Ok, so where do i begin?

 

I had a 306 HDI whihc got wrote off about a month ago, after receiving a settlement from my insurers, (£850), i threw all of the money at this alfa 156. I bought it sold as seen, drove it home, and it had a slight misfire. so i whipped the plugs out, and cleaned them up, and that sorted the issue.

 

But, on the way to tesco some 30 minutes later, the car started bellowing smoke, and started to produce a god awful rattle at 3k, so i limped it home and parked it up. it starts, and will rev to 3k when it makes a noise so i wouldnt take it any further. I have been told it needs a cam variator? I am unsure as its only since this noise it smokes.

 

The car has 77k, i have NO service history as the garage i bought it from 'lost' it. It has the dark blue leather inside, which apart from drivers wear(nothing serious) is spotless. The rear seats look untouched. Cosmetically, the car is brilliant for an S-reg, aside from a bit of evidence of a minor scrape on the near side rear door.

 

It has alloys fitted, the rcl doesnt work off the fob but ok on the door locks. There is only one key which is red, i presume a master key?

 

The car will need fixing, i wouldnt recommend driving away , as it will engulf everybody within a 5 mile radius with smoke.

If crashing through a hedge is your bag, this is the car for you.

If 205 Gits were as dangerous as people make out then I shouldn't have survived past my 25th birthday, Cos I had one and drove it like a twat! :mrgreen:

 

Best car (for a slightly deranged 20 something petrol head) of evar!

I used to hate them, in fact I can still smell that musty-spicy smell they all seemed to have.

I rather fancy one now :oops:

Wouldn't kick this outta bed, either.

I had that car (I think.From memory, the reg is real similar). Ran it between '97 and '99 until it developed a rod knock and the floor fell out of it. The local tin merchant came and picked it up at that point, gave me 50 quid for it. I never saw it again. Seven clock dash in it too, I've never seen another one.

That's a George Cowley special.

"THAT'S MR COWLEY TO YOU!"

 

Didn't the same car appear in The New Avengers piloted by Patrick Macnee aka John Steed?

Say what you like about Brian Clemens but he knew how to write a 70's TV show and seemed to have an affinity for BL vehicles; the man can't be all bad!

This scabby €700 Fiat 1100 is clearly but one modest entry in this gentleman's many-volumed Encyclopaedia Shiteanicus.

Not sure why I like these so much. I think it might be their starring role in all those Majorette-type continental airport/police/roadworks sets. €750.

Suspect this might be a bit wobby close up, but €790 still can't be bad. Only 79k km as well - plus vinyl 'n' wind deflectors for added WIN.

Look at this! (Not too closely. What do you expect for €800?)

Just as I was getting to grips with the monstrous ugliness of these things, along comes THIS. Having said that, probably not bad for €800.

Try finding one of these which hasn't been totally bastardised. This is the most original one I could find. Shame, as these are quite zippy & totally removed from the awful 1.0 versions.

If my lottery numbers come up this week I will be smoking about in this.

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tatra-613-5-/2206 ... 336298cd41

 

!B87ydFw!2k~$(KGrHqIOKiQEy3Pw5UMiBM4YKrNIn!~~_3.JPG

I’m fairly sure this is the ex-Tim Bishop car. He went to Tatra in the early ‘90s to flog a fuel injection system and ended up getting the contract to develop the T613 from where it hadn’t really moved as a 1970s design with 1980s plastic bumpers stuck on. It gained a very clever sequential fuel injection system, boosting power of the quad cam V8 from 160bhp to 200bhp. They also programmed the ECU to de-clutch the cooling fan at full throttle and maximum revs which gave another 20bhp, briefly.

 

Power steering was (I think) the same ZF rack as the NSU Ro80 and the suspension got a lot of tweaks to improve the handling. When I had one, its level of grip was way above my level of fear. Aircon was fitted as standard, early ‘90s cars had the radiator in the engine bay but later ones had it behind the front bumper.

 

I was told that despite having orders, the factory couldn’t build the cars. This might allegedly be alleged to do with the Czech mafia of the time, allegedly. Cars were on the line being completed but when an order for wheels was placed, the lorry would arrive with suspension parts instead. This led to customer orders being cancelled and it all went off the boil.

 

Now, Tim Bishop is the technical director of Connaught cars, so tough looking Czech assembly workers from the communist era have prepared him well for dealing with Welsh valley girls
