More clues

Apparently on 23 left on the road in this trim level

That doesn't narrow it down at all.

I think it rules out anything jap...

[bramz7]

I was about to say the same thing, but I am reasonably sure the only cars I have owned with differing manufactures for engine are Rovers and diesel Volvos. French stuff doesn't tend to venture elsewhere for engines..... 

 

Unless it's a Safrane with a Volvo engine, that would be a pretty cool buy. Unlikely mind.

[BorniteIdentity]

Honda 216 in bronze.

Saloon?

[DoctorRetro]

The most important things to me are:

Manual gearbox

MOT until April.

Pre 1994.

Ah I thought you said it was only a year older than your last vehicle, which was a W reg Almera,  I thought.

Or you mean a year older than your last model of this car, gotcha!

Rover 216 then, but i'm late to the party with that guess I know.

No, one year older than my last car on the Lancaster policy....

Almera was on my Esure policy.

[DoctorRetro]

Oh, and nobody has guessed it correctly yet, apart from one person who may get the award on a technicality. 

[Schaefft]

Without reading the thread: Isuzu diesel powered Cavalier.

Think I'm going to need to take it easy on the way home, it hasn't done a lot of miles recently...

That's more miles than my Jeep had done in the 5 years prior to my purchase and 200 mile drive home.

Make sure you take some tools to twat the brakes if they're binding.

[bigfella2]

What about a renna engined Ovlov 440.

[DoctorRetro]

Fuck, missed an earlier train. 

 

Still on schedule, I just prefer to be early

Or a Peugeot/Delorien engined 740. 

[BorniteIdentity]

Vintage Peugeot with VAG turbo engine and 4x4 running gear?

[EssDeeWon]

Isn't it quicker and cheaper for you to use C2C trains from Leigh rather than those Abellend Later Angrier Trains?

More of a pain in the arse to get to Leigh on sea station from Progress Road... 

[DoctorRetro]

Another 'clue' 

Even though I think it looks blue, the seller called the colour 'Smoked Silver' 

[skattrd]

Va**hall with an Isuzu engine

[bramz7]

Okay so if it's something I've owned it can't be a Mercedes or Vauxhall. 

 

Rover 800.

Does it spoil it to post my guess if I'm pretty certain I've found it?

Yes. Wanker. ?

[Ghosty]

RELIABLE HONDA ENGINE

 

I note the ad says 'only driven 60 miles in the last year'.

Keep your eyes on the temperature gauge, D-Series don't like being laid up.

There's always one negative person... 

Ssh. ?

[loserone]

Looking forward to seeing how much better the local reliable Honda engine is than the MOTless high mileage French chod ?

 

Good luck!
