I know! I punched the sills as hard as I could and they are rock solid. Maybe full of cement but I damn well nearly broke my hand checking.

Has to be done Parky. Even if you just buy it and then decide it's too much, atleast you've done your bit. It shouldn't go for too much should it?

Sitting at £265 at the moment Rob. 2 bids. I suspect the banger boys are more interested than the classic rallyists

 

If I get it I will be hassling you, SD1, Angry Dicky, Outlaw, Inconsistant and all the other London & South East Shiters for some serious moral support!

 

Just to make things even harder, Speedy Spares seem to list everything it could possibly need and none of it is expensive. Bollocks.....

Have we had this yet?

 

Looks like some sort of estate sale judging by some of the other interesting stuff available

Looks like they're trying to max out the bids...

"Great car to start Group 1 RWD classic rallying."

He could have done a much better job of selling it if he had tried. I would have mentioned how his Dad (I assume) doted on the car, polished it regularly and turned down constant offers to buy it from the fat kid from around the corner.

 

After which I would have mentioned how Mr Gilbert McNaught of the Rootes group was the first owner, how he was a Doctor and the son of a Banker and so definitely cared for it. After which a powerfully built company director took it on and spared no expense before Dad bought it in 1984. Of course there is no proof of any of this but the papers got lost guv....

 

And after a beautifully contrived, detailed and slightly boring story, I would have said no MOT but should fly through before finishing with it is what it is, and it ain't what it ain't.

 

But that's just me

That's not natural; anything made of tin from Coventry that gets left under a bush that long ought to be fit for sweeping up with a brush. It must be cursed like JM's pee6.

It was actually built in Linwood - so being Scottish was probably built with bits of scrap Volvo which is why it is still in one piece.

An MG ZR 4x4 AND a six door Vectra? Shut this thread now, there's nothing else left to look at.

I've dreamed about building a 4x4 Streetwise with Freelander guts. Brilliant! I'd love to go and have a look at that.

I've never actually sat in a Vectra B or C. I've owned 4 mk2 cavaliers and a mk3 cav (Vectra A) and 3 mk3 astras and a mk4 astra and an omega. But the Vectra C? I thought I'd just wait until I'm about to die and plan and pay for my funeral in advance, with the stipulation that the relatives are carried in any 6 door black Vauxhall saloon.

Almost certainly owned by some posh kid who went to 'find' themselves in a West African kibbutz and is selling it to fund a new alternative lifestyle selling fair trade hand knitted lentil yoghurts in a caravan made out of fucking shabby chic pallets in some indecipherable Welsh village by the sea. And then pisses off home at weekends to enjoy freshly blunderbussed trout pheasant sandwiches with her father on his 897,000 acre pad in twatting Gloucestershire.

Even worse; weren't the shells shipped from Cov to Linwood for assembly or something? I can remember the run-out Avenger on display in the transport museum when it was in Kelvinhall, it looked like it had been put together by Ray Charles.

IIRC all the assembly took place at Linwood for those Avengers - the panels may have been (badly) pressed at Cov, but they were put together in Linwood.  It's not impossible that the Avenger on display at the Kelvin Hall had been cobbled together from panels that failed quality control.

That (or one very like it) has been around on the live in vehicle scene for years. Not sure how they've got it down to 3.5t though. Disturbingly not been run on a showmans reg either to claim mot exemption...
