eddyramrod Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Not many people here will have the money, but... you saw it here first! I've had Huggy almost two years now and it's probably time he got some better care, like an indoor garage for a start! We've now got a new pump on the screenwashers, so they work, and it'll come with a new MoT, regardless of exemption. £6000 to a Shiter. dome and Dirk Diggler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 GLWTS Eddy. It’s a bloody good solid car this, one which can be used regularly (as it has been!) if you can afford the fuel!I’d love it but I don’t think I can fit two land yachts on the drive together. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 NOOOOOOOOO! I can't believe you are selling. It's gorgeous. I fear this is even longer/bigger than the Dolllop and I have enough trouble finding spaces to park that. If it's still available in a few weeks if/when I get my life sorted out (which will never happen - I've been trying for years!) I will get back to you. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanImp Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 If you're after another, I've just seen this slightly more modern one for sale. Owned by an old lady too by the looks of it. Seller seems nice. Possibly works in law enforcement. MorrisItalSLX, 59Impala, Sigmund Fraud and 25 others 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 In truth it's about 19 feet long and 6'8 wide. So most garages won't be big enough. Uncle Jimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Spares & Tyres Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I've driven one of these, they aren't awkward to drive as you would think. Great brakes and visibility. LHD not an issue, I've had several, you get used to it within a few minutes. If you live somewhere flat i bet the mpg would be ok too. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Jimmy Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 No doubt they were fitted with emissions kit to the carb(s), distributor. Modifying that can result in BIG improvements in MPG and powah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 No doubt they were fitted with emissions kit to the carb(s), distributor. Modifying that can result in BIG improvements in MPG and powah!This being a 73 it’s a bit early for all the emission control crap, it was later 70’s stuff all that started really restricting output. I’m not 100% sure about this car but my Mercury (also 73) has no emission control gear whatsoever. It can vary though depending on the state the car originally came from. California cars might very well have more than most others. Some even had cat converters back then.I don’t think this car has any of that stuff?

Felly Magic Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 If Eddy bought a GMC van, he could paint it grey over black, with a red stripe, and call every one a 'foo' and how he pitted them lol Junkman, danthecapriman, Slartibartfast and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Yay, you can see the family resemblance of the CF & GM vans too, and GM kept building them long after the death of the CF as well.
