Club SE 1.8 (Kettle) with lengthy ticket but shoddy history for 300 bucks - where do I sign ?

 

Ah, nowhere - first signs of Project Drive right there - no torpedo, airbag sign surrounded by plastic wood on the dash....

 

But, £300....Sorely tempted, but leather > velour, right ? In Manchester

I quite fancy one of these BRM's but probably not this one. It seems that it must of had a load of work since it failed in 2014

Reason(s) for failure
  • Nearside Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect (1.8.A.1b)
  • Offside Headlamp aim beam image obviously incorrect (1.8.A.1b)
  • Battery insecure (1.9.1)
  • Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Offside rear parking brake recording little or no effort (3.7.B.6a)
  • Parking brake: efficiency below requirements (3.7.B.7) Dangerous
Advisory notice item(s)
  • Service brake: service brake efficiency only just met. It would appear that the braking system requires adjustment or repair. (3.7.B.7)
  • vehicle started to overheat emissions test aborted
  • offside rear tyre wall cracked

^ the T16, even a normally aspirated one is a much, much better engine than the friggin' KV6.

 

You're right, it's the T not the M - corrected.

Aftermarket Steering Wheels are one of my biggest pet hates. They ALL look shit.

^^this.....

 

as i've gotten older the more intolerant i've become of all aftermarket tat "kids" put on their cars and the more i like cars to be just as they left the factory.

 

just behind crap steering wheels are gash aftermarket alloy wheels.

 

most to those too look terrible.

 

sadly mini's and landrovers, which i really like, seem to be the vehicles most likely to be "ruined" with aftermarket tat.

 

checkerplate is another thing i cannot stand.

Cheap V12 XJS.  MOT history is a little odd though - the tax apparently expired two years after the last MOT.

I honestly had no idea that being like John Lennon costs a lot less than a house.

Considering that you'll never need to buy another car, drive this until they pry your dead fingers from the steering wheel

and your children and then your grandchildren will do the same afterwards, it's actually quite a fair deal.
