For Sale WBOD needing sparkly stick attention £400

[kinkersaab]

 should be getting this beut traded in.  Older chap has had it for last 10 years or so. 97k, for those who dont klnow, its an mps, 2.3 turbo 4 cylinder with 260 bhp and 4x4 with a manual box.  full loaded with all the toys.  These are just over 6 secs to 60 and 150 mph machines. They are also rusty bastards. He put it in for a test and its failed as you will see when checking.  Anyhow it £400 which is as cheap as I have seen one of these, and its come from a good home.  just scrapes in under the cheaper tax too.

Very, very cheap for what is a proper performance machine. Still capable of embarrassing German repmobiles. How much would it cost up there to get someone apt with the sparkly stick to repair it?

[kinkersaab]

No idea, we wont be doing it.  It will i suspect be sold to a local "car type" mechanic, just thought it worth mentioning on here incase someone wanted one.  i imagine it will need a pair of sills to be good to go...it will still then have frilly arches........... sadly I suspect its worth more in bits, but i wont be breaking it.

I had no idea these existed in 4x4, suddenly they are a lot more interesting.

 

 

No I don't want it.

[NorthernMonkey]

Hmm.

Apparently I’m not allowed any more toys at the minute.

Just remind me where you are again...ahem.

It is nearly Xmas.

I’m going to be in so much shit if she reads this thread.

It can always be hidden at mine

[Kiltox]

Someone GIB!!

[Bren]

Patch it up. Use it. Then break it.

That may* just work.

 

Everything that turns up at mine, I’ll tell Claire it’s yours and your hiding it from Shona and vice-versa...

[NorthernMonkey]

It’s all in hand, dear boy...

[They_all_do_that_sir]

These are proper quick. Lad in work had one and it was a real sleeper. 260bhp is quite a lot of horses in any car

Wooo Knockhill visit?

This is still tested until the 21st right? So could be legally driven home?

 

I just learned to weld a couple of months ago, as well. I daresay this would be a bit of a more serious job than a Mk3.5 Fiesta though, right?

 

2nd dibs if NJG pulls out though please!

Mental how a 55 plate car that isn't a Ford Ka can be so rotten.

This wasn't even a cheap car new and it was their Halo model too.

Scotland and a lot of winter salt, I bought a MX5 last year that came from Glasgow , looked great on top but underneath looked like it'd been dangled in the sea

 

If I hadn't just bought a Range Rover I'd be all over this , a couple of years ago I had an Impreza wrx, 240 Bhp 4x4 , I loved that car , went wherever you pointed it , I'd think this would be very similar but 22 mpg gets a bit wearing after a while, at least this one isn't in the £500 tax band like mine was
