I'm thinking of buying this as a summer runaround. Just thought I would see what you guys think about it.

hmmmmmmmm

wheels and back light to go in the bin straight away

never liked cabriolets to be fair but i do see their appeal, plenty out there so buy with your head

 

Not my cup I'm afraid

 

Not my thing, but looks well looked after from the pics for the age

 

I quite like the gold wheels against that colour strangely enough.

Rear lights are gash though.

They're decent cars for cheap, top down motoring. If it goes cheap then yes it's a good buy.

 

Gst a Cossie kit on it, Cossie floor pan, Cossie 4x4 running gear, Rondells, oh and red/smoked rear cluster and Job jobbed.

Not a bargain then though

 

It comes with the old 1.8cvh engine and gearbox as well. It doesn't say wether it works or not but still might get a few quid for them. I've put my max in so hope it goes for less. The rear lights are a bit shit I would sell them to a Chavez on eBay lol

 

i like the seats...
does seem cheap! i cant believe how dated these look, my mum had one in the 90s and i thought it was sh*t hot...

 

way i read it was that its fitted with a 1.6cvh but comes with a spare 1.8 engine????

 

It aint a bargin until it ends, its an auction

 

In reckon you could get the same car for £500 in the classifieds, I personally wouldn't bid any more than that on it! Interior looks nice, the wheels, lights and painted brakes all look a bit tacky. Thing with ebay is that you bid to buy and normally for a high price! Where as if that was on Gumtree for say £700 you could knock it down.

 

I have put my max in if it goes for more oh we'll never mind. I've sent them a message asking for spec on it that. I personally like the gold wheels on it.

 

exactly, advertising it on a busy ford forum when he wants a bargain,isn't clever either

 

I know it's not clever but I think that most of the people who use this forum aren't really going to want it as there are a big more grown up than me lol

 

It's only really a bargain if we know what you've bid on it!!!
A £5-600 car to me,the spares are generally tat so not much value in them but as a summer motor can't fault it really,their pretty reliable little buses which drive ok,I've had a few in the past and fusebox issues aside not much to go wrong.

 

I do like a Cossie-kitted cab, but prefer them on standard wheel as I think they look cool as a model the Ford "could" have made. Think a decent CVH turbo would be enough to make a cool, but quick summer cruiser though.

I remember a Fast Ford cover car when the MK5 RS2000 was still a current model which was a cab made into an exact "RS2000 cab" with engine and everything as per a standard 2K, but in a cab.

 

The imitation walnut dash sets it right off, ties in all the choice mods perfectly IMO.
