eBay tat volume 3.

Problem with those Primeras (P10, P11 & P11B) is that the fuel economy on the 1.8 and 2.0 petrol versions is atrocious. I have a 1.8 Sport + on loan to a family member and it rarely sees more than 34mpg on a good run, it has NO acceleration at all and it's a generally shite engine. The handling, braking and comfort levels however are on a different level to anything else with a "SPORT" badge on that I've ever driven.

[fiatdaft]

34 mpg out of a family sized petrol car isn't that bad !

[cort16]

There was an R reg 2.0 SLX for sale near me a few months ago with 16,000 miles on it and it sold for £850. They're good cars but no-one seems interested in them. Maybe it's because most of them are petrol and skin flints at the cheapo end of the market are looking for diesels.

[CortinaDave]

I'd have thought 30-35mpg was pretty par for the course on a 2 litre pez motor to be honest. My saab 93 2 lt does about that as did several Mondeos etc I've had in the past.

 

Agree they're good cars but utterly unwanted. I had an absolute minter a couple of years back - 60 odd k and fsh. Was living in Aberdeen and working in Glasgow a couple of days a week at the time and I burst it up and down the motorway relentlessly with no problems whatsover.

 

Eventually it needed a set of pads and discs but that was all. Couldn't give it away even with 6 months mot and it ended up weighed in when the tax ran out and I was skint and had nowhere to keep it. Have to be honest - it's probably the best condition motor I've ever owned! Felt incredibly guilty when the scrappy's hiab arrived.

 

I didn't like the cheap looking dash and naff 90s patterned seats but as transport - I couldn't fault it.

That Disco looks like some sort of 'special needs' edition.

The abarthing of this Bravo might have worked on a white car but it looks gash on a silver one 1/10

That Disco pic is brilliant, its got all the ingredients including utterly hopeless half-arsed ‘project’ vehicle cobbled together by an obviously cack-handed moron of limited spatial awareness, badly photographed on a shitty bit of rubbish-strewn wasteground next to his estate, taken on a miserable, piss wet, cold day. Poetry.

[ypsilandra]

I have a feeling this could end up being a world of pain .... I still would though.

I spy a red mirror, and is that overspray on the rear wheel?

 

 

That's Luke from Club Lancia Sport's old HF Turbo which he did a lot of work on. I think he must've finished building his integrale, so it may be that much of the possible pain has already been borne!

 

It used to have a full set of Martini stripes and an integrale wing, removed for a respray perhaps?

Well, that's made me chuckle. Thanks very much

What an ugly fucker that is...

It looks so 'front wheel drive' with that huge overhang at the front, like an Audi.

The Martini graphics on this are a bit tasteless, but it's still a white 924 2 litre with the funkiest interior. The Citroen BX I've owned for 2 weeks is now up for sale

 

The Martini colour scheme for winners, is like this

That doesn't show the paint on the bonnet, which is as rough as a town centre tart's make up. Interior is peachy though

 

90 throbbing horsepower and stacks of torque from the turbo diesel

 

MoT - November I think, but Dollywobbler couldn't put his hand on the certificate 2 weeks ago

Tax - End of September

Price - £550

Where - Bedfordshire, MK45 1BZ

 

Ben, I see you're in Cambridge - I work at CB4 1GR if you want to see it in daylight!

[Ben_L]

splendid... You have pm.

[garethj]

If you want to be the smartest Barry in town, this Proton could be just the thing. I quite like these, but the wheels here push it into the hideous zone

[dollywobbler]

MoT - November I think, but Dollywobbler couldn't put his hand on the certificate 2 weeks ago

And I still can't. Genuinely baffled by that one. Guess it hasn't turned up in the glovebox or door pockets or something? V5C or a previous MOT cert should allow you to check it online, but it was definitely November.

[cort16]

WTF is going on with that Suba-jeep thing!! Bloody hell, top find.

[Ben_L]

Shameless self plug....

Can I go on record as saying I prefer them with the twin lights?

LIKE. But not at the price it's heading towards, considering it has cornflakey undersides.

[phil_lihp]

Oh dear.

I'm all for individuality and each-to-their-own but come on, seriously?

[R9UKE]

Oh fook me. There's an Avantime on Motorhog. I wouldn't wanna be one of those selfish people that has two but if it remains around that money it'll be worth it's weight in gold to have sitting for parts.

[cort16]

Can you get 2nd hand spares for these from french france or you just generally up for a main dealer bumming if you want a bumper or a headlamp?

[R9UKE]

They're just as rare in France amazingly, so even regular trawling of FrogBay turns up very little and when things do appear, they're still massively expensive. Which is why I know I'll regret not buying this if it stays on that side of £500. Especially if I have another bonnet vs windscreen moment

WOW! Was just speaking about that to my brother yesterday. I know that built it years ago. Local to me autoshiters will know his wee garage at crathes. Colin Christie is his name and his house is called tappets.

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

Luke, is ebay really popular in France, or are you looking at the wrong site?

 

(NB: This is not a rhetoric question. I have no clue about the French internet market.)
