The 'Geoff Buys Cars' 480 has been saved!

Post by WillC9303 » Tue Jan 31, 2023 6:03 pm

Evening all,

As some of you will know, in May 2021, a YouTuber going by the name of 'Geoff Buys Cars' bought a 1992 ES Limited Edition which he named 'Khujo'. The car was subsequently won for £10 in a raffle, but unfortunately the water pump seized when the winner was driving home. The last I heard of the car it was being kept at a scrap yard and was going to be stripped for parts. Apparently a farmer ended up purchasing the car and it sat in a field ever since. The car has now been purchased from the farmer by a young lad with the intention to save it.

Really good to have you onboard. Was fuming when I discovered the tale of what happened to khujo, especially as it was preventable - hence the offer of a dash overhaul!
