Plus he's flushed the tank out, but the car doesn't run due to stale fuel in the tank?

 

Indeed. :)

 

I like it all the same. I'd give £400 for it and maybe do a Saxo VTS engine transplant. 8)

Contrary to the falling exhaust thing, that one is 100% logical. He said that he'd flushed it years ago, was running the car and then just left it in the garage. And it does run.

 

"THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS STALE FUEL IN THE TANK AND THERFORE WILL ONLY RUN WHEN YOU MANUALLY INTRODUCE FRESH PETROL TO THE CARB, I HAVE A NEW CARBURETTOR, AND SOME SECOND HAND PARTS THAT I'V COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS THAT THE BUYER CAN HAVE TOO."

No matter - for 1300 quid I'd expect a runner, and a bloody good runner at that. Not one with the boot trim hanging off...

 

LNA's aren't collector's items yet so you'd need a good 'un to justify the kind of money the seller's after.

I think its pretty good value myself

 

It might be, but I don't expect it to find a buyer soon. There's just no market for them. Idiotboy sold a beautiful example for less than a grand. Rather more miles, but rather more working...

Eh? Why did you take a photo of it on Talbot Road when Dunham Massey's two seconds away? I will take some photos of it if you like. That's not far from where I live.

 

Also, why you selling?

I didn't put a lot of thought into the location, I was passing through and stopped on a photogenic side street. It's pretty, Bowdon.

 

Only selling because it's got a bit familiar and my list of previously owned is pathetic.

Dangerous thoughts, man. Having a long 'previously owned' list isn't necessarily a good thing. You could end up like me. Do not end up like me.

What about the Chrysler 180 in the background of the picture of the Toyota? Is it for sale that a rare bird these days!

Would you mind elaborating on exactly which Toyota?

Being ruined by cars is my dream, and dreams can come true!

:lol: They're already the right colour under the black. Supposedly that blue repels rust due to having a higher lead content than the other colours. Ripley's Believe it or Not.

I'm afraid I'm in the 'or not' camp, and I've got the dustbin full of floorpan to back that up.

 

Actually, I don't think mine was Valencia Blue originally, I was rooting around under the dash and found some night light metallic blue on the bulkhead which I guess is the proper colour. It's had about 7 paint jobs over the years by the look of it...
