Have we had this? 97 825 diesel, with MOT until April for £999

Now that’s what I call grey 1996.

This car has had a reported £60,000 spent on a major restoration..... A significant modification and part of the restoration was removing the running gear and replacing it with a 2.8 Nissan diesel engine and automatic gearbox

Why do I like this..?

Yes, but not in my quoted bit. Beware folks. Still £60k on a reliable daily car that’s done 700miles since seems a little weird.

True, but not as weird as binning a Jaguar XK straight six and chucking in a Diesel truck engine out of a mid-1990s Nissan Patrol FFS.

Yes! Why on earth would anyone do this?

Every time I look at my XK6 equipped Jag I think about binning it, but that is probably due to my ease of access to a Ford Barra Turbo.

Sounds like one of those things that seemed a good idea at the time,  but not once the conversion work was completed.

on a more serious note, what are coventry climax/hillman imp engines like for spares? since rootes/hillmans are bad for spare parts i'm guessing that there isn't much about for an imp, much less for a bond?

Imps are pretty well supported engine parts wise, their continued Motorsport pedigree helps greatly in that regard.  Mechanically these feature the complete Imp running gear and trailing arm set up. The front Suspension set up is quite interesting as it tilts - leaning the car in to corners to aid stability - theoretically! Its the bushings for this front end set up which wear and perish and are made of unobtainium.

That Peugeot needs saving, then preserving. GIB.

Wonder where else it is advertised. Be interesting to see what sort of money they are asking  - it's a rare model, essentially a 5 door XS, so 205 enthusiasts (i.e. GTi owners) might be all over it. The mileage will surely put people off though?

I've just bought a 'survivor', if I hadn't I'd be trying hard to buy this. Inexplicably, (although possibly not on this forum), the mileage is just an added bonus to me. I could buy it safe* in the knowledge I'm owning and driving a vehicle of historic* significance*...

And yes, it's a GT.

I have to stop now, otherwise I may do something foolish.

They've been asking "what it's worth mister" on all the 205 groups on facebook for a week or so

I'm 140 miles away but if I can help anybody on here in the process of buying it then I will. It deserves to be saved.

I have no idea on value though!
