This is kind hypothetical. I've been offered Markey Marks estate & am tempted but i'd have to dive into my savings a/c to buy it as using my current a/c would put me into an agreed o/draft & incurr charges. If i could sell the Beastie fairly quickly then i could go ahead.
Many of you know the car which i bought from Hotel21. She's a black 98 3.0 manual saloon with full recaro leather & upgraded Bose from an Elite. 4 new tyres (budget) but newall the same & one new Goodyear Eagle F1. She will come with the famous MV6 rims that are not buckled & a spare set in silver. The Beastie has covered 115,000 miles although the engine is from a 3.0 auto Elite 107,000 that had a fully stamped book. The full cambelt kit & water pump were done a few months & 2,000 miles ago along with plugs & leads. She also comes with the Irmy steering wheel which is half leather half carbon fibre effect with mouldings at 9 & 3 o'clock (VERY RARE)
She must owe me the between 2 or 3 grand with what i've spent. Before i bought her Broocie (Hotel 21) fitted new wishbones, discs & pads & a gentle (not over the top) red spring Irmy lowering kit to the rear, she really hangs on in the twisties. She is fitted with a full s/s exhaust which is decatted & LOUD so you would have replace the system or have a friendly MOT man regarding emissions. MOT til Feb tax till July. A good buy at £1000 or £1100 with the private plate L9 MUF!!! If no interest i'll let Marks go & keep here.
I won't take a penny less so don't ask. P.M me for phone no. if you wish, Guy.

It's worth every penny :y :y :y

It's one hell of a dilemma Paul. I would'nt consider selling her otherwise, she really is as good as she looks! :y

Tough call Guy. Your beast really is such a good example, don’t know how you can let it go!
Can’t you sell the old Ford and have the beasties bigger brother? ;D ;D ;)

Would be an ideal solution... But he'll never live without the old Fords ;) ;)

No chance Ian. As well as a Mig i need a classic car. No point in having two Migs. I love the Consul, she's being sprayed soon (4 new doors) & then ready for next years shows. I'm as equally involved in the classic car/steam rally scene as i am Migs so no chance of selling her.
She's a joy to drive, seats 6 legally with front bench seat. 3 speed column change with handbrake beneath the dash, no seatbelts ever fitted (pre 1965 & she's a Jan 1961 so 49 years old in the new year) Not selling!
Still up for a spring Yorkmeet, caravan is due some use!!!! :y

Must be better than the '59 Lowline Zephyr I had, which appeared to be built out of bean cans, whereas the previous motor, a '54 Consul, was built like an Omega! Machined out of a solid lump. 8-) 8-) 8-)

This one's ok underneath, seen a welder more than once but new MOT & all solid...for now! Runs fine but body work & paint need doing properly this time so i'll be spending most of chrimbo in bed.....sorry in the workshop trying to make the doors fit!!!! :y

Kind of glad there were no offers. Even if there had been i'd still be considering before doing the deal, just wanted to see how the land lied..(laid?) I loved the Beastie since the first Lakemeet, never thought i'd see her for sale so when i did bit Broocies hand off. Since then i've lavished much time & money making her my own so to speak. I still enjoy every journey in her (even going to work!) I can't park her at the shops & walk across the car park without looking back. Sad i know but that's why i could'nt part with her. She's a bit like me really. She can snarl & sit & is full of attitude but is lovely really!!! Despite my impulsive reaction to MM's coming up for sale i know deep down i can't let her go.
However if any of you are interested in a very rare 3.0 manual MV6 estate with bose full recaro leather, HUGE doody wheels, irmy bodykit, headlights alone are £250 & she's been pampered the same as the Beastie. If i did'nt already have the Beastie i'd honestly snap it up.
If you fancy something a bit special phone MM if you have his no. If not pm me for details or offers. Despite recent unrest with MM this in no way affects the car itself. Veiwings are welcome if you want to see for youself.
While we're at it festives to all of you & yours. Guy. :y

If I won the lottery MM's car would be my first purchase but I will have to stick with my £350 banger for a while longer.

I keep thinking about it... But.. no... my parents would kill me if i bought another car :-X
I think 2x Omegas, 1x Caravan, 0.75x Vectra Gsi and a Trailer is enough! ;D
... Then again..... :-/ ;)

I get enough grief for having one working omega and one for spares on the drive a motorbike and a caravan.

I would love it Guy... but I wouldn't beable to sell mine! Why do you think I've still got the diesel one! Dont want to get rid (even if its just sat there! ;D)

The time of year is somewhat unfortunate regarding car sales hence the Beastie stays in house & on here where she belongs.
Spoke to MM lastnight & he's going to keep his for a while & maybe sell in the spring when folks finances have recovered. Some lucky so & so is going to be very happy! :y

There's pics of the Beastie all over the meets section York more recently & the OOF calender entries. :y I don't have any pics of MM's estate but that's a good idea. Be warned you'll be reaching into your pockets & peeing your wives/parents(Ian) off!!!!

Is the car still for sale?
