warren t claim Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Did you ever take the opportunity to photograph it outside the restaurant off Woodchurch Road that was also called Fuego?
ashmicro Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Nice as it is, a bit too dear for the marketplace old chap. Good luck, though, it looks a cracker.
Station Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Cor, that's so close to me, but unfortunately £3250 more than I have! Would be nice to see it driving round now and then!
Wal Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 I know it may be "pricey" but once the bodywork is sorted this will be a near mint example of a rare motor, I'm not gonna go down the route of being mentioned on Top Gear but this is a cracking car, a real fun drive. Proper 80's turbo lag
RENOMAD Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Now a Fuego comes up for sale,,,when I made a decision to downsize---typical
Wal Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 Now a Fuego comes up for sale,,,when I made a decision to downsize---typical typical, tis a goodun fella
RENOMAD Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Much as I'd love it, I'm afraid I just dont have that kind of money at the moment----see "Change of Hobby" thread.
Wal Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 Much as I'd love it, I'm afraid I just dont have that kind of money at the moment----see "Change of Hobby" thread. Ah, I see
MK5 Escort Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 I'm sorry to hear that it's having to go, Wal. From the pictures it really is a lovely example and I do hope you get strong money for what genuinely has become a very rare car these days. Even rarer in the condition that it's in. I can't get over how lovely the interior is. £3250 sounds a bit rich though for us ‘autoshiteists’ though! I really do hope you get decent money for it though. Annoying as I’m one of the closer sh**ters to it also, being on the Cheshire/South Wirral boarder…! Typical!
blackbird Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Is this one othe ramaining ones Top Gear mentioned !?
Wal Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 Is this one othe ramaining ones Top Gear mentioned !? Yup
Wal Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 Up we go, have now secured a deal on my old car, quick sale needed
Wal Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 How do folks, Now have a buy it now on ebay of £1995.00 with the spare parts
Wal Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 £1,200 price drop!? Yeah, on reflection I think £1995 is a fair price as it stands with the exhaust, decals etc. I have bought my 1st beetle back and need some funds
Wal Posted August 25, 2011 Author Posted August 25, 2011 Need the space, so I am now looking for £1750
HillmanImp Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Fuck me. Thats a bargain. Are you drunk? If i had loads more money and no sense and had not just bought Lankytims Audi I would have that. Its a fucking great car.
kinkersaab Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Need the space, so I am now looking for £1750 Hmmm, where are you based?
tonedepear Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Need the space, so I am now looking for £1750 Hmmm, where are you based? Liverpool I think Lee.

Wal Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Can I borrow it to recreate my most famous avatar? If I still have it
