ProgRocker Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 That looks fantabulous! Shite-tastic indeed.
boobydoo Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Velly nice. I can't think there can have been that many new cars to buy on an 'X' reg that still had chrome bumpers apart from East European stuff and maybe a Maxi and a Chevette?

I can't think there can have been that many new cars to buy on an 'X' reg that still had chrome bumpers apart from East European stuff and maybe a Maxi and a Chevette? That's an enquiry worth of the stupid question amnesty thread!

Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Vauxhall chevettes, rwd cavaliers and carltons
dollywobbler Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Citroen Dyane (well, technically they have stainless steel ones...).
Shep Shepherd Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I adore Wedges of any type, spec and colour
Cavcraft Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 What's the official colour name? I want more pics - interior too! Something in the back of my (tiny) mind says it's Reynard Metallic, but my memory is crap so don't bank on that being the right name for the colour.
Vin Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I like it. Nice colour too. My Dad bought my Mum a 2200 version of the wedge. I don't remember much about it other than it lasted about 3 weeks. Apparently my Mum couldn't handle the POWA & the light PAS, so Dad traded it in for a Renner 20. Mum liked that.
Rod/b Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 Top drawer! Make sure the displacers are alright before you buy though, thats well low. Check my mate Pete's website, www.hydragas.co.uk to see if there's anyone round your way that can pump it up. And if there's one you know that isn't listed, add it to the register!
Torsten2001 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 That wedge looks like pure magic, what's its story?
eddyramrod Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Two beautiful cars there, I still have a soft spot for the old Princess
Lankytim Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 And I am going to buy this. Denim blue with a black vinyl roof, just like my Allegro! I have a hydragas pump, if anyone wants to be blown up?
stoterstangen90 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Denim blue with a black vinyl roof, just like my Allegro! I have a hydragas pump, if anyone wants to be blown up?A bit to far for me to travel......
j-j Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 God! this is great. These are quality and if you have the individual front seat arm rests they're just bonkers/ brilliantness. There was a youngish bloke near me that bought one off ebay a few years ago, think it was an 'HLS' or something and had all the armrests you could use! I think it might have had a hydraulic clutch so maybe watch out for leakez. Anyway, the dark red Princess near here has vanished after 2 years Re. metal bumpers: the CX has S/Steel bumpers right up till 1985 (B/Creg.) Didn't Jag XJs have metal bumpers up past 1990-ish? Anyway, great find and all the best getting it sorted!
Rod/b Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Going to move this one on. As mentioned earlier i'm out of the country and i've realised that getting this sorted from here in Qatar isn't going to be easy... So who's up for it? It'll need trailering away as it's got no tax or MOT, will need a new battery as the one in it knackered. Might be a bit of grot round the back of the rear arches, carb needs setting, NOS plug leads in the boot, i'd have replaced the points with electronic myself too. Clutch is high as previously mentioned. Probably needs a couple of tyres. Any offers, Shiteheads?
Torsten2001 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 please let me know how much and where you are!
Rod/b Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 Torsten, are you only buying this to celebrate your current forum rank of BL WEDGE?
Torsten2001 Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Gosh! I thought I was still at Austin Maxi level! What a lovely coincidence!
Rod/b Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Yo Torsten, what's the latest on the bronze beauty? Has it settled in and made itself at home?
Torsten2001 Posted May 22, 2011 Posted May 22, 2011 I've left the beautiful Princess and the gorgeous SD1 in the capable hands of Mr Andrew353w!
Rod/b Posted May 22, 2011 Author Posted May 22, 2011 Oh right, I thought it had been dragged off already, when our SCAB was delivered. A THOUSAND APOLOGIES. I might go and delete all my posts now.
