But what I find most frightening about this is that some parts seem impossible to get hold of as rear shock absorbers for example and that is a problem. Rock Autos in the "great" US of A. Had a major problem trying to find suitable rear shocks for my MGB that weren't foooking ridiculous expensive as it had been previously converted from lever arms. Cost about a third of the price from Rock, delivered in about a week. eddyramrod and Dyslexic Viking 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost about a third of the price from Rock, delivered in about a week. I have checked and Rock auto also does not have rear shock absorbers for these. I have now checked all the places I know of and no one has. On Autodoc, they come up in parts search but no one is in stock. And I think what other parts can it be that are impossible to obtain for these? We have similar to MOT on all cars here newer than 1959 and it is strict so lack of parts can take a car off the road for good. Must probably let this one pass which is a shame.. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busmansholiday Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The shocks I ended up with were for some GM crap that never sold in the UK. They were though the right length and load rates but I had to "modify" the mountings with an angry grinder to remove the offsets. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyslexic Viking Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Another car I have looked at that is close to me is this 1978 Ford Fairmont estate with strait six engine and manual transmission that I like. And only 55,000 miles but it is unfortunately too expensive for me right now but it has been for sale for a long time so could be lucky. It's for sale for £ 3,700. outlaw118, wuvvum, Surface Rust and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, that timing belt must be on borrowed time at 122k! You'd hope the belt wouldn't be too expensive to do one one of these. It would be a nervous drive home though.

cort16 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 You had to special order those base Dacias I think. They really wanted you to spend the extra 1500 quid or what ever it was on some luxuries. It’s still baffling to me how they managed to sell them for that price with a warranty and make anything . Justwatching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 There was one of those Smart thingies at a local car show I went to a couple of years ago, predictably driven by a fat middle-aged man. I spent quite a long time looking at it in detail and I can safely say it is the most embarrassing vehicle I've ever seen. I reckon you'd look less of a pillock driving one of those Banham Bat things. The worst bit is there is nowhere to hide, you're fully on display for members of the public to point and laugh as you drive by. Absolutely tragic.

willswitchengage Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Anyone like 340s? I went to see this today. I probably won't buy but the seller is a really sound guy. The ad kept getting uploaded to / deleting from Gumtree every few hours for some reason but it's still for sale. He quite happily let me test drive it around with him just sat outside his flat! Drives well, service historyish, but genuine one owner since new. It was a fun car but is very UV damaged and the bodywork is a lot work than it looks. No rust though. Exhaust is blowing but he said he's going to try and put it through an MOT. Isopon, Shite Ron, worldofceri and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
