[Wolseley1660man]

Cheers for the garage advice - I'll get onto it this week.

Previous owner suffered explosive diaorrhea.

The Miafiore has a bit of rust, but my Dad's one had way more rust than that in 1984 when he changed to a Carina II.

Bedford TK Looks like a D-series Ford next to it too - GR8 4 pretending to be in The Sweeney.

Bogongo!

Forgive my ignorance here - been out the country for too long. What's the procedure for these council garages? Any criteria to be met etc? I'd be well up for one or more. Then I can justify buying something utterly stupid.

Well I just phoned the guy at the housing association (the council by another "independent" name), and asked them. They sent me a short form, all you do is list what you want to put in ('old car tat') and tick the box saying you won't use it for commercial use or be a pain in the arse, return the form and collect some keys.

Same for me. Plus when the neighbours saw me "moving in" they were sure to reinforce those points too.

Crap pictures but this sounds like a nice one which is also tax extempt for £850 BIN with T+T

 

 

That's pretty jazzy. I would 'hit it'.

Bloody Cumbria though....

1984 Austin Maestro Vanden Plas

 

YES! It's got the talking digidash!

 

1983 Rover 2300S

 

Crikey this sounds like a good prospect - the optional 5-speed manual, tax and test, cambelt done, not rotten, just needs a few bits of paint by the sounds of it. £795! Sounds ace to me. I bet those 2300 ones are a nice enough compromise between power/fuel economy, especially with a 5-speed box.

 

1973 Humber Sceptre Automatic

 

I'd love to get one of these and facelift it into Iran Khodro "Pakyan" spec.

Mine was a 2.3 and it was pretty heavy on fuel. They don't actually go bad at all but I guess you're working the engine that bit harder that it guzzles more than it should.

I thinnk the 5 speed is stock on series 2 cars. I know series 1 2300's were 4 speed and I think they didn't get PAS either!

[wuvvum]

I reckon the 2600S is the SD1 of choice. No thirstier than the 2300 and, with a manual box, snapping at the heels of a standard V8 in terms of performance. Sound nice too, and apparently more robust than the 2.3.

[Pete-M]

I had a 2600SE and it was worse on fuel than my much missed Vitesse.That straight six lump is abysmal. V8 is the only way to have an SD1.

[pogweasel]

YUM YUMS!

[warren t claim]

YUM YUMS!

If I bought that I would have it signwritten with Granada TV Rentals on the side and carry a 24" wooden box CRT tv in the back. Nostalga!

[AnthonyG]

That VP Maestro is superb - I can imagine the original owners trading in a VP1500 Aggro for it. Viva estate is nice too.

[Rogue trader]

My very first car was one of those Maestro's same colour and everything I thought it was great just cos it had the talking dash which amazingly still worked unlike the electric windows which needed a thump or two to get working

1973 Humber Sceptre Automatic

 

£700!!! DREAM ON!

 

...and the brakes are 'ceased'

[pogweasel]

Surely 'ceased' brakes are those with are in good health, being the opposite of deceased...?

[Ratdat]

Lorra loot but ZOMG LUVLY...

 

 

Haven't seen one of these for years...

 

 

 

 

Jazzy...

 

 

Dog eared but cheap RX7...

 

[andrew e]

Ask to see the tailgate on that SD1 before you buy, it has some body issues ( I know the previous owner!) Mechanically bob-on but it was sold for about a monkey last time

Bumpers look better than mine as I can't see any holes

 

If it stayed very cheap the purchase price could probably be offset by using VW scene tax applied to those wheels.

I've got four of them wheels in me shed. £150 and they're yours, half-decent tyres on 'em too.

They're made by "MAG Industries", aircooled VW PCD and they're light as fook.

[TheScrapman]

Haven't seen one of these for years...

 

 

Didn't someone on here buy a job lot of these recently?

[chester drawers]

Lorra loot but ZOMG LUVLY...

 

 

 

I'd wager Mr Bickle's got, or had one of those

[nigel bickle]

Nope. 310,320 ,411's but no 5 series.Sorry.

1980 Ford Cortina 1.6 L Estate

 

'Ello supermodel! Got a boyfriend yet?

 

1972 Rover 3500 Automatic

 

£450 - no MOT, no reverse gear, but it's brown and tax exempt. Just push the thing back if you need to, it won't be that heavy, stop being a wuss.

 

1993 Jaguar XJ6 3.2

 

Here comes the bride! There goes the bride! Read the description and amuse yourself just at how down-at-heel this "wedding car" truly is.

 

1993 Austin Maestro 1.3 Clubman

 

This would be a better wedding car, at least it's clean and tidy.

1972 Rover 3500 Automatic

That's mine, that is. I should really fix the reverse, whack an MoT on it and sell it for a lot more, but to be perfectly honest I'm fed up with the bloody thing - I've had it nearly a year and got about three weeks' use out of it, not to mention the hundreds I've spent on it.

[Guest]

I thought it looked familiar! Looks a nice piece for £450.

[pogweasel]

That's bloody cheap, I would ignore the shite paintjob and just rag around in it for a while.

Shame that, the one I had recently never gave me any real gyp. The points closed over once when my mate was driving it, but other than that it was spot on. They're ace when they work, I see yours is non-PAS? I think they need it badly in town.
