I thought somebody on here was thinking of looking at this. Can't remember who, memory like a sieve, but it obviously never happened. 

I was. I didn't in the end as I put my sensible hat on, although still keep wondering if its still for sale....

Ah yes, I remember now. Well the longer it is there the more chance they'll accept a cheeky offer. Nudge nudge. 😉

So did I, but apparently it wasn't for long.  Anybody want to welcome him back into the fold?

 

 

 

 

Thought not.  Never mind.

I actually would, but I don't have the cash.  Yes I know there's plenty wrong with him, but at least I know what most of it is.

Same seller has a yellow Chevy pickup at twice the price, that also looks familiar!

Think it transpired not to be suitable to transport the family due to the ongoing rot and more suited for a rolling restoration. Don't get me wrong it deserves love, but these things are pretty undesirable at the moment with fuel costs! 

(Even more undesirable than a certain white Renault Espace! 😉)

Huggy needs £5-10ks worth of welding, possibly more. There are very few people who are willing to do that sort of work and fewer still who will do it to a high standard and actually finish the job. It would also take an extremely long time to fix it up. 

If you've got that sorta money (a few £k to buy it and the readies to have someone good weld it), you'd probably just be going for an unfucked caddy for closer to £10k. 

I think HMC deserves a purple heart for taking it on and then another medal for managing to sell it. It's about as automotively niche as you could possibly get and with fuel at this price it's even more niche.

Top marks for the sheer bloody-mindedness needed to go to that much effort to have 400hp... going through the front wheels of a fucking Vectra.

Also, the bonnet raisers look absolutely awful on a car whose bonnet is designed to flow into the mirrors!

 

I bet it puts the power down really effectively too.

I keep going back to the blue to look at that. Am sorely tempted and one’s just left the fleet….

it's very cool and I don't think overly offensively priced if it's solid.

Aye. It’s alas slightly more cash than the 360 I just got for the broken megane mind. Though investment and all that.

They were all over the shop with the standard 2.5 V6, it would be just unusable at 400bhp. A fundamentally poor platform to modify a car from... 🤣
