I.e. it will tell me every time a 'Citroen ZX' or something appears for sale on any selling site. You mean apart from this thread? eBay allows you saved searches and will send you alerts; I assume this also covers Gumtree now since it seems to cross-link to ebay. Good luck finding anything on CaC these days. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 @willswitchengage Not that I'm aware of. They only seem to have daily emails. Obviously you can do saved searches on the app equivalents, they'll then have a marker against them when new listings are put up. That's how I accidentally* find stuff to buy. I have the sub £1000 listings on C+C as a refresh page on my laptop, the mobile version lists them by price rather than listing date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willswitchengage Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I found one for bicycles before - on a stolen bike site it emails you whenever something matching the description of yours appears for sale (and it worked! I found mine). Obviously the same function would just allow you to type in 'FIAT TIPO' and just get a notification for whenever one pops up on ebay or whatever.

My heavens, I bet that’s a lovely cruiser. That grille badge needs to go, obviously. It’s even properly logged as a 3.0 with the DVLA. No MOT though, and I’m not convinced its exempt, being modified. Edit: I have now convinced myself it is MOT exempt. Stevebrookman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I bought my Royale nearly 5 years ago, the bloke I bought it off had a huge workshop. He was just finishing this.

I thought it was only based on the age, how would dvla decide how much modification was too much to be exempt if the registration remains the same? Edit: apologies, you're right, there's a whole 'substantial changes' clause that applies for engine swaps etc. However, "alternative cubic capacities of the same basic engine and alternative original equipment engines are not considered to be a substantial change" is the later 3.0 the same basic engine?

Sir Snipes Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I don't think they did a 2.8 CIH. They did 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 four cylinders but I think the six was always 3 litres. I think the blocks are broadly similar - there was a fella in the North West doing a 16v head for a Manta by cutting down a 24v head. That was maybe twenty years ago now and I don't know if he ever finished it. Skizzer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the 3.6 is a stretched 24v CIH , also I think some Bitters had a 4.0 version . There were a couple of 4.0 Senator 24v s for sale recently on eBay or C&C, presumably these were the same lumps Bitter used rather than some ancient South African or Australian 1950’s Chevrolet pickup truck engine like in their Senator A’s.
