Apparently I need to get rid of one car before I can have another, so unfortunately the old girl drew the short straw

I've had it for just over two year, and it's been a delight to run around in, always getting looks and the usual "Don't see many of those around any more" comments.

Genuine 37,000 miles, 1 old gentleman had it before me that clocked up a mere 28,000, but still had it serviced regardless of the fact he'd only done several hundred miles since the last service!

Disappointingly little history with it, but the service book is there fully stamped and even stamped on the back page when he ran out of places to have it stamped

I had some running problems last winter, having put three or four new sets of plugs on as it seemed to cure it, new leads then followed until we put it on a gas analyser and it was worryingly lean on idle, mixture screw did nothing so I bought a refurb kit for the carb, unfortunately this didn't help so had to bite the bullet and bought a brand new 28-32 (IIRC) Weber carb. After getting it all set up she now runs like a pearl and has been faultless ever since.

I honestly don't think you'll find another in such a condition, it's not "mint" as most people seem to call their less than perfect cars, but it wouldn't need much work to become show condition. There's some minor rust that I've highlighted in the pictures, I had some paint mixed up in a rattle can that I can supply, I simply haven't got around to getting it done. It wouldn't take a weekend to get it sorted.

It's been serviced and maintained by myself in my ownership, and pampered every weekend to keep it tip top.













Have you ever seen such a rust-free battery tray?


Now the bad bits..
Glue from the door protectors

And the little amounts of rust..



Not sure how to price it as I haven't come across another 3 door for sale, especially with such low mileage.

I'll put it up for Ł1600, but I'm open to offers as I really don't know what to ask.
Not interested in a P.X as I'm not allowed anything else yet

Drop me a message on here or email me on: crowson15@hotmail.co.uk

Ben.

 

That is very nice

 

Thanks mate.
I know it's the wrong time of the year to sell but hopefully someones after a solid investment!

 

Thats lovely mate and i think fairly priced tbh glwts

 

How cool is this. I hope it goes to a good home.

 

Just hope someone buys her and keeps her as she is, I bet someone turbo's it!!!!

 

Cheers chaps.

In all fairness I had thought about it, but decided it was too original to mess around with!

I'm open to offers guys, need it gone really as I want a T5R

 

Will take PX with a nice manual 850R

 

Bumpety bump, make me an offer!

 

Car is now Sorned and MOT ran out early April, couple of tyres are slightly perished, but that's all it requires.
So it will obviously need trailering home
Ł1100 takes it as I need the monies for my next car!

 

Shocked this hasn't gone, someone wave a grand my way and take it.

 

800 cash tomorrow?

 

 

Haha, have a little think about it

 

Where you based mate?

 

Do you still have this?

 

Yes mate, flew through an MOT last week.

 

Ł900 takes it, or a P/X with a nice late spec 2.3 940 turbo manual.

 

Where are you?

 

Peterborough mate, still available if you're interested.

 

Pm me ur absolute rock bottom onit please

 

This is rock bottom, gone are the days when you can pick up a good condition 3 door for less.
