barrett Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 One of my dream cars is coming up for sale and I'm having to do a lot of soul-searching about this one. I was trying to remember where and when I first got wind of this chunky old beast, but it must have been at a very young age as it feels like I've always 'known' about it and it's stuck with me for 30 years or whatever. I knew it was at Brian May's place but didn't know any work had been done on it until after he died and all his stuff first went up for sale. Long before I could understand anything about vernacular postwar British coachbuilding I knew this thing looked 'weird' and that was appealing, and it seemed so mysterious and unknowable and I've just always been low-level obsessed with it. Anyway, it looks like this now Shame it's been done in such a heinous colour as the body resto actually looks pretty neat and tidy. Shame, also, that it's 'as-is' with no engine, running gear, interior or anything else, despite being a complete car when Brian got it and started the strip-down. I assume all the 'bits' are in there in the spares sale the following day but apart from the bumpers (with reg plates still attached) it's impossible to know what belonged to this car to begin with. The lack of engine does at least means its not really of any valuable to B ISTO CARS people (and it won't get broken up) and therefore might not really be worth very much at all... and it's no reserve. Lots to think about over the next few weeks. https://www.brightwells.com/timed-sale/5404/lot/612557 puddlethumper, D.E, Asimo and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 This looks quite smart. Nice colour. Anything wrong with it? Quote This car is a solid runner and has no major defects that would prevent it from being a run around. Excellent! That’s what I want to hear about a car. A bizarrely worded sentence to say it’s not got any major faults. Quote This car does however… Uh oh Quote …have a power output problem and most likely needs the turbo addressing, however this does not effect the drive ability and it still drives as it should, just has a little less power than this make and model would do. Right… does not affect the drive ability? Okay… can I read what your local Audi specialist recommended? Quote advise new turbo to be fitted along with new air filter and oil and filter change and oil feed pipe to the turbo. Abs and traction control light on also with a fault code for the rear right abs wheel speed sensor, advise new wheel bearing and abs sensor to be fitted’ …. Ok, um, about that “no major faults”… Quote The rear wiper works, as is a common fault on this model. A bargain then!
