That was the second car I ever drove, and the first time I experienced 100mph (not me driving). It holds some fond memories and I'd love to take that on but am seriously lacking the skills to put it back on the road. Hope it finds a good home.

wuvvum Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I'm not sure how much work it would need to get through a test. If it's as solid as it looks from the photos it might be fairly straightforward. The thing that lets it down most is the fact that it has been painted with a broom, but that's not an obstacle to getting it usable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hey, is it just me or does £2500 ONO seem like INSANE VALU for a Mk3 Spitfire. Scruffy and two shades of red, but fully restored a while back with a rebuilt engine and various sensible sounding upgrades, and is 'mechanically superb' https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324976063361 For comparison, this one is on an auction and is already more expensive I don't have any money but I'm trying to stop myself going to buy that tomorrow. Good job it's really far away. Talk me out of/ into it? Nullzwei, BeEP, adw1977 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same transmission in my Kadett 1.3. It's fine, doesn't feel sluggish and isn't much thirstier than the (manual) 1.2. I'd only steer clear if the intend is to do a lot of motorway driving.

We often take the mutt out for walks in Whitstable.

lesapandre Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It's very cheap for something drive away...but these XM don't seem to have got significantly valuable mostly. The turbo-diesels go very well. Yes Whitstable is very nice but then so is the whole Kent coast in most parts. wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard suspension is probably just spheres need doing (easy job) .

AnnoyingPentium Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Honestly wouldn't mind this, if I could afford it, the insurance, or the expenses that are required to get the damned thing home haha. ... my birthday is coming up lads... just saying https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202108136208054 Only 45k and only £1,690, seems a bit off to me, to be honest. One of the arches at the back looks a wee bit... crunchy, but definitely repairable I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
