Help! A one owner Daihatsu Charmant LGX needs saving!


Recommended Posts

My Grandad bought one of those and my parents had a Charade at the same time in the mid eighties. I remember it despite being about 5 at the time! I've chucked in a cheeky bid :wink:

I'm sure it'd be a lot better with that plush buttoned velour chucked in a skip and the cheapest racing seats from Demon Tweeks added insted. SOMEBODY SAVE IT!!!

GR8 4 BEIN HIRST!

 

I've stuck that on my ebay watch list... need shite in my life since the Cavalier is suffering from teh tinwurmz.

Posted

If it doesn't go daft expensive I might be tempted to have a pop at that.

Betcha £10 this ends up in the South London Museum for the Preservation of KIT and Shite......

 

step up the curator!

Posted

that is fuggin gorgeous BTW - were I not getting 2 new motahs this week it would be coming north!

 

looking at that velour .....

 

wow

 

and the dash has that 80's orange shite graphics that you got on period ghettoblasters...enough to give me a semi!

It's now up to £205. How many people on here are bidding on it?

Posted

We need a HIRST buyers guide with an acceptable price to pay for this lovely machine.

Charmants drive a lot better than you'd expect, drive a lot like an old Ford (in a good way). That's a facelift model (different bumpers, integrated mirrors, revised gauge cluster). Manual 1.6s seem quite rare now, being a 1.6 it has a steering box rather than rack-and-pinion like my 1.3. The LGX spec is the best, but actually seems less rare than the others.

 

I expect it'll go for about £600-1000, it really depends on who sees it.

It's a Toyota 4A engine, I like how they went to the effort of having a Daihatsu-badged oil filler cap though.

No worries, when I win the auction, it wil never be a drifter....

 

This is my other Charmant, also from '85:

Hey another Charmant owner! Crikey, is that the elusive half-vinyl seated "LC" spec?

Posted

The Charmants are coming out of the wood work now!, That one i saw in Clacton wasn't there the other week when i drove past so i guess it's gone now.

What did the Cav fail the test on?

Yes, it is a 1300LC!

 

I found this forum by googling the ebay advert... nice forum, thanks for all replies! :)

So Davidklop, have you any other great motors we should be aware of? And more photos of the Daihatsu are required 8)

Posted

damn it if only i had cash!!

 

There basicly a KE70 corolla!!

Posted

Finished at £730. More than I expected to be honest.

Posted

Unfortunately I didn't win the auction... I didn't expect 730 too...

 

:(
