Oh my me.  If that's still for sale come payday (unlikely I appreciate) I might find myself doing something silly.

 

I bet these big petrol v6 Vel Sausages are great. Well worth 500 quid even if you get a few months out of it before you get in one morning and it's rewired itself and thinks it's a toaster.

I got offered  aTT for a grand a few months ago. Even though it was cheap enough to fire my WCPGW sensor, which normal means I'd buy it with subsequent disastrous consequences I knocked it back.

Sure enough I spotted it on gumtree a couple of weeks later with the new owner trying to offload it with a load of random electrical faults.

 

I'd like one but I think they can be awkward VAG shite money pits if you get a bad one.

This looks like a pretty fair offer to me.

The Ro 80 is ready to drive away. The engine has good compression.

The following has already been done:

 

front wheel bearings

all new hoses

spark plugs

plug leads

water pump with ceramic bearing

carburetter rebuilt

 

Interior finished in black velours (not torn), door panels black (without  speaker holes), removable towbar, electric sunroof.

 

Repairs needed: The cross member needs a small bit of welding, a CV boot has to be replaced, front shock absorbers should be changed.

 

The Ro is currently registered with H approval.

 

Nice car to drive. Best have a look!

Bet they can. I had an A6 on a V reg with the 1.8T albeit the 150bhp one and it was a pig sometimes

 

Proper VAG sensor laden bollocks that makes a Laguna II look like a sensible ownership proposition.

Why does Ebay let people make mental 'rules' like this?

 

Ebay has almost no control over the fact that in the UK Ebay is full of self-important egomaniacs.

dead easy to fill

Yeah, if you are one of the dodgy brothers

 

also, a 6 cylinder, single headlight, bench seat, poverty pack P76? I thought they were extinct, everyone kept the posho V8s but scrapped the boggo 6s.

 

The bloke selling the Allegro has STACKS of car imported from the UK and is slowly selling them off. I nearly bought a series 3 Allegro HLS from him that needed all the panels except the shell replaced.

This looks like a punt and a half. There could be something spesh in there or a dust pan and brush job.

Have you seen the bidding on this?  It's pushing £1500 now, since the *excellent new photos were added.

My Mum had one of these 1400 Colt Lancers.  She loved it as it was so dependable (with a brilliant heater) after her Viva, but it was worthless.  I can remember the T-stick auto shifter even now.  Someone clouted and broke the rear lens and the insurer wrote it off because of 'parts prices'.  This was 1991, when 8-year old Japanese cars were still openly sneered at
