Guest Leonard Hatred Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Plenty of those GM 5.7 V8 diesels are still in use and do return about 30US/36UK MPG in good fettle.As far as I can work out, the early ones were unreliable but later ones are sorted and reliable if looked after and serviced properly (many weren't due to the almost universal misunderstanding of diesels in the US). It's about the most offensive vehicle imaginable, I'd love it.

dollywobbler Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Do Amis really fetch so much money, or is the seller being a bit optimistic? Um, yes. They do. Reckon it'll do £2500-3000 but could go more. Nice ones don't come up for sale very often yet values still stay lower than an equivalent 2CV (which'd probably be £5k on Ebay). James May paid an entirely reasonable £1500 for his Ami 8 estate, and that was a touch shabby in places. That one's a real beauty. Shame about the cruddy number plates though. If you're going to go all illegal, go for French font or how about some nice, legal white/yellows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why they're attractive to some people, but then I can see why Solaras are attractive, too... Had never realised that the Ami had reached "proper classic" status.

And anyone else who's got a Zetec Haynes manual:and as it is the silver top Zetec engine has steel timing gear so no need to replace beltsErm... Still, it's a cheap estate.

Spottedlaurel Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 With its Suffolk registration I’d love to know where that Yugo was first sold. Could even have been Willows Garage, the place that ChinaTom’s uncle ran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1950-MORRIS-MINOR ... 3366ea8687 I'm not sure if there is a mistake here but this is listed as only being up for £1995! Nice looking car but not original enough I suspect to make big money. Seller mentions it having different (to the front) rear wings but unless the rears are substantially different I'd be curious as to why the rear axle doesn't seem to sit right. To be fair though for the money it doesn't look a bad old bus but a real shame about the original bumpers not being present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Cavette's right on the money, the 1275 engine and mis-matched interior will put off the lowlight purists. Still looks GR8 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yeah, I'd love that Minor. Low light charm with a good bit of go. I don't think the bumpers are necessarily "wrong" as I think it was only very early production that had the extra bit in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmicro Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Not sure on the Old Knacker low lamp. There's a black one round here that appears now and again with an A35, and the arse end looks a bit like the maroon one. Must get a pic next time of both of them, as the two old boys who own them are decent sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Im a big fan of those lowlight MM's, there was a black one on RR which looked HOT. I still think it would make a great daily for the money, especially with its peppy engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
