1994 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 - "cheap jeep"

[skattrd]

There are many, many reasons why I shouldn't buy any more cars, space, time, money to start with.... In my defence I expected to be outbid on ebay, so it was relatively cheap.
This is why I should not read the ebay tat thread, I buy things I don't need.

I did consider not doing a collection thread for this, but the last time I collected a vehicle without doing a thread/post I ended up getting home at gone midnight in a loan car (an Astra) and the vehicle I purchased arriving 36 hours later on a flatbed after multiple FTP on the drive home.

So here begineth the collection, breakfast:
 

Bacon sandwich with a latte.

To be followed by a drive to the train station, multiple trains, ending up with me in the deep South of England. it's almost France, but not quite.

Estimated (according to trains) time to destination is after 13:00 this afternoon … so there's lots of time before I get there.

Breath duly baited...

It's nothing particularly exciting to collect, but there are multiple reasons why it might not make it the 175 mile drive home.

 

Step one, car to drive to the station will be the Scooby, as it's petrol and warms up quickly, it appears to be cold outside.

 

 

I live in the countryside, so I've been out and started the engine so it warms up a bit before I get in it.

Chodspeed chap, are you bound for 'aistings?

[Peter C]

Following and excited providing there’s no Yaris content.

[skattrd]

Chodspeed chap, are you bound for 'aistings?

That general direction yes, and no Yaris content guaranteed.

It's nothing exciting though.

[Shirley Knott]

Nothing like a collection thread to brighten up a dreary Sunday

 

Is it German?

[Jim Bell]

I'm going to guess frencher.

[skattrd]

Not German, and not French.

It is over 20 years old and cost £11 plus £25 admin fee to add to my insurance.

[bangernomics]

Will there be intrigue and mystery?

Kei car?

[skattrd]

Not kei, slightly bigger.

[skattrd]

Will there be intrigue and mystery?

Potentially, mainly for me is the question of will it get me home, as its not moved much in the recent past, despite it having full MOT.

[320touring]

Not kei, slightly bigger.

So, japanese and slightly bigger than kei but not a Yaris?

 

Starlet/justy outside bet on Mazda 121

[skattrd]

I am at the train stop a little early.

 

 

My train is the one for that London.

 

 

Bag with tools, coolant, cable ties, gaffer tape, pliers, screwdriver and other crap, also jump pack and compressor. I forgot the tyre weld and mini socket set, doh!

[Twiggy]

Best of luck..............

 

Hope it`s a Ford V8 Pilot...

With that kit it can't be a Japanese car!

[bangernomics]

Datsun bluebird coupe, actually I didn’t see a big tub of wob in the tool kit.

 

Something very giffery hence being laid up?

[320touring]

Drat, my cunning* ruse is foiled

[vaughant]

Something rover/vaux/ford

Definitely not a Datsun, nowhere near that interesting.

 

I'm not sure if I'd say the vehicle was giffery, but the vehicle definitely was giffer owned. It has a few dings and is being sold by a friend, since the former owner is now deceased. Looking at the pictures of the vehicle, his eyesight had been failing for a while.

[skattrd]

Something rover/vaux/ford

Nope.

[bramz7]

Volvo or Saab is my guess.

[bigstraight6]

Could it be an everlasting Volvosaurus...

[skattrd]

Volvo or Saab is my guess.

Nope, not Sweden.

[Jim Bell]

Is it an Italian stallion?

[bangernomics]

528 - 535 with the corners missing

[bangernomics]

Ohh coolant

 

P38 petrol

MGF

E36/46

[skattrd]

Not Italian

P38 petrol

MGF

E36/46

Nope.

I already have a working e36 and a broken P38.

Wouldn't mind trying an MGF, and it's the right time of year to get one, but sadly not today.
