SiC Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Very excited, even if its happened all a bit quickly! Bought sight unseen in person and sold as a restoration project - despite it looking alright from the photos online. But as we all know, pictures never lie unless on a car advert. So a little bit nervous on this one too! Carlosfandango, Fabergé Greggs, BlankFrank and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It’s left the seller’s “compound” ? Is it an ex - dictators limo? They are fond of compounds if memory serves, plus dictators are often dishonest which would deffo raise the stakes here. FSH?

Compound is actually a Christmas tree farm where he stores his cars! Back story is that the trader took this in part-ex for a XJ8 he was selling. He got told the car I've bought was in excellent condition and pictures were from it been restored 7 years ago... The car was collected sight unseen and he isn't too happy. Did say he was going to sue the last seller for difference in value. Latest pictures show it detoriated a bit and it's sold as a restoration project. Bit of a crap shot as it doesn't look that bad and going by the other stock the trader is selling, I expect he was expecting a absolutely mint, concourse example. I got it for not a too bad price as these things go and it was last MOT'd in 2018, expired (not failed) in Nov 2019 so hopefully not that bad! ?

NorfolkNWeigh Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 That you’re incredulous at its absence should be a big clue in itself. That and your BL perversions lead me to believe its an Allegro. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2flags Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The anticipation here is overwhelming. I too would consider expanding my fleet if three conditions could be met, 1. I had some money 2. I had some space. 3. I had a decent workshop. As none of these conditions are likely to be met I feel my fleet will have to remain as it is.

anonymous user Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It will be something that doesn't need an mot probably crusty enough for more welding practice and from the BMC/BL group. You have enough sporty cars already, so probably a porridgey saloon. So, Allegro, Princess, 1800, 2200, Oxford/Cambridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
