Got a phone call right out the blue last weekend regarding a mk1 saloon that had been in a garage since the death of the guys dad although he kept it motd etc and was tax free so didn't cost anything there. He said he was just going to scrap it as he had no intrest in it and was taking up room and did i want to go and have a look. So i went up last night and found this, eneded up getting it for the price of a good night out. So i will use that this year whilst the general gets another revamp.

Nice looking car Ray you jammy sod. Reckon you ought to point a few our way

Well done it looks to have been well looked after,is it as good under the skin as it looks on top.

Lovely looking car you lucky sod. :mrgreen:

Health to enjoy.

£200 for a tax free one?!? I am so jealous, especially as mine is also a teal blue and a 1.8....

If you want to swap let me know, remember I am a poor student that is struggling to find the money to tax a car [/sob story]

Very nice Ray, just spent twice that for the non tax free one I'm getting tomorrow :roll:

Jammy sod!!!




Health to drive Ray!

well i collected it today and she runs great, had a leaky water pump which the chieftan quickly changed and i need to fit the n/s with some new tie bar bushes other than that mechanically spot on.Never drove an automatic marina before and was pleasently surprised with how smooth and quiet the car ran, and it gets of the mark no probs. It will need a new interior as the limeflower has sun fade all over it but the carpets are good which is a bonus. The usual scabby marks on the wing tips and rear arches but nothing a quick hit with paint wouldn't fix. I don't know if i will keep it after the general as it was bought as a stop gap instead of going to the crusher so will wait and see at the end of show season.

Keep it for towing the caravan to the shows. Its tax exempt and wont cost you any extra.........plus it will be handy when the Calibra breaks down

Keep me in mind when sh'e being sold Ray - would quite like an auto!
