Same.

Well I don't think it'd get very far at the moment...

Depends on what people will pay per ticket I guess. 

At the moment we are at 8.50 per ticket, but even at 10 quid per ticket, it only gives us 90 quid to spend on it...

When it goes for roffle stick me down for two lucky dips please. Would look good with the c15, zx,bx and xm!

If Wuv is happy with this, my 1/5th owner view is get the leak fixed and go straight to roffle.

I'm sure me or another co-owner can run the lotto.

[loserone]

I wondered about £10 a ticket and the winner gets anything over group expenditure back.  I.e. with luck a free collection fund.

 

Obviously no-one would get far with the split pipe, but in theory no reason not to start building the list? Separate thread I would think.  @egg, would you like the honours? I don't mind either.

Thanks to Wuv for looking it over today, seems like we haven't been done over at least. 

I'm happy to run the roffle, in fact I did run one for Wuv's MX5 last year.

If @TheDoctor, @Wingz123 and @spartacus are happy with that I'll start the thread.

How about £10 a ticket or £18 for two just to keep it moving on?

HML says there are a 23 taxed Visas. Total rarity this!

[Broadsword]

Based on the photos, that looks remarkably in the sort of condition that with some minor fettling it could become much more usable and hospitable to sit in. I'm quite impressed.

[egg]

Goes without saying - if any of the co-owners want tickets (I probably will) it will just be deducted from your investment* refund after the roffle is fully-funded.

[wuvvum]

One caveat with running the roffle now - I obviously had to put the car into my name so it won't be able to be collected until the V5C arrives - if seller does it online that should only be a week or so, but if he posts it off it could take a bit longer.

[egg]

No probs Wuv, as it's January, it might take a little while to sell out and also happy to postpone the draw date until you have a V5 in your name...

[loserone]

I think that's fair enough @wuvvum, whilst it might be a bit confusing the whole purchase apart from sending you money is in public on here, so everyone knows the crack if they care to find out.

 

I'll definitely have a trio for blunt instruments

[wuvvum]

Oh, two things I forgot to mention earlier - the boot doesn't seem to want to lock (think the lock barrel may have seized) and the speedo needle developed a case of the shakes towards the end of the journey home last night.

They all do that sir, both things.

Yep, lets do this, no harm in getting names together at very least.

On this subject, put me down for a couple of randoms.

Probably about 30 running Visas as I think the last figure is with SORNed for the winter including 3 of mine that have MOTs and are on the button, but hiding from the salt.

[egg]

I'll get the roffle thread going (I hope no-one minds if it goes in the main forum section) when Spartacus and Wingz have given their blessing.

[brownnova]

I’ll have at least two random tickets...

Yeah man, sorry for the delay, I've been watching the thread all day up until a couple of hours ago!

Roffle away!

[TheIsleofShite]

It’s been great following this. Glad the collection went relatively smoothly. It doesn’t look too bad, as soon as I saw it advertised I was thinking how rotten it might have been.

I’d like to enter the raffle...I’m new here so someone will have to explain to me how it works. It would be nice to bring this little thing down to the Isle of Wight where it would live a easy life.

@egg - I sent Wings123 a text last night and he said 

So we are good to go

Yeah, mine isn't off the road for any reason other than I've not got round to testing it. Might do it in the next couple of weeks.

So five of you bought it but none of you want it?! Only here!
 

I’m not sure I’d be able to just pass it on without littering my office car park with it for a wee while first... 

[spartacus]

I'd like it but realistically I'm up to capacity, at least this way it'll hopefully stay in the fold and there's chance at a shot later.

What he said. 

I'd roffle the AX and daily the Visa, but I suspect I'm not quite the right person to look after it properly. It really needs some TLC and attention, not pushed into service immediately. Oh, and the wheels and bonnet need to stay the colour they are ??

None of us can afford it right out.  It'd be class, but no way I'd invest 600£ in getting it home as it's mostly unsuitable.  But if I won it ..

 

£100 is a lot of money, but it's not so much we can't entrust in an old rare Citroën.

No sorry. I wasn’t being a moneywanker (I’m poor AF atm)

I meant wouldn’t one of you five want to run it for a few months and then divest later in the year? It’s bought now - why not take a deep breath and see where you’re at in a few weeks time? It won’t really change in value - you can always cash out via raffle. 

It might be that none of you are desperate for your £century back - which means a few of you can get a go in it.

If none of you want to steam about in it, then that’s why I LOL’d. Only here.
