Tempted, but the fact that it's an auto is putting me off a bit - being an E plater it's likely to have the paininthearse 4-speed box, isn't it?

mouseflakes Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 From trawling the 'net I think '88 was the switch to 4-speed - coincided with the series 2 re-style perhaps? Probably best check to be sure though.That lovely red V6 would be my choice at the moment - shame I'm off on hols, but the Wuv is onto that one anyway. :wink:Get both - the Monaco interior would look good in the red V6!

wuvvum Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 HEY WUVZ! Did you strike up any dialogue with the Gamma fellow?Aye. Emailed him earlier today to say taht if he can hold off the pikeys-with-the-hiab-truck for a couple more weeks I'd do what I could to find the Gamma a good home. It rather depends on me selling the Marea though as what little spare change I have at the moment is already allocated to the 121/Revue and the Yamaha electronic piano that I've just managed to win myself, plus the 25 and the Y10 that I am currently winning. I've stuck the Transit and the Rayton on the Bay too, so hopefully that'll clear a space to put the Gamma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the worst came to the worst I probably would drag it home behind the Carlton - the A140 is such a slow road anyway that only being able to do 40mph isn't going to be a major drawback. Only thing is I've got to shift the Rayton out the way first. Be interesting to see how long I could get away with parking it on the street on its Italian plates before someone moaned...

Vin Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'm sure that Minor Caravanette thing was a recent spot somewhere....What is it with describing things like that as 'the only one' or 'one in a million' etc etc etc...It's crap that's why it can be the only one...And £6,995 for it I'm gonna do the obvious. £6.95 surely.

Dead_E23 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 They must have sold a lot of the autobox ones, seems nearly every one for sale is!I don't think there was a lot of choice at the time if you were after a small automatic hatchback, so Honda had the market pretty much to themselves. (n.b. that's what the kid next door's Dad told me when they were available new and he was thinking about getting one. I was a child and he knew f.a. about cars. Having said that, I can't think of many other small autos from the late 70s...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're almost into the final furlong, I'm so bastid depressed I could cry. 100 watchers and no fugga is bidding.

pogweasel Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Knackers to that. It's a 1.8, and therefore crammed full of parts to convert your Viva / Cavalier / Chevette / Escort / Milk Float into an XE-engined tool. Gearbox & sump pick-up will make hundreds all day long. Stripping and weighing in the rest will net some quids too. I got £275 for a rotten one belonging to my half-witted friend last year.
