I think I've bagged one of my dream tanks......

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer 2278]

WAHOO!!!!!!!

Vendor of one of my all time favourite 'must haves' just rang me back after a week of waiting thinking I'd missed the boat. It's a tank, one of the residents on this very site finally nabbed one recently, although I may have hit the V8 manual jackpot!

Face it - I'm a shiter - so if it's not needing to be swept up to move it I'm buying the fekker!

Wanted to go tonight but it's a fair distance away and I'm still in the office.........

 

Anyone interested or wanting to guess.... knock yourselves out.

[Heidel_Kakao 3707]

2nd Generation Ford LTD with the toploader manual?

[C1am 424]

Rover SD1?

[Bren 12727]

Horesey horseless?

[Junkman 108781]

Corvette C4.

[eddyramrod 16434]

Hmm, right shape engine, too many pedals?  I'm guessing Bavarian, with a 5 or a 7 in the "name."

[RoadworkUK 5626]

If it's a 928 I'll be very impressed indeed.

[dome 9268]

If it's a 928 I'll be very impressed indeed.

This times about 4 million.

[hairnet 11319]

W8 Passat with type9

[chaseracer 19479]

Corvette C4.

 

Sinclair C5?

[Cleon-Fonte 2714]

I'm going to guess it's an SD1 too, purely due to references to it having to be swept away.

 

I eagerly await the moment I'm proved spectacularly wrong.

[puddlethumper 3274]

Sherman? Chieftain? Crusader? Abrahms?

[cobblers 9867]

Neoplan Skyliner?

[HarmonicCheeseburger 3716]

Allegro ( someone please v8 an Allegro )

[richardmorris 13160]

Mercedes CL500?

[Bren 12727]

P6?

[Bfg 4554]

.

V8 eh ?  ..well it could be something like this . .

 

 

..or perhaps a 1960's Daimler 2.5 ?  Very nice cars, and still a few to be found at a budget price

 

.. I even found a photo of one in Autoshiter beige ..especially for the hard-core amongst us..

[mercrocker 18850]

Or one of these....

 

 

 

 

Broom definitely needed.

I've driven one – don't be, they've got their own problems.

[Tamworthbay 16047]

A good 928 is a stunning piece of engineering that is utterly amazing and one of the best cars ever made. Mine wasn't a good one but was still amazing, none of the electrics worked properly but you didn't care as soon as you booted it. In auto form it was the fastest go kart on the planet. A shit one is a world of pain, but that is the same with any car.

 

I paid £2k for mine, that would buy one wheel now I think with prices how they are.

[danthecapriman 13276]

I WILL own one of these at some point! Gorgeous looking cars.

[Guest Hooli]

Neoplan Skyliner?

 

I used to drive a twin turbo Merc engined one of them with a four over four box. Great laugh and the biggest thing I've ever driven sideways down the road on frost

[Junkman 108781]

Those Daimlers were appropriately gearboxed, though, no?

[John F 10785]

No, they had dodgem transmissions.

[Justin Case 2073]

I hope that it is a Majestic Major limousine. They are like a 120mph Masonic Lodge.

[mercrocker 18850]

Those Daimlers were appropriately gearboxed, though, no?

 

American Borg-Warners I believe....

[eddyramrod 16434]

1968 Mercury Cougar with a 289 and four-speed?

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer 2278]

So it was too easy.........  almost immediately - SD1 is correct.

 

I looked at an LTD 2 weeks ago and it was a true heap in every sense of the word - although the windows were closed when I viewed it, they obviously hadn't been when it was laid up in the nearby hedge!!!

Daimler V8 slipped through my fingers a couple of years back, ex's dad had one, had just paid over 10K!!! for total engine and box overhaul..... drove like a dream. He wanted shot (wife actually, a REAL dragon) and asked €5000 - Yup - you read that right - €5K...... I screamed yes over the phone and arranged to go get it that weekend (they are in Germany but it was a UK export). Wife decided that was too long and promptly sold it to another guy who came to look at it for €3500!!!!! I literally cried when I got there and it was gone, then got told the price she'd let it go for....... never ever forgave her for that (bitch).

 

I'm hoping to get this one for a bag o sand........ or less if I can wangle it. Linky to the ad below........ guy sounds fairly decent and went through a load of things already before I even asked to view.

Also Dutch is the best language.
