Re: EBay Finds
Only 1 MOT showing on gov.uk
Wonder what the back story is? Not that I am going to ask, as I really dislike these.

Re: EBay Finds
The rear subframes on those can wear thru, I wonder if you can buy a replacement now? A friend had one, probably 15 years back and his needed a new one, so did 3 others at the main dealers when he went to order his. I think it cost him £850 for the part plus fitting? All down to a stupid design iirc that would have been sorted by adding a few more washers from what I could see.SiC wrote: ↑Tue Oct 12, 2021 9:38 pm How much of a liability do we reckon this will be?
Had a lot done but not done many miles for quite a while.

That Mi16 you linked to was seriously cheap, someone got a proper bargain there.

Re: EBay Finds
Probably bit too much of a liability right now. Instead bought another silver car that's much more of a shit box but potentially less liability.Scruffy Bodger wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 4:17 pmThe rear subframes on those can wear thru, I wonder if you can buy a replacement now?

No, I don't know why either. Kinda hoping someone will outbid me. I could cancel my bid but I like living dangerously... I think it was seeing this lump that caused the trigger finger to flick.
Actually doesn't look too bad under there either.

Fully british, rusty buckets and grim motoring - surely it's right up your street too?

Re: EBay Finds
No thanks, I had a 1.0L on an 'A' reg as my first car. Awful things to drive far as the throttle is somewhere under the radio.
