Dyslexic Viking Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 B2 Passat estate is rare enough but a B2 Passat estate with 5 cylinder engine is extremely rare. And in addition, this has only had one owner and only 140,000 km. I'm struggling now as I really want this but have a hard time getting it. And it makes me angry and frustrated. https://www.finn.no/car/used/ad.html?finnkode=240789997 Yoss, MisterH, Asimo and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the paint has some weird issues going on though which is a shame. It seems to be going through owners fairly quickly.

And the difference a little good detailing can make to a car. Ford would never have made the mistakes BL did. This has a bit of jewellery that lifts the design from the everyday and looks better overall than the Princess production cars. Front looks better than the bland Princess with grille and bonnet ridge - and what marketing guru thought abandoning established brand names in favour of naff Princess was a good idea. Having darker and more sports looking wheels sets off the body and improves the stance. This does not seem to suffer from that 'rump-up' look that the Princess seem to have which made them look so gooney. It also looks better with a body-colour C-pillar. Also a decent colour does it a lot of favours I thought these looked awful but can now see what Harris Mann was after looks-wise. BL seemed always to grab failure from the jaws of success. You can see how an MG version would have worked as well. Interesting comparison with the Lancia which was a much more expensive car and points the way to what a 'Mk2' "Princess" could have looked like with integrated bumpers and rubbing strip and darker cills modernising the body. Why mess about with Ambassador when a hatch on the Princess wd have worked just fine. Remspoor, richardmorris, nomiST and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was a quick car, unfortunatly for me I bought the 6 speed manual geared sporting brand new in year 2000 from Dixon motors of Grimsby. Biggest pile of steaming shite I've had the misfortune to purchase, engine was rattling after 1500 miles, cv joints knackered at 2000 miles. Steering faults and lots of other niggles. £11500 Brand new and they offered £7500 at 6 months old. Utter creatins . And it was bloody slow, had to keep going through the 6 speed box to maintain a pace, a standard cinquecento was nearly as quick, so dread to think what the slush box would be like face 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyslexic Viking Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 After the difficulties I have with getting cars, I have started looking at trucks. And 3.5 ton car transporters are expensive. So have started looking at options this here is more in my price class. https://www.finn.no/car/used/ad.html?finnkode=213227646 This is a 1973 Opel Blitz with 70 horsepower petrol engine so cross country trips fully loaded through the mountains in Norway would probably be exciting.

Last MOT was nearly 4 years ago and had a sticky calliper. It’s not been driven for 3 years and I guarantee you’ll have trouble with the entire braking system. in addition, DO NOT try and change the clutch on axle stands and even then, expect it to take twice as long as any other car you’ve done. Ask me how I know 😂 There’s a reason why the clutch is £80 and the labour over £300 Remspoor, NigeT and Dick Longbridge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
