Faker Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) So the A3 tdi and the k11 Micra Si 1.3 are heading off to new ownership. The search for a fun beater has turned up a rather unusual vehicle that I never actually knew existed! Very very common vehicle but just a very unusual spec. Updates to follow tomorrow when collection begins!

Datsuncog Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 My money's on a base spec Audi TT. With a 4-speed gearbox, an analogue clock in place of a tachometer, and fragile shiny grey interior plastics like an unpainted Airfix kit. Bon appetit. w00dy, warch, juular and 9 others 1 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokinWaffle Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 K11, Prefacelift Diesel. If it is - dibs. Not even sure one exists in the UK. Can't say I've ever even seen one in the wild anywhere else in a picture or anything. But they do exist! Faker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faker Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 So here it is. Little Yaris SR.... 12 odd years old... and an 1800cc. Never knew they were a thing until a couple of days ago.. and this was the only one for sale in Ireland (north or south). basically an updated or de-tuned Celica 1.8VVTi engine with 133bhp. It’s an absolute hoot!!! 108, Minimad5, HarmonicCheeseburger and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Should be brave and nippy with the 1.8 in it - sounds like the sort of things Australians would confect for no real reason. Is it badged as a T-Sport, or just standard enough trim but specced with a big motor? Faker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucket seats, fancy front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a boot spoiler etc. Drives just like my old Group N (EG) Civic rally car I had about 20 years ago! Right rapid wee thing - not exactly blistering in the slightest.... but more than capable Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
