Wanted £400 worth of Topless Filth

[BorniteIdentity]

How's this for Man Maths and Logic?

 

I've just sold the Yellow Cabriolet of Love for a combined total of £696.  I've just had two of four work contracts come to an end, so fiscal tightening should really be a priority.

 

HOWEVER.  If I put £700 into the bank, it will get spent on stuff.  That's what happens.  You can't QUITE remember what it went on, but soon enough you're left with an empty bank account and an empty driveway.

 

So, to save me from myself, I'm going to 'reinvest' the money quickly.  However - I really can't spend the whole lot on another car, not whilst the Sierra bASe has a rear quarter that's now rusted through.  I'd also like to get the proper bASe wheels fitted up with some vaguely rubbery tyres.

 

Here's the criteria

 

• £400.  Absolutely top.  I'm being strict with myself for once.  I lost more than this on the 306, so it makes it disposable
• A bit different/quirky/ AS
• East Anglia.  We've all travelled the length of the country to buy something shit - but i've already got that badge of honour.
• MOT.  I am physically sick of testing cars (I've done 6 in 2 months).
• UPDATE: Prolly needs to be topless having enjoyed the sunshine today.

 

If you spot anything, or have anything coming up -  please let me know.  I've got both an unused classic and standard policy, so age not particularly important.

 

Obviously watching the tat thread like a hawk.

 

Me. XoXo

This looks quite shite.

Man maths in action. My friend says I am mad for having two cars. But it's only the banks money on a overdraft. Costs me £6.00 a month in overdraft fees. Small price to pay when you want to swan around in a gay pug like me. "Ah yes " she says "you have to pay an overdraft back" who says? The bank have more money than me . Good luck and I see your logic.

Say after me, look into my eyes, not around the eyes...you're under.

 

I need to buy 95quids sterling

This is the only rub.  I really absolutely have to get this Sierra watertight, because otherwise the unobtanium trim gets wrecked up - and we'll very quickly be on for a weldathon in the boot.

 

The Raver is smashing - but realistically it's too much for me by the time it's been MOT'd etc.  It's not too much, far from it.  It's just I have lemonade money.

Don't suppose you've got anything a bit more red in stock atm?

Quite appealing actually

 

 

 

 

 

 

Were'nt you asking after these anyway?

Belts are due at 100k.  £10 says it's not been done.  Might be a nice way to try one though.

This will be available soon - went for it's MOT yesterday but Halfords interwebs had a FTP so they did no MOTs.  It's a car.

Can view on your behalf if required.

You need a Vectra estate.

 

By coincidence....

[purplebargeken]

No,no, no. A modern Beetle is perfect for your needs. By a strange coincidence.......... but you know this already

Oh that's the one!

 

Stylish and green

 

It's got the lower-tax engine too and quite pokey even though the one to have is the 2.0 V6 job found in a Probe

 

From the time before Mazdas rusted out like Alfasuds.  Probalby.

V6 Probes were 2.5s. Xedos 6s had the 2.0-litre thing. Better on fuel than the MX-3's 1.8-litre. 

[flat4alfa]

Noted, cheers

 

Yes these Mazda 323F (Lantis) got the 2.0 V6, as well as MX6.  Probe's 2.0 was an inline four.  Anyhow, much rather have a Mazda

This was in the ebay tat thread. Kind of ticks some* of the boxes. Pure class.

This looks prime candidate atm.

Head gasket

 

 

That Volvo is gorgeous, I've low balled him massively but oh well, on the off chance & all that...

[BorniteIdentity]

Head gasket

 

 

Decent K-Seal equivalent for a K Series?  £13.

 

Decent repair to rotten MX5?  At least 10x.

Forget the East Angle and Topless.

Willfully ignoring your location requirements I direct your attention to this canvas-roofed cutie, complete with comedy plate.

This is precisely why I asked this question - so stuff I didn't think of would come up.  Not everyone keywords with "cabriolet" or "convertible".

 

I imagine driving this from Scotland to Cambridge would be...err... attritional.
