Wow.  Does that mean it has a turbocharged version of the round-the-corner-fanbelt diesel engine? :shock:

 

Peugeot 104 petrol engine according to the advert   "Moteur 104 essence"

 

I think I saw that at the 1980 NEC Motor Show

I love these Rover 45 V6's, and this one will be super cheap due to the gearbox (which I would like to chuck out anyway in favour of a manual one) playing up but look at it. Flippin 'McDonalds Red' paintwork with beige carpets and grey leather seats (which are the dismal 'project drive' seats that look like Kia Magentis minicab efforts). What a crock of shite

Is there not some sort of law about what % of a car can overhang the rear wheels? I just googled it and it said this:

 

 

The maximum overhang to both the front and back of a vehicle (including trailers) is:

  • Front: 60 per cent of the distance from the centre of your front wheels to the front of your vehicle.
  • Back: 60 per cent of the distance from the centre of your front wheels to where the overhang starts.

You should also make sure that the load isn't too heavy for the roof and the roof rack and that it is safely secured at all times. You should mark overhangs with a bright cloth.

I am none the wiser.

I presume that shite heap started life as a Sierra estate. I'd love to know how you can fasten a flipping big overhung tub off the back of a Sierra estate shell, that can carry more than a bag of crisps in payload. The P100's have got a massive thick front-to-back chassis leg welded to either side of the floorpan that goes right to the front of the car, they almost have a separate chassis that happens to have a sierra front tub welded on top of it. I doubt very much whether this thing has any such reinforcement so I expect the rear tub to rip clean off the first time you go over a speedbump with a bag of cement in.

I've got Nankangs all round on my 330 clubsport, they're great tyres!

New Nankangs on my MR2 last year; great tyres, huge grip, plenty of wet weather ability, very good indeed for normal and fast road use (proper quiet twisty roads in mid-Wales and the North Pennines).

 

Did much research before buying, and I conclude that, based on their supposed learned discourse, the absolute braggart fuckwits on the PH forum pages who insisted that Nankangs are shite know bugger all about tyres; still rankles me a year later!

 

And rest . . .

My guess is that the above regulation refers, not to the body overhang but to the amount of LOAD that can overhang at front or rear of a vehicle. So for example if you had a plank of wood on your roof rack the proportions referred to indicate the length which could overhang the bonnet at the front and at the boot or tailgate at the rear. The last line puzzles me though. Maybe it should read "60% of the distance from the centre of your REAR wheels to where the overhang starts". Could be wrong but that's my guess. It's also probably why the wording refers to hanging a coloured cloth from the end.

Interesting mirror arrangement:

Hence want.

A couple of the 16s I've had came to me with the same arrangement. Don't know why they should be like this.

Tried to look past the 50:50 split that seems to characterise views on the NS-2. Took the plunge and was deeply disappointed. Nankangs seem popular with the 'poke and stretch' brigade because of the weird aspect ratios you can buy them in, 

 

Stuck a set on my C4 and the NS-2s turned it into a understeering, twitchy bag of shite. Pulled them off after 400 miles and stuck all four in a pile in the corner of UNIT_STOCKPORT; they're still there five years later. Andy wanted to scrap a knackered rolling 9000 shell and wouldn't even use them for that. Felt a bit pissed off I'd wasted nigh on £300. More than that, I agreed with the company sales director cage fighters on Autoshite. Vile.

It is expressed better somewhere in C&U where rear overhang cannot exceed 60% of wheelbase...........but then the polis don't like to express things too clearly as it makes it too easy when the try to nick you incorrectly. See also 'Towing' or 'driving to a pre booked MoT'

How to best present a £20,000 car for sale?

 

How about the 'abandoned on that bit of urban wasteland between the canal and the disused railway goods yard' look?

Yo MarvinsMom, if you ever move out here, save on shipping and buy this on arrival:

Electric front windows!

 

that works out at around £1300, but you can pay that now for a Metro, all it really needs is a pump up for the suspension.

 

lovely little thing, are old british motors common in kiwi land? i'd have thought that oldish jap cars were the order of the day?
