Investment and return Tunnie...  :)

Only look at buying that for parts as you have no idea about so many things.
Bargain well enough and that will be had for £250 easily at which point there should be good profit.

I have just finshed Uni, and next week going to the Lake District, got to work on the Senator, following week, £0.02 trip to Milan, then following week i show my project at Made in Brunel, then I move out of my Uni house....

I think i can fit in a ex plod project   :D

Seriously though how am i going to get it started? Can tech2 start a car? Or do a James and rip off the steering column and jump it (immobilizer issues?)

High Wycombe is on my way home too  ::)


needs a tow or back of a trailer......if its close you could trailer it for less than £50

Google Maps says 43.8 miles....

Mark who brought your LPG project back a Notts company?

AR35's will always be sort after.... also I think James put in a AR25 in his 3.0 Elite? He should be needing on soon  ;)

Could be worth a breaker this one, as DTM mentioned LSD... heads, cams, although no toys like cruise, dash ect... got HIDS though.

Probably worth more to get running as lpg, but don't like the look of the passenger side front wing on closer inspection of the pictures... looks like its had a nock there.

description on advert advises cruise control.......however looking at pics i cant see it....maybe a bargaining poit with seller.

Why dont you phone and ask all about the lpg and cruise and how its exactly what you want and be all dissapointed when it aint got them see how much you can get off it  :-/

You don't need to fix a car to make money from it.....

Pay the right amount and there is profit in that.

I agree, no money in this to make it a runner, all money in breaking - if his parents don't mind the driveway being a scrapyard for a week or 2...

go on Tunnie !!

Get £50 off it for an inaccurate addy, £50 do get it to you and you have a T plate 3litre to break.

If you have some storage places take everything off it nd get rid of the shell ( ive just sold a rear passenger window for a Rover this morning for £25) so thnk beyond the engine and trim  :y

not sure what Mother & Father tunnie would have to say about storage.... not got the space really, got 4 cars as it is! and if the other garage is taken up with bits, it makes the driveway very full with 3 huge barges on it...

I did ring the seller, no reply. Tempted to call by on my way home, point out, no cruise, no lpg... try and get him ultra cheap.
