Angrydicky Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Funnily enough it looks like I'm getting roped in to putting a pair of sills on the Visa belonging to my parents next door neighbours soon. It's a blue Y reg hatch. Haven't looked at it closely yet but I'm told the rust is localised to the sills. Would be interested in any leads for new sill panels, preferably ones that are a decent fit.

There are 14 known to the club and this is an extra one. I have an inkling of where it has come from, but never had a photo I am hoping our Visa headmaster will enlighten me in due coarse as he has much more info than me.

richardmorris Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 They all seem to be red! I saw one a couple of decades ago at a Hampshire house when I went to buy two dyane rear bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amishtat Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 There's two red cabrios sitting on a driveway in Braintree, looks like they've been there a while.

shedenvy Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Aye @Amishtat, where abouts in Braintree? I'd happily take a 30mile detour home to set eyes on that pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amishtat Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 On Coggeshall Road, on the left as you go into town. There's only one now and it's always hemmed in by other cars when I go by. If you get to Pizza Hut and the Cressing Road traffic lights you've gone a bit too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Six-cylinder Posted February 26, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2020 Ever wondered what happened to this Visa you all helped to save? The answer is it ran out of MOT and ended up needing to be saved again! Dodgy Bastard leapt for the save when he heard of its plight, only to find the owner's brother had moved it to another location because of a traffic warden in the area. The same brother then arranged with a local garage to get it off the road and put it though an MOT, but it failed, although not badly. Mrs6C spoke to the owner who explained while he had enjoyed his Visa over the years, he was no longer able to take care of it due to now looking after elderly parents. He wanted a good home for it long-term and offered it to Mrs6C. She agreed she would become its keeper and pay the bills to get it MOT'd and safe. The Visa has now been MOT'd and taxed and we have paid the bills. The plan now is to get it down south and maintain it on our fleet. Before that happens, if anybody who helped save it before wants to try it for a bit, that would be fine. It is still parked in the street in Edinburgh, so the first move would be to collect it and park it safely off road somewhere, while we sort out the plan for folk who want to do so, to make use of it and help bring it south in due course. We understand it drives OK and is ready to go, showing up on the DLVA as MOTed, Taxed and insured. adw1977, Amishtat, Dick Longbridge and 68 others 69 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbaldy Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I could store it off road for any length of time required and collect anyone from station pretty much anytime with notice. If that's any use. I know it's only 50 odd miles more southern but every little helps Wingz123, Six-cylinder, chaseracer and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelandeth Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Happy to help out with driving etc if I can. Convertible one will be a bloody brilliant addition to your fleet.

captain_70s Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 If you want to store it on a slightly different street in another Scottish city it can come and sit next to the Doloshite and I can take it shopping so it's not appearing abandoned for as long as required. I'll just park the Acclaim one street over. Skizzer and Six-cylinder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I could always jump on a train and go and get it - I've already driven a daft distance in a shonky red Visa belonging to someone else once this year and that went OK, so no reason why I couldn't do it again. skattrd, spartacus, sdkrc and 13 others 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
