Skizzer Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 1 hour ago, inconsistant said: "all the rest of the car is original and genuine" That should be on 10inch wheels shouldn't it? Our old A reg Mini Mayfair had 10s, thought the 12inches came in on B reg. Still nice though. Bigger wheels and arch extensions were a factory option on the Mayfair in 83, so could be original. My God that Buick is hideous. inconsistant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 7 hours ago, BeEP said: That's a shame, especially given the hours/miles he put into collecting it! Indeed - I'm not selling it with any degree of enthusiasm. I need to be realistic though - to get it reliably mobile again I need to replace the ring gear, which means the engine needs to come out. I don't have anywhere to do that - I don't have space on my drive (and I don't think it'd go down too well with neighbours / landlady if I tried), and attempting to do it on the residents' car park would really be taking the piss. The only way it'd get done is if I paid a garage to transport it away and do the work, and there's no way I can afford that at the moment. Plus I'm still spreading myself far too thin. If I can concentrate on just a couple of projects (the Renault 6 and the Innocenti, and the Spacy for 2-wheeled fun and frolics), they stand a small chance of getting done, in between having to sort the moderns (this weekend's job is to replace a front wishbone on the Mondeo). So the Merc is up for sale, and the CX and (potentially) the 164 will be going up on C&C very shortly as well. BeEP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My God that Buick is hideous. The optional wheels would have been 10inch x165 Exacton (aka mini special) alloys. I'd imagine 10inch tyres are harder to find these days which might explain it. It's got an MG metro rocker cover too. I'll hang my anorak up now still nice to see an almost original mayfair though. My first car in 1997 was almost the same but Zircon blue with the 10 inch alloys. inconsistant, Skizzer and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always seemed a bit tiny to me, but I guess 80hp was the same as the Tipo 1.4, so probably adequate. Odd to see quite a well specced one now. the 1.4 was the engine to avoid at all costs, had it in a tipo and it shat itself, had it in a brava and it shat itself. Goddamn 1.4 fiat engine.

nigel bickle Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I've several 1.4's in Bravas, Bravo's, Tipo's etc. They all seem fine to me Prefer the 2.0 (hgt) though, unsurprisingly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
