Guest Hooli Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Oi! I'm a southerner up here on missionary work trying to teach them to be English, no success so far though.
chrisjvm Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 Thought it was too good to be true! Respect for your missionary status though....

chrisjvm Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Sorry Mr Fraud, I've given up trying to sell my two..
chrisjvm Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 AKA the midlandsThink 'Doncastrians'might have summat to say 'bout that.
chrisjvm Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 In other news, the DAF is still looking for a new owner...Nothing wrong with a little off topic nonsense Mr Fraud, it's endemic in car forums duntcha know! and has the added benefit of bumping your listing. Sigmund Fraud 1
busmansholiday Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Nothing wrong with Donny that a trip across the A635 cannot cure. Sadly I've too many cars in bits to be able to buy the DAF.
artdjones Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Maybe do the front brakes,give it a service and then try again (with a higher price).It would be a better proposition if it could be driven away. Tamworthbay 1
DodgyBastard Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Cheapest quote so far for having this transported to me has been £389, if the car was local I'd be all over it but the distance isn't helping unfortunately. Sent from my G3311 using Tapatalk Sigmund Fraud and Kringle 2
purplebargeken Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Instantly roadworthy will help with getting it moved and as mentioned, at a better price I think.
Sigmund Fraud Posted June 24, 2018 Author Posted June 24, 2018 There is far, far more to making the Kombi "roadworthy" than doing the brakes. As I've already explained, it's a project car, and should be treated as such. Unlike any other 1970s car available for that price, it does not require a full restoration. But it does require work ! Brakes and tyres are essential, unless you have a death wish. But due to the sheer amount of time it's been in storage, it's likely to require plenty of de-snagging before it's dependable. I have neither the time nor the will to do any more work on it. Jim Bell 1
SiC Posted June 24, 2018 Posted June 24, 2018 Unlike any other 1970s car available for that price, it does not require a full restoration. For reference, I paid the same (admittedly including transporting) for the 1100. This looks like it needs far less work and time as it's in much better condition. Basically this is a bargain.

Kringle Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Can I have your full postcode for a collection quote ?Slight side topic but who do you guys use? Shiply quoted 64 quid for a car from Salisbury to westbury, does that sound good? I've never used a delivery firm before.
Sigmund Fraud Posted June 25, 2018 Author Posted June 25, 2018 Slight side topic but who do you guys use? Shiply quoted 64 quid for a car from Salisbury to westbury, does that sound good? I've never used a delivery firm before. People around here seem to ask for £1.5 per mile. In my experience, reliability is far more important than price when it comes to car transport companies ! Nowadays, I prefer to A-frame lightweight stuff, or rent a beavertail for heavier (or completely unroadworthy) stuff. Kringle and HillmanImp 2
Kringle Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 So I should be looking at 41 quid. Hmm, thank you Sir.
SiC Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Ask Wingz123 of this forum. I believe he's not that far from Mr Fraud either.
HillmanImp Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I think my transporter chap is maybe doing me over, I might have to see about getting other quotes. I've used him for years but have never thought about looking elsewhere. I paid £75 to move the Imp 12 miles a couple of months ago.......
drum Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 Cost me £340 to get a lwb Land Rover transported 470 miles. That was a Shipley quote.
Kringle Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 I suppose the longer the distance the cheaper per mile, local stuff must have a minimun cost. Cheapest is now 52 quid which is cheaper than an mot test booking and a days insurance. HillmanImp 1
TataBobu Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 But it does require work ! Brakes and tyres are essential, unless you have a death wish.

I'm out, then.
Sigmund Fraud Posted June 28, 2018 Author Posted June 28, 2018 This is now back on the market... Roll up, roll up !
Sigmund Fraud Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 One month onwards, the little DAF has still not sold ! Wim and Hub really can't understand why... They think I should put it on eBay. If no brave 'shitters come forward in the next few days, I'll have to listen to Wim and Hub's advice.
purplebargeken Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 Should have gone by now. Much sad but no doubt the bay of E will realise moar monies.
Holytoledo! Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Is your 66 still for sale? If so, let me know as I’m keen to thrash out a deal for her! Cheers purplebargeken 1
hairnet Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 Weekend bump ! A unique opportunity to purchase an appreciating* classic* with glorious* motorsport* heritage*. i have a photo of that in the flesh somewhere
