Anyone know the whereabouts of my old Cossie I bought from JCT 28 in 2000, I paid £19,999 and it has around 35k on the mileage, I bought the N888 COS Number plate from DVLA for £250 and I still have the original 'N' reg plates in my Garage. Would be great if anyone has some info.

Also I used to own M601 BLM Ash Black Cossie with some unusual history!!!

Hello mate. not sure about n888 cos but i used to own M601 blm, Unusual history it was about 7 years ago??

3drRich

Just read your whereabouts and redhill/surrey is were im pretty sure i bought it from. By gatwick if i remeber rightly!

Hi ya, There was 2 of you and I sold it for £7,000, I paid £15,000 and took the bloke to court for mis-selling...and won, the rear pillers has been welded together and covered in brown sealant, it had a complicated alarm with a top quality ICE. The MOT was dodgy and the judge/VOSA gave the garage a black mark, basically it was given an MOT without it visting the garage, I swore then never to buy a car without seeing it.

Hello mate yes it was me that bought it from you. Hows things?

She needed alot of tlc We stripped it and spent a month sorting it out. It had a red roof on it as at some point it had been rolled and the roof was chunked through the screen pillers, it had a white tailgate, and a aralius blue bonnet and wing!

it turned out well in the end but was abit of a mission! LOL

Bilmey, all spare parts then, so do you know what colour she was originally? I'm guessing Black with the other coloured parts attached after she has been rolled.
I'm good thanks, missing my cossies I used to have.

3drRich

Yeah it was always ash black (well most of it ) LOL. It had some serious accident but considering the amount of different colour panels it wasnt actually a bad repair regarding gaps etc. They never primed and painted the inside of the welds properly and thats what started to rust on the pillers etc.

3drRich

We all miss the cossies eventually. Hence why I have ended up with another one lol.
Check out me resto thread!

These were taken the last time N888COS was out, will be getting the front wings painted over the winter and a few little jobs done to keep on top of it. Change the wheels again, Anthracite Rondells will be on it next year or Silver Wolf Alloys, see what looks best but thinking the Rondells at the moment.

looking good mate! i should of kept that big £££ now :P

I know, said to the girlfriend back in 2008 that if i dont get one before we get married then there would be no chance later, as be no spare funds then and i could see that they were slowly starting to go up in price, looked at loads of so called mint ones back then before going for this one. And in the best colour i think...

Rsboy2276

defo mate, best colour by far, when it was forsake in j28 had rondells and i had the morrettes put on, back then they were the in think ha. wish id of kept one of the cossies id had, good investment now mate
