Shame it's twelve hundred for a damaged non-runner. If it were half the price, we'd be having discussions over who's going for it.

Good find, Junkmonkey!

If I had the kit to perform an engine transplant, I'd fancy this, albeit I don't know what his reserve is. M62s can't be that hard to come by (non-shagged ones possibly a bit harder).

Edit: just in case anyone wasn't aware, the manual box in these is hen's teeth, and thus (according to PPC mag at least) worth ££££ as they're in demand from people sticking V8s into older BMWs.

Exactly what I was thinking! Here's one of them

Survival rates of these convertibles must be good as there always seems to be a few on ebay at any given time, albeit in various states of fucked-ness.

 

It's madness when you think about it. Take a car that rusts quite a bit, lop the roof off and they last longer than tin toppers. One of these, and an estate model, would pretty much complete the tick list.

You somehow make it sound as if you had a choice???

My Allegro resurfaces:

Everything works as it should with the exception of the radio

 

...that you installed! 

 

 

 

and one of the front fog lights do not work

 

The loose connection got loose again. 

 

 

£2,650.00

 

That's what I'd have asked if I'd gone through with my plan of fixing the paint issues.

'Car is TAX EXEMPT COME 20TH JAN 2017'

 

 

Is that even true?

 

Not yet. The current exemption requires a build date before 1 Jan 1976. That will probably be changed to 1 Jan 1977 in about April this year. I assume from the ad that this car was registered in Jan 77, which means that it was probably built in 1976. If the owner got a heritage certificate to show build date pre 77, the car could could go tax free later this year. Otherwise, wait until next year.

Barried pile of wank. Halfords cheapy turbo badge, those skirts / body kit / whatever the fuck it is, cheap multifit alloys, superfluous vents on the rear quarters. Also, why 2 separate exhausts on a 4-cylinder engine with but one turbocharger fitted? Barry barry barry.

 

All that plus the lovely (but very heavy) leather interior suggest it was never a bloody racing car. Ever.

 

Verdict = shit not shite.
