AXrescuer Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 "Musso1995 - Too good to scrap" I doubt that. They weren't too good to scrap when they were new. And yours is a 14 year old boat shunted with no tax or test. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Musso1995-Too-goo ... _904wt_954"If you haven't paid me before 12pm on Tuesday your bid will be cancelled and negative feedback left"Clearly unaware that eBay won't allow sellers to leave negative feedback anymore!

Spottedlaurel Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Wow perfect!, Wish the Sun would give prizes like this way now!.My aunt won a Mini Mayfair from the Daily Mail in 1988. My mum bought it off her as it was surplus to their requirements and I used to drive it around. Zenophobia and a general mistrust of anything/anybody wasn’t a prerequisite for using it, fortunately.I think I’d much rather it’d been an Alfetta though. I know they’re all rare, but it's very odd to see one with single round lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogweasel Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 That Alfa is totally lush. Anyone who prefers a Sherpa Coupe over that, especially with such a cool family history needs to be clapped in irons and lobbed off the humber bridge.

Spottedlaurel Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Very accurate Hirst. My dad got a hand-me-down 1.7 Ital when he joined a new company in 1985, then an Acclaim before getting his own, brand new Cavalier 1.6 (which I don’t think was even an L, it was either that or a 309 as I recall).In his previous company he had Guiliettas as company cars (was a small place and the boss was an enthusiast so entertained such things). The first one had a respray or some other considerable bodywork within its first two years, the next one did mega miles and was used for towing mini diggers, exhibition caravans and the like, which may be why it had to have some welding to the boot floor. I recall him tinkering with the ignition on it to try and get it running better, when it was well beyond 100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
