sludgeguts Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 After a lengthy break from proper shite motoring I'm back with a vengeance! Facebook marketplace really came up with the goods, £200 later I'm the proud owner of this heap (pics below). It's a 416 SLi. Whilst cosmetically challenged, it drives spot on, very comfy although very low geared, over 3000 rpm at 70mph. Needs a few jobs such as the driver's window sorting, service and I plan to attend to the bodywork in due course........ Anyway, I'll keep you all updated on progress on this and the rest of the fleet (2002 Passat PD130 Sport and an 02 plate Pug 206, should there be any interest on those). Anyway, enough of the waffle. Here's the pics..... jumpingjehovahs, davocano, clayts450 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommotech Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Looks a good buy, well done. I do have a soft spot for R8 Rovers, I was resident engineer at Longbridge for PSA when the XUD engine was being installed. I would love a Tourer, diesel of course.

ETCHY Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 That's very nice, well done. It's funny I never gave those a second glance back in the day but now think they look rather cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the bloke selling it had loads of interest. Bloody chuffed so far with it ? clayts450 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
