Optimistic or what?
« on: 25 February 2012, 13:04:25 »


Hasn't even had a nibble at £2900 so he relists it at £2950!!!! Is this an example of 'Reverse Psychology'? ??? ;D

If I had the spare cash at the moment I'd make an offer on it... Wouldn't be full asking but would be higher than most are willing to pay, as long as it has got Irmy suspension as well ;)

He would make his money breaking it though ;)

I know a towbar cannot be fitted
Got this from GM 
I was considering the same Irmscher rear end for my MV6

Having had a good look and poke about I reckon you could still fit a twin exit exhaust with the towbar, although the exhaust would have to be custom made and well heat shielded ;) If I ever manage to get my life in order I might have a go ;D

Like that a lot apart from that blue interior! It just doesn't fit with the car, although it does look like it's a decent job on it.

Not so Paul
The fuel tank location also comes into it
Some where I have the install plans
Think they came from Irmscher
I went through all the possibles
Worked for one of the top bodyshops at the time
And Richard the owner is a close friend
It's how I come to have a Alco Kober Tow bar
At acost of nearly 500 notes
If anyone buys it be assured
You'll never tow a caravan on it and be legal
I just utterly loved that back end

I know what you mean, but there is enough space for a custom exhaust to get through, but not using the standard route that the Irmscher one takes ;)

Unfortunately the tow bar bracketry blocks the direct route and the exhaust would have to be custom built (using oval tube for the route across the back) but I'm still sure it could be done. Hopefully I'll be able to prove it one way or another in the future as I too love the look of the Irmscher rear end :y
