Gary, you do realise that if you come over in it I won't let you park it on my drive don't you

 

white cars are just so hard to keep clean .......... Might just leave the mould on it instead

 

Like I would try for 500 continuous miles in it .......

 

Good point

 

Im actually excited about getting it

Gonna get out all those products I was told not to use on the Subaru and give it a wash Might even clean the inside but I doubt it.

Is it a collectors item now rover are no more?

 

Yes Gary, stick it on blocks in your garage and in ten years time you'll be able to retire on the profits

 

Would it be advisable to remove the CD player and put the original wind up radio back in?

 

you could probably sell the cd player for more than the car is worth!
martin

 

Does it come with a spare head gasket set?

 

I wouldnt know where to look for its Heag but if I find it I will put a new gasket on it

Good thinking about the CD player Martin. I wonder if its better than the one in the scoob though

 

The beast has landed



It even has a power bulge ...........

right now to go scooby baiting

 

Needs lowering

 

and a dump valve, induction kit.....

 

Oh dear...don't even try doing anything in the twisties. I had a concerto shape 216gsi with the honda engine. Not bad in a straight line. But I was severly embarrased when it went round the bends like blancmange, and the brakes were hopeless....Worst £250 I ever spent

I bet the cylinder head gasket leaks oil

 

Wouldnt know it hasnt got any in it

 

 

Your jealous now Karl aint ya? ....... I can tell

 

Quick update........

Just tried doing more then 5 miles in her, well 6 to be exact I included a high speed run where I took her up to an indicated 80mph which in real money means about 36

Passenger window has strange trait and leaves a gap when it closes. Guess I will have to check it out and if I cant sort it get the mastic out and seal it shut

Tomorrow sees its first wash and a closer inspection.


2 days and no breakages so far ........


Gary

 

Sailed through an MOT today, now got 12 months on it

 

That's added a pound to its value

 

Wanna buy it fatherpierre? ...... give it six months and I might consider selling it to you.

Gary...........

 

The cash from the Scooby being spent on the 205?
What is being done to 205?
Being nosey.

If its a solid tank, with FUN that you want, I would look for a Jaguar XJ6/XJS. You may get a decent old 4.2 powerhouse for that money

Steve

 

205 is being made ready for its next 10 months in Germany. Nothing drastic though, just an overhaul.


Gary

 

Had mine for sale recently but cannot part with it, now withdrawn from sale,cage and seats on the horizon??

 

Already got them mate

 

For my 205 I meant.
Like your new motor.(not!!!)
I had an old Xanthia for work run and moving stuff to and from dump when building a patio, paid £500 for it, moved tons of rubble ,covered nearly 20,000 miles in it to work and back, sold it for £500 a year later.
Nice for a car to earn its keep, feels like you have beat the system in a way.
Hope your bargain can do this.

 

Car has now been in my possession for 8 days. No faults no problems

Another 6 days and its payed for itself tick tick tick tick .........

Gary
