Talbot Solara shite

[Captain Slow]

Came across an advert in a local antiques centre;

Talbot Solara Rapier, 1985, 39742 miles, new tyres, 1592cc, 1 previous owner, exceptional condition, £295 ovno

I shan't post the bloke's number on here but if anyone's interested email or PM me. He also seems to be breaking a Renault 4 and to have a number of Rover P6 spares.Thought of this place as soon as I saw the ad - what's more shite-worthy than a 2 tone blue Solara?

Where actually is it?

[Captain Slow]

Well, the advert was in an antiques centre in Elsecar near Barnsley, so I would presume the car's in the South Yorkshire area. I can't be any more precise as the phone number given is a mobile and so lacks an area code.Thought I'd mentioned it in my original post, my apologies for not doing so.

Breaking a Renault 4 you say? MOAR INFOZ PLZ.

ZOINKS. Though 'exceptional' condition does not guarantee good, could be exceptionally bad!!

[Albert Ross]

Do you think it's the two tone blue, or the red over silver, or the REALLY eBay rare two tone green? Maybe it's two-tone beige and rust...........Excellent if it is...

[Captain Slow]

It's blue. There was a pic, but it's terrible and my camera-phone hasn't helped...

I did ring the chap up about this. Apparently the chap selling it got it 2 years ago and its been in his garage ever since. He did try putting it through an MOT but it failed on a small amount of welding on the floor, but i suppose it depends on what your definition of 'small' is as to how bad this is. There were a couple of other minor points which i forget but dont think it was anything alarming.He was away with work for 3 weeks and by the time he got back i had gone and bought a GT6 instead (that common alternative to a Talbot Solara).Not sure if it is still there, but from speaking to him it sounds like its been up for sale for a while and Elsecar Antiques Centre as far as i know, is not the greatest advetising platform in the world.

I am sufficiently interested to make a half-arsed enquiry. Can you PM me the number?

[Guest]

Bollox, as your "Autoshite Anonymous" sponsor, I forbid you to make enquiries about this motor. Stay strong!
