Sold Allegro gone. No cash 2nite m8. See 6cyl for updates. Thread over

[Mrs6C]

So he doesn't get pulled over for DUI while trailering it home? Hint hint...

[Bren]

No doubt the gumtree bell ends expected a full restoration for the asking price?

[Mally]

Hypothetically, how much would it cost/where do I get an auto box?

Is an engine/manual box feasible? What engine is it 1750?

Where do you live D Spares?

Am I really that stupid?

From factory, this would have had a 1500. I think 1750s came a little later - you could get either towards the end of production.

[Tamworthbay]

Is this still available? Jez this place is slipping, I keep hoping to see it gone as my resolve not to do something stupid isn’t infinite.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Sorry, provisionally sold.

 

Obviously no deposit has been taken but I'll shall keep you all updated!

[D Spares & Tyres]

If you drive it loaded I can borrow a van with a towbar.

I guess this means I must not drink alcohol until it is safely rehomed!

Thank God for that. Glad it’s going to a good home

[D Spares & Tyres]

It does look that way. I won't say who it is just yet. He is a relatively recently signed up shiter but looking at the list of cars he has it will fit right in with his collection

[Mally]

Saved from my own stupidity.

[AnthonyG]

Good to hear it. It really did look very smart in 2013 - although that is 5 and half years ago I suppose!

[DeeJay]

My money's on Mrs6C.

[Mally]

Yes shes queen of gearboxes, and core plugs.

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Yes shes queen of gearboxes, and core plugs.

....and big tweezers.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Well it's still here...

 

I did want it gone over the Xmas break so a couple of days ago I emailed the chap who was supposed to be moving it for the shiter who wanted it

 

"Oh yes he did mention it but I didn't think it was definate"

 

 

Come on chap it's a free car, I'm not chasing you to get it. First to turn up gets it

[NorthernMonkey]

Can we get it up to Mally somehow? Might be nice to give him something to keep him busy in the new year.

People bleat on about AS sellers being the best; a shame the buyers aren’t as good.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Oh and my original offer of lending the trailer doesn't stand anymore, sorry. It has a 4x4 on it with the suspension removed. I need to get a few more bits off yet before I weigh it in.

 

If the original chap who was going to have it still wants it then fine, no hard feelings. I'm not being funny, just practical. You are still welcome to it but just hurry up and get yours or someone else's arse down here, I'm only 40 miles away!!

 

Furst 2 C will by

 

Happy xmas!!!

Xmas day bump

[The Old Bloke Next Door]

In the event that no one else collects it soon and you can deliver it to me, I'll pay your fuel costs. 

 

It is unlikely that I would be doing anything to it before next April at the earliest. During that period it will be available to any  Shiter that can collect from me and reimburse my costs.

 

I have secure storage in Hednesford WS12 area.

 

Or you could just take it to the bridge and pocket some coin for yourself, safe in the knowledge that you have done your best to save it for posterity.

[vulgalour]

I haven't the funds to get it from there to here in a decent timeframe, so this is as much of your time as I shall waste.  Soz.  I should probably focus on the Princess at any rate.

I really don't want to weigh it in, I can't be responsible for its death! It's going on gumtree now. I currently have no road legal towcar for the first time in years. I'm in no rush to sort it as I don't really need to tow anything and also it stops me picking up more shite!

[catsinthewelder]

If Tom can't tow it then there is one of the regulars over Coventry way who does shite shifting.  Where are you shifting it to?

[Heidel_Kakao]

Does anyone on here rent themselves and their trailer out? I have space for this, know someone with a load of Austin stuff and would be able to get it back on the road.

It's back on now as of this morning. One text saying £100 cash today. I replied £150 and you have a deal. He replied that he is short of cash and will cost too much to get here so can only pay £100. I told him he is probably best saving his cash up then.

 

Another one wanted to pay £100. I just said no.

 

The third person sounds promising though... It's leaving soon if I have to weigh it in, much as though it would upset me but £100 in my pocket and no more timewasters sounds very appealing...

[Scruffy Bodger]

I've seen this little car and I can see why D Spares wants to save it from being fragged, it's too good for that.

[Mally]

Can we get it up to Mally somehow? Might be nice to give him something to keep him busy in the new year.

Thanks for the suggestion....I think.

I do have a trailer that carries 1000kg, might just be in.

I do not have the time, see my Stock Car thread.

It's the gearbox that kills it for me though.

[D Spares & Tyres]

This sodding thing is finally going on monday. A serial shiter is having it. We have done business before and I know his word is good.

 

I put it on gumtree for £200 and have had several emails and texts. Some of the classic '100 today mate' style ones. I just want it gone so replied 'ok yes that's fine'. None got back to me after that. What motivates these idiots?????
