barrett Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Is that the first-generation Minicar? The one with a 125cc engine and no rear suspension? I find it hard to imagine a more miserable "driving" experience.LALZZ That's the 3rd generation one, the MK C. Comparative luxury compared to the MK A, it even has suspension!

TagoraSX Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I really, really, really WANT this. A tad pricey but gorgeous. Anyone know an old skool mechanic in the area who would inspect it? http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/cla ... rno/102628 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogweasel Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Epic ebay listing fuckwittery:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/bus-corgy-/120598077937So, 'vehicles' insertion fee cost (£8.00). Plus the associated FVF. Unrotated bad photo with loads of background crap. No descriptive words in the title. And mis-spelling of the items brand name. WINNAR.

meggersdog Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Reading that BX listing.Suspension won't go into high mode and ticks when driving.Unidentified by specialist garage. Sounds like the front accumilator sphere is borked to me.But I'm no Citroen specialist,then again neither is that garage by the sound of it.

Either that or the pump is on its way out. I love BXs though. Mine has hardly leaked very much at all really. Only had to cure two leaks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I do not have to stay in premier inn or hit-and-miss B&B's any more. (There be one or more flaws to this genius idea)That is actually fucking ace. Despite the fact they're horrible things to drive it's nice to see such an old one and it does have a certain masochistic appeal to it. If you did buy it you'd need to be careful getting out of it in the dark as it is a long way down from a recovery truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
