Matthew Brennan · Post by **Matthew Brennan** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 8:57 am

In Cornwall.

Buyer must collect as soon as possible, Car in Perfect working order, no MOT or tax. 4x Very good Cooper VHP Tyres. All electrics work fine. Runs Great, very strong engine. Over Ã‚Â£3000 spent in last two years.

Was going to strip it to sell the leather seats etc but never had time, had no luck selling it so its either going for free to a forum member or it will be sent to a scrap yard (Gutted!)

I would still be driving it but i've got a company car now. Please PM me or reply to this post.

There is plently of info and piccys on the site of "sparky" just search for my posts.

Surely you could sell off the parts? For the interior and the leather wheel esp you could make a fair amount!

(P.s I call first dibbs on the momo wheel if you do decide to break her

)

Or make a deal with someone for half the money for them to do the breaking and you supplying the car to break. Would just be a shame to give away a car if you think it's going to be scrapped/broken anyway and then have the breaker make money on your present to him/her.

Yeah the seats and the wheel are worth a fair bit i should imagine, I just don't have the time to strip it. I live in Plymouth and the car is an hour away from me so i don't get much chance to see it.

Both seat heaters work BTW..... Winter soon......

The car has to go as a whole.... 98 Kellrs, you are welcome to have the momo leather wheel for free, on the proviso that it has a 480 still attached to it!

But I need a Momo!

I'm actually spilling out onto the road with cars now so it would be a no even if it were closer. Although my friends got an empty garage...

Its Near Baldhu, which is about 2 miles West from Truro.

Its not really that far when you think about it and its in a beautiful corner of the country, why not make a weekend trip of it?

I could meet you at Plymouth railway/bus station and drive down to the car from there.

As for cost of driving it back, the car will average 42.2 miles per gallon at 60!! So with a light right foot it would be cheap as chips!

MMMmmMMMmmmm Momo Leather Wheel, Jaquard Leather Seats, Full leather door cards and trim........ You know you want to!!

Sorry Roo, The Chav Alloys are long gone..... However i can throw in a spare set of rainbow pinstripe seats and doorcards, and a 2nd space saver spare wheel with immaculate tyre on it. And a box of spares..

Matt, i'd love to take it off your hands. If i was still employed, i'd have it-but unfortunately i'm not! I looked into a rail ticket to your town, and for one way it was just over Ã‚Â£100, then i'd have to get the petrol back too. I had to borrow the money for the meet last week, so there's no way i can do this! I do keep mentioning it to my Dad in the hope he'll go halves or something, but he's having none of it!

If you still have it when i eventually find a job, i'll come down there, and i'll give you a 3 pack of Smarties to boot!

I'm proper gutted that i can't

Just don't get rid of it yet!

I'd love this, and I'll be down your way on holiday in a couple of weeks. I just don't think I can take the risk of driving it back all the way with no tax or test.
