Looks more like a groovy undercover TV Detector van - and now that the destitute over 80's will be pursued for watching BBC 1 without paying (with what remains of their funeral savings) - perhaps it will be pressed back into service.

It was certainly not the van from the film. It is a van and is mainly yellow though ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've seen carburettors in cars beyond the 1992ish model year in any European market stuff. I had a 94 with Motronic (I think) single point injection. Were all the Clios fitted with Energy engines? I mean, most of them would have had cats by 92 which practically needs Fuel injection of some sort.

The seller was a friend of a friend, but he just kept giving me bullshit about “not sure I wanna sell it m7” and “got someone else interested”. Despite having laid some serious pipe into one of my friends over the course of several months, he wasn’t helping me out. I now suspect he knew it was pretty ripe and didn’t want to sell it to someone he knew. Fair enough I guess, but I wish he’d just said! Hope someone here takes it on - but looks like it’ll need revitalising and a tickled undercarriage. w00dy, Dick Longbridge and timolloyd 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 What does 'laying some serious pipe' into someone mean? I can imagine it in a '90's lad mag' context e.g. "I'd lay some serious pipe into that Philippa Forester/Gail Porter etc" but I suspect that's not the case here.

eddyramrod Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 A Herald sits on a proper chassis, so ratty bodywork is only a problem if it affects mounting/hinge points. The bonnet is a huge heavy item so that end is quite significant; but panel edges, for example, are much less serious than they might be on unitary-construction cars. It's easy for a Herald to look rough, yes; but it's a fair bit easier to fix than, say, a Morris 1100 or Ford Escort.

The herald doesn’t actually look too bad (although I haven’t seen underneath ). My dad Said he saved up enough money to move house by working overtime welding outriggers onto triumph heralds in the early 70’s.
