PBK’s 1987 Lada 1200s

[HMC]

Until now I’ve had free reign to store vehicles in a private car park and in the not too distant future this option won’t be possible. 

Im putting this 1200s lada up for sale here for what I paid for it (£450) sort of half heartedly. I may put it up for a bit more on e bay or get it recommissioned in the summer and keep. At the moment nothing is happening with it which is a shame.

It’s a 1987 lada 1200s. Imported in about 2016 and MOTD at the time. It’s pretty solid but the back of the sill/ inner arch Join each side will need welding and there a couple of bits on the floor.  Cosmetically there various bumps and grazes and small areas of surface rust but the arches themselves, roof gutters etc all look good- it’s had some sort of aftermarket rustproofing looking at a Sticker on the rear door and bungs I’ve seen in box sections, but I’ve not had it up on a ramp so unable to give a full evaluation.  The interior is fairly tidy (those seat covers are gone and the seats are tan vinyl) although the membrane behind a couple of the door cards isn’t there and letting in a bit of water. I’ve got a cover on it at the mo.

It started drove and stopped off the trailer but apart from that I’m not able to report on its mechanical condition. The bonnet release is stuck although the  Lock is easily assessable beside a grille.
 

It’s located Tavistock, and I’d like £450 (what I negotiated it for from here)

The WANT level is off the charts.

Why do this to me? Why?

I DO NOT WANT THIS I DO NOT WANT THIS I DO NOT WANT THIS.

I lie. I want this. 

But I can't have it.

[purplebargeken]

Fuck it. Yes please

[purplebargeken]

Where the fuck is Tavistock? Lol

[purplebargeken]

Oh fuck.... just found it.

Autoshite! ASSEMBLE!!

I'm near Bristol, which is kind of on the way to Liverpool from Tavistock if I can help with a lift or anything.

Spoke to the wife, she no approve. I've got one already apparently, why would I need two? Queue me being in the dog house for pointing out the same thing about her shoes and handbags.

So good luck to the lucky son of a gun who gets this beauty. Still haven't made up my mind if I'm going for the MG's interior in mine, so if I don't I'd like to swap my red vinyl interior for this ones tanned goodness. Red interior blue car would look lush, I'm sure you'd agree!

Also got spare front brake disc dust covers, and a sill if needed that I don't need.

I think the only way it would work is if I swapped my Corolla for it. So she gets the benefit of me shifting a car she actually hates, with the added benefit of me getting another car she thinks she hates.

So someone buy my Corolla so I can buy this!!!!

SOALED

[Six-cylinder]

That stops me having to devise a narrative as to why I bought it! 

[BorniteIdentity]

Who's having it?! 

I would like to make a secret bet/prediction about an upcoming post in this thread!  

Meantime, I'm rather glad I didn't see this earlier on - otherwise there would have been a full on crisis!

Put it this way - I suspect that the pictures at the top of this thread will be the last photos we'll see of this car...

[purplebargeken]

Swine. Anyone would think that I.......

Fair point.

[DoctorRetro]

Dammit, missed it again 

[brownnova]

Dammit! Busy at work and miss this beauty! Great buy Ken... at least it’ll be nearer to me!

What?

It's ok, Wuvvum is only commenting on my lack of providing any kind of photographic evidence of anything I possess. However, I did provide photographic evidence of my new cat recently.

You can't drive a cat though.

[purplebargeken]

I have a Very Reasonable quote from W of C and am just waiting to hear from Wingz123 as well in the name of fairness and balance.

[purplebargeken]

Maybe not but having a cat does help you drive.

[loserone]

You planning on welding it up yourself Ken? Or shipping it out?

You don't possess a cat either.  A cat possesses you.

[purplebargeken]

Not sure mate, will need to have a proper look, clean it up and decide then.

[purplebargeken]

Picked up and will be dropped off on Tuesday morning. There may be pictures. May.
