worst thing will be getting it out of the garage due to 'parking in front of garage despite big sign on garage door cunts'.

[purplebargeken]

Possible interest expressed

[Cavcraft]

x2 if you decide you want a 405TD estate!

I know its nice to keep stuff like this in the AS fold but is there not a Ford lickers forum where someone would pay £1000000000 cos 80s ford in white?

Yep, http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/ipb/index.php?/index maybe worth a try if nothing works out here.

 

It will be a shame if it leaves this forum, but if it's got to be sold the best thing is for it to go to someone who will look after it, here or not.

I'd love it myself but I'm at my max car wise with some bills coming my way for my Capri to be sorted.

 

Hope it sells soon Ken.

[purplebargeken]

Well she went for MOT and passed. There were 3 advisories. One for a small split in one of the steering rack gaiters, two advisories for a bit of rust in both sills at the rear end.  We bodged a battery restraint, it seems like I missed the proper one in the door pocket 

 

Steam engine mate/MOT prep person and MOT tester pronounced that it is a good'un and will make a lovely car when done. 

 

Yet again I was on the receiving end of a bit of a bollocking for even thinking about the Sierra. I have been persuaded to give it another chance. 

 

Watch this space I guess. Apologies to those interested parties. 

[garbaldy]

so your not selling it anymore because it needs work ? or you have decided there is nothing else you fancy trying so best keep what you know.
