They'd be better off throwing in an extra SU fuel pump, thats the most likely thing to brake down.

I have fond memories of my frequent journeys to uni on the M62 over the Pennies in a Moggie with the passenger booting the firewall every now and then to get the pump going again.

£1300 with T&T what's wrong with it?! And its a 4 door. Although the tax is irrelevant because its free anyway.

Why hasn't it sold for 2 months at that price?!

cant go too far wrong can you, unless there is something nasty lurking underneath with rust.

Hmm, I am seriously tempted. **Emails father proposing 'joint venture'**

Can't need that much TLC by the look of it and the MOT surely? Though I did once come across one that had been run on unleaded straight with no conversion, so the engine was about to break.

Dont tempt me......
I never wanted to get rid of mine, but long story in a nutshell it was encouraging the attentions of a club member who was exceptionally creepy, after a string of emails and notes that were 'interesting' to say the least I decided it was better to get rid of the car so very sadly we parted. Still gutted now.

Always wanted one, either the van or the pick up.

Seems like there's one in every club, we have one who's a bit of a wierd Klingon. :rotfl:

There used to be a huge number of Morris Minors in Zimbabwe when I lived there in the late 80s. That and Datsun 120Ys. If you could get a shipment of either of those out you'd make a packet.

Next classic for me will either be a KPGC10 (if I can save up £30k) or a Celica TA22.:cool:

Oh dear, and here was me thinking such clubs were a friendly bunch...

Has the prettier split screen ness but with the newer engine - perfect! Don't like the rear lights though, they look a mess.

The club was friendly, problem was the club was mostly older members and I was about 29/30 at the time so the one other younger male member developed a bit of an unhealthy interest in me and he was exceptionally odd. I'm a bit crap at distinguishing friendship from anything else so I didn't notice so much at first The content of the email that finished it was such that it was passed on to a Police Officer friend and I never went back to the club again. It was actually incredibly scary at the time, to the extent that I didn't want to be in the car as it was so distinctive.

Looking back I should have probably had the guts to go to the chair and not walked away, but I was younger and greener then.

You do see the occasional bargain on car and classic, they have a gorgeous rolls royce - Pre WW1 on there for about 69k beautiful - and a tatty Jaguar Mk9 (also gorgeous) for just under 4k - very tatty though.
If I only had the cash and a garage
