Someone is getting a Car for a pint - TONIGHT!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Time for the swift to move on. Absolute hoot to drive (given me my first speeding ticket in 6 years).

It is pretty much a new car, with hardly any miles on it. 1.0 is pretty quick off the line although 80mph can get noisy!

Cheap insurance, 40 mpg make it a good runabout.

No abs or power steering to get in the way of a focused driving experience.

The good

X reg swift 1.0
Mot till June
39k from new
Manual
Go faster red (so quick some of the paint has been torn off)
Electric Windows
Brand new battery
New front discs and pads (less than 2 miles on them)
Decent tyres - Rainsports (3 are pretty new)
Sony stereo
2 keys
Handbook and invoices

The Challenges

1 of the tyres popped of the rim. I swapped on the spare but it will need reseating before going back on the car
Front and rear bumpers have lost some of their paint
Windows occasionally pop off the runners (will try to fix if it stops raining)
Front wings have got scrapes. Spare pass included in sale.

Aside from the bumpers it is such a straight car, barely worn in.

Located in Accrington although if someone down south wanted it this week i may be able to deliver.

£300 - shiters payment scheme available

You got a speeding ticket in one of these? Good going. Also no shit 80mph is noisy, you're doing 4k RPM at that point. Out of curiosity, how many miles did you do before filling the tank (if you filled right up each time)?
 

How much BHP are these? And how heavy?

 
52bhp at 5700rpm & 76 Nm at 3300rpm, 0-60 is apparently 16 second and the top speed supposedly 90mph, but I don't really believe that. In this spec probably around 800kg. Handbook says 745kg to 935kg for the 3 door hatch.

Always up for a Roffle if there is interest.

 

Mpg was slightly worse than 1.3 due to gearing, was getting 40 mpg round town but tank is tiny!

I think performance figures are irrelevant with this. The 3 cylinder awesomeness purring away like a cat with mumps makes you feel like you're screaming around at the ragged edge even when you're just pottering through B+Q carpark.

I've driven it all of 20yards and can confirm that the interior is absolutely mint. It really does feel like a new car. I can also confirm that it is (mostly) red.

Did someone say Roffle?  I'm in!  The last time I won a car from Moog Roffles Ltd it did daily duty for me all through the winter, including the Cadillac collection.  I can therefore vouch for the quality of the goods supplied.

More than happy to Roffle. Is there any interest at £4 a ticket - 4 for £15

Posted

At that price, I'll take 4, 16, 38 and 59 please!

Posted

The power to weight is the similar to a proper old style Panda!

Posted

Surely this'd be ideal for Bub? I'll have some roffle tickets if it goes that way though.

Posted

Can someone do the Roffle numbers?

 

I am on my phone so can't do them here.

 

I offered it to Bub a while back but I think it is too small for his needs b

Posted

How urgency would collection have to be undertaken? Is there premise for personage collexsionz from Manchester station for someone who has to travel?

Posted

If it sells then happy to hold on to it for a while.

 

Preston would be best I could do train collection wise. I may even be able to drive it to Edinburgh/Kinross if that helped someone (they would have to insure it though)

Posted

I would therefore purchase a singular ticket of LOSING, given the above post, which quite clearly guarantees me a fully serviced impeccable motor vehicle with twelvety-seven stamps in the service book and a chauffeur-driven taxi service from the nearest tubular-bus station.

 

Many thankolas.

I will start a Roffle numbers. I am happy either way.

 

£4 a ticket or 4 for £15
