FOR SALE - Pud the Celebration
Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2022 6:39 pm
As mentioned elsewhere recently, I am sadly putting Pud up for sale. For various reasons she needs to move on.
She is a Celebration in Storm Grey Metallic, number 331/480. Mileage is just over 43,000 and (as far as I can work out, given the existing MOT history and 10 years hiding in a barn) is genuine.
As many of you will know, Pud was originally Rescue Car R2, and was re-homed by me towards the end of 2019. She has had a lot of work done to her and general tlc lavished upon her here at the Pamper Parlour - full details can be seen in her threads here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=36210
and here:viewtopic.php?f=19&t=36282
There is little to add to what those two threads contain; key information from a buyer's point of view is that Pud has been almost fully sorted out bar her back bumper (which can certainly be lived with as-is, but if you're seeking perfection then it needs sorting). Crucially, she has rust-free original rear arches. She went straight through her last MOT with no problems and so has a clean MOT valid until 1st November 2022. It goes without saying that she drives and runs very nicely; following her slumbers the use I have made of her over the last year or so has fully woken everything up again.
In terms of extras I have added, the mud-flaps, Volvo mats, auxiliary gauges and (assuming a buyer wants it) boot mounted cd changer are all staying with the car. I am keeping the fire extinguisher and the cup-holder arm-rest; the next project will probably want them!
I will get better photos when better weather here allows (including interior shots); meanwhile the last ones I took around the outside follow this post.
I have thought long and hard about the price: there are a lot of dreamers out there selling cars, but even so values do appear to be increasing. Given that Pud is in very good shape, and looking at the others on the market and trying to compare I am looking for £3,000 for her.
In due course I will put her on Car & Classic and perhaps elsewhere, but I want to find her a good home so here is the best place to advertise her to begin with...
Any questions please ask!
