Anyone selling anything reasonably interesting?

hello all

I was interested in Carl's rangie, but looks like I'd need to tow it down,
so it's a no-goer I'm afraid.

Looking for something "interesting" up to about £750 . Long as it's got MOT
and goes fuel economy not a problem..

cheers

I may be able to supply movement for it...

Will keep an eye out.

Dammit, just sold the Saab. Apparently he got 130 out of it from a
standing
start in under a mile. That included slowing down for the corner at the
end

I sold mine for bargain £550. 16V turbo with upped boost and big injectors.
Saw a true 141 from the Sat Nav
(on a private road of course)

Cheers Pete. How much is it likely to cost to High Wycombe though? My other
option is to take my mate who's a bus systems spark
with me. He might be able to fix it in minutes, or at least tell me what it
needs. Carl got an ignition module but it still wouldn't start. From his
email - "One thing I did find however is, that vac capsule isn't connected
inside the dizzie. I had to unbolt it to rotate the dizzie enough to get the
module off and on, and it wasn't hooked to the pin inside the dizzy"

It's got T&T, and now some strange ignition fault which stops it starting

:-( Shouldn't be expensive to fix on a Rangie though.

Do you know what he's got yet?

There's a stack of decent Capris on Ebay at the moment.

From quite a few posts I gather your deep into the capri. Just out of
interest what draws you to them ?

I don't know why Conor likes them, but I like them because they are great
fun in a sideways way, and they are mechanically simple :-)
