OOH thats nice and only 20 miles from me but ive already had a warning from the inlaws about getting their drive back now the Midgets gone !!

[Cavcraft]

Well worth saving and not badly priced asuming it has some MOT or doesn't need to much to get one.I'd be all over that like a rash if I had any dosh and it's not that far away either.

[Dukestar25]

I'd be all over that like a rash if I had any dosh

you and me both but alas I don't have any spare scratch either... I hate being skint!!!

[Timewaster]

I just worked out that it is 20 miles from Dukestar25 - not 20 miles from me!

 

D'oh!

[FredTransit]

That's extremely tempting! Refresh my memoury, when did the jelly mould come out?

[Milford Cubicle]

1982 I think.That's a very pure-looking Sierra, it'd be a shame if it became a kit car donor.

[Pete-M]

It's about 30 miles from me... That looks awfully familiar to me, that Sierra. It's a 'Blakes' registration - so originally from the Epicentre of the Universe that is Liverpool.There used to be a 2.3D one like that in my street.

[Cavcraft]

Anyone less lazy than I am want to find out if there's any test or rent on it?

[Pete-M]

While you're on, ask if they've got a moon on a stick.Then ask how long the stick is.And whether anyone has ever smoked near the moon.Because that's similar to the muppetry I'm getting about the P6.

[Dukestar25]

They're all coming out now

 

Mk1 Fester anyone..?

Take it that tidy P6 for sale in your link is the one in question? Looks seriously well priced to me, surely people aren't acting the dickhead over it?

Yup, yup, yup.It's not perfect, but it drives very sweetly indeed, goes well, isn't expensive, and passed the MOT without as much as an advisory notice.What the hell do people want for £995? I'd pay that for it (if I didn't already own it).Actually, this forum is dangerously close to Tobacco Leaf innit?

[Cavcraft]

Utter madness. I know it's a PITA but worth holding on until the 'season's starts again and knocking some for sale signs up and taking it to a classic car show?I cannot believe people are moaning over that, it's got a full test so what the holy crap baggers do they want?

[vicsmith]

I think the kit car lot have moved on from 1600 pintos, they usually want to chop up XR4x4s or similar for their contraptions. Not only that but just because someone tries to determine a car`s fate by the advert text does not mean it will work out like that, "It`s his car and he can do what he likes with it" works in reverse, too, it doesn`t always apply to someone pig-headedly ruining something as part of a wanky ego trip. It certainly looks a straight car, and by virtue of what it is warrants a closer look from someone in the vicinity.

That Sierra look pretty good for the money, even has the 4 speed box, Strange that it has electric front windows on a 'L' Model though.

I just worked out that it is 20 miles from Dukestar25 - not 20 miles from me!D'oh!

I think everyone thought the same!
