nigel bickle Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Well I don't post here often, nowadays, but do seem to attract old chod. So today, having fortuitous met another long time shiter, I thought I might post a couple of pics Today I increased my Espero count to 3:- Pics taken in Luton, having A framed it down the M6/ M1 without incident. Yup, it's a 25k filthy old Espero, ( it really is that dirty!), off road for around 5 years. It doesn't run, but feels like it will. Fuel delivery I op, but a bit off life when spoon fed. Disabled tax right now. Same colour as my other ( auto), and compliments my ratty old red one. No idea what I'll do with it, even if it will return to Belgium with me at the end of the week, or stay in the Uk. But hey - why not? dave21478, Skizzer, Dick Cheeseburger and 24 others 27
Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Like like like!!!! Any other interesting acquisitons recently?
nigel bickle Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 The usual Boll. I just put this one up cos of the way it looks. Half minded not to wash it..
Belfast Gipsy Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Good to see you back on here Mr B. More pics of your amazing collection is always welcome.
Shonky Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I'm heavily interested in Nexias at the moment. This is certified Daewoo fondling stuff - that Espero is wonderful...I'll take all randoms, please. HMC 1
bramz7 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Pretty sure I took a photo of that exact 21 when it lived near Ledbury? Have I got that right?Nice Daewoo too.
HillmanImp Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I did come on this thread expecting a Mitsubishi from the title. Not that I'm complaining about the actual content.
quicksilver Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Three Esperos and an R21 tow car Mr B continues to amaze with his shite collecting skills.
oldcars Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 A frame, Espero, R21 with that window sticker. Winning. eddyramrod 1
fordperv Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 You winner having 3 esperos ive not seen one in the wild for a long time, my across the road neighbour around 2000 had one in the same colour as your new acquisition
nigel bickle Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 Tis indeed a 21- a 2 litre GTX rear wheel drive, actually quite a good tow car ( all its used for at present). Bramz, It's not been to Ledbury with me, but one of the kids might have used it. I've had it a few years, sits around a lot. The S'pro was on EBay, and it seemed foolish to let it pass. It's low mileage, very clean inside, disabled class tax so I'm guessing the owner passed. I bought it from the well intentioned couple who did nothing with it, ( having spun it over but little more) but do have a fascinating selection of interesting Chod, ranging from a Morris 8 tourer, to a Cursor. Natch, recommended here.It's fuel systems borked but that can't be complicated. Dunno what I'll do with it, but I like my red rough one, hate my clean blue auto, so I guess it has a future. egg, Skizzer and Faker 3
nigel bickle Posted July 2, 2018 Author Posted July 2, 2018 Not seen one? They're everywhere! This melange will be heading south down the M1, M25 & A3 Thursday- so keep an eye open!
Asimo Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Tis indeed a 21- a 2 litre GTX rear wheel drive, actually quite a good tow car.RWD?, you mean it's the back half of a quadra? Do tell more!
wuvvum Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I am also intrigued. Now I look at the photos again that back axle doesn't look like a "normal" 21.
STUNO Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 I still see this one about ! Three is a wee bit excessive though. nigel bickle 1
Steve79 Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Love an Espero, had a 2.0 cdxi in met purple which was a comfy ride. This thread reminded me of something I needed to get from work today. These were thrown in the skip as our company is having a clear out before we close in December. They used to have pride of place in our electronics lab and in our main office. I called dibs because no-one else wanted them. Thought they'd be of interest UltraWomble, egg, Kringle and 2 others 5
flat4alfa Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 More pics of the excitement The Daewoo was covered in a subtle layer of dried moss and Nigel indicated it might wear that look forever, for the hell of it. Reaked of fuel bypass spillage fun from earlier too! Am wondering which type of alloy wheel upgrade this Espero will receive, true to form. There was another photo of the man himself beaming across the Renner's engine bay, but you can't see that because of GDPR. I did think while peering into the bay whether I knew 21s were available in RWD form... Quadrafied, yes. But Longitudinal and RWD? Legend. egg 1
Lacquer Peel Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Longitudinal fitment was standard with the bigger engines but RWD is definitely unusual!
bezzabsa Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 those Esperos passed me by in the day...but quite charming looking....a facelift Cavalier almost!!!
