Surprised it hasn't got leathers.
What do you rekon it will fetch?
-
hard to say with eBay its already high with 5 days to go.....
Leather was only standard on the 3.2.... however i prefer cloth....
-
That really is a stunner! Not that keen on the colour.
It's getting toward make your mind up time on omegas now. I'm not sure if I want an 02/03, but then again........there wont be many decent ones left soon :-/
-
I saw that too and just thought 'yes please!'
Out of my league at the min tho [smiley=sad.gif]

If only it had a proper gearbox :'(
-
OK 18 months newer than mine, two trim levels higher, 20,000 miles more.
4500
so a year +500, trim +500, mileage -200
5000 to 5250 best
4200 worst

Sorry, you had me worried there, had to take another look.
Yesssss, it has got a proper gearbox, thought I hadn't misread it first time. ;)

my car has a propper gearbox so when funds allow I could drop in something bigger ;)

Yours may have a proper g/b, but has got crap grip at the rear ;)
At least the brakes should be a little better tomorrow....

No Tunnie....mine and AA's has a proper gearbox ;D plus all the other Auto owners out there [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Seriously i dont think it will go that high TBH......that type of car....that age....i think most will shy away from a motor that done over 100k....wrongly in my opinion.....but most think like that

Has Tunnie's 2.2 got an engine? Every time he puts his foot down, if makes a lot of noise, nothing else happens ;D

Thought it was going like the wind since he done the breathers. ::)
I wouldn't touch this car anyway, all the bolt covers are in place on the plenum, that surely can't be right?

He says a drastic improvement. I've heard it can now keep up with a Raleigh Chopper....

Second gear never ever worked on my Chopper, bloody Sturmey Archer!
And wasn't that gear knob in a very dodgy place on the early Choppers? I had many a close call. :-?

The SA 3 speed was easy to set up (when you knew how) and reliable. IIRC, is was put in 2nd gear, then adjust so shoulder of adjuster lined up (used to work in a toy and cycle shop - best job I ever had :))
Squashed many a bollock on that lever though [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

I went from a tomahawk to a grifter so i never had that pleasure :o
-
Beautiful... In spite of the lack of leather... I am almost tempted to upgrade my 2001 CDX... Only problem is that mine has less than half the mileage of the Elite... and it has leather... hmm....
-
The Q & A seems to imply he won't take less that 4k for it...

Well, i'm gonna tell you, and Jim can back me up if you don't believe me....
I had a Chopper with Grifter handlebars. I think that's why my back gives me so much bother now.
You could pull some great wheelies with it though. ;)

Thats coz he doesnt have an autobox! .....Had my 2.2 on cruise today on the A303....its up and downhill a lot...downhill it was showing mostly 999.9mpg......excellent :) uphill mostly 10-12mpg in 3rd gear doing between 4-5k revs :o ......i just thought hey.....its 40ppl for lpg.....im not worried about it :D

If its just me in it, it's quick enough. Add passengers and it soon slows down :(
But on the upside, comming back from my Uni room the other night, filled up @ 86.9 :)
Got to my junction on the M40, about 67 miles after filling up........ cruise was set @ 80 all the way, flipped to 'Range' and it said 527 miles! :D
Since i regually get 450 miles from a tank, its slower to 60 but won't me making as many stops ;)

just did a quick google on 0-60's interesting reading:
2.2 Manual - 0-60: 9.5 Seconds
2.5 Auto - 0-60: 9.2 Seconds
3.0 MV6 Auto 0-60: 8.7 Seconds
Use those 0.8 seconds wisely Jaime ;) ;D
Propper gearbox makes it all worth while ;)

I reckon you may be ahead up to around 30mph, after that you won't see me until the next petrol station :-[

May as well - whats a Mars bar (40p ish) when paying for £65 of go-go juice. And you need feeding up ;)

thats what i keep telling my mum, but cause the parents eat healthy means i have too!
Mind you at my work placement we did go out for pub meals or a curry every week, i put on weight there to a stagering 10.6 stone. Its fallen off again now down to about 10 ish...
But according to my dad i am a lardass, he was 9 stone when he left uni!!!
-
yeah, but your about 10ft tall, and iirc, he ain't ;)

Well I reckon the times for the 3.0 are pessamistic, and I have noticed my 2.6 is quicker to 30 than a 3.0 but a little slower to 60 so 0-60 is similar but over 70 the 3.0 was quite a bit quicker. That said I never managed to flat out any of my last 4 cars.

Ahh yes, but a proper gearbox AND a proper engine!!! now we're talking
