As above we are`nt using our scoob enough and have decided to let someone else enjoy it.
Thought we would put it on here first as a lot of you know the car and how pampered she is. ( Bubble in the winter LOL)

This is one of only 2 cars I have owned that I would happily sell to my best mate as there is nothing wrong with this car at all.

The number plate is going to be sold with the car this cost approx £800 and it alone makes the car stand out from the crowd.
As most know this is a very unmolested model in excellent order.
Price £7600 ovno.





If you or someone you know would like the full details please pm me.

PS - Hils does know I'm doing this!

Thanks Dazza, I'm fine

Trouble is we only tend to use her when we all go out & Ark HATES being a passenger, so I get very little chance to drive her - also 3 times this year is not enough to justify insurance, tax etc...

Oh & I will be able to put my oil burner in the garage over the winter too!

Sad day, but it's better to have loved & lost than never to have loved at all

Thats where it goes wrong, cos I won't go to Tescos / into town due to the inconsiderates that like to throw their doors open wide and dinge whatever is within ten feet!

Also no point in taking her to work as it's a single width lane with overgrown bushes & brambles & a dusty dirty yard!

Hence she is not getting the use I would like!

The roads leading to, and surrounding your works are perfect for a scoob.

Bring it along Sun and I'll give you a demo if you like

(Best make sure there is no one else on the road)

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Not another one must admit i think about selling up somtimes as it just sat on the drive for 3 weeks,but then i drive it and get a huge grin and i'm a real lucky bugger as alot of gf's say "it's me or the car" but k tells me hell will freeze over before i'm aloud to sell mine or she just knows i'll be like a bear with a sore head if i don't have a car to play with

But am still waiting for the mk1 rs focus's to drop in price a bit

I spent ages looking for a one owner well cared for scoob and then obsessively polished and nurtured it ever since.
And you want to thrash it down a narrow lane full of humungous pot holes and blind bends with brambles hanging out the hedgerows. Thanks for the offer Neil but it was`nt quite the offer I was looking for.
And as Milamber would say a driving lesson WOW never saw that one coming.

Good luck with the sale guys.

Nothing is forever & as one chapter closes another opens.

Ooh that was a bit Cantonaesque. Those pesky seagulls.

This is a great opportunity for someone to upgrade from a rusty old classic to a proper car

Cool

I was taken out in the Caterham below...I want one..oh and the car is nice as well It is tempting to sell up and get a dedicated track car but as Seb says it does bring a smile every time I go out in it

Thanks for all the kind words about the scoob everyone. Will read through the file of paperwork at the weekend and compile a proper detailed advert to go live next week.
As said I would sell this car to any good friend because I know it is 100%,

Trouble is I hav`nt got any good friends. ....................................Thought I`d say it before one of you lot did.

Ark, scoobs are rally inspired cars, thrashing them down country lanes is what they were made for.
Well in my opinion of course.
But then I think that's what all cars are for

I kind of agree with your thinking just rather thrash somone else`s than my own or Hils in this case.

Note to oneself; " Never buy a car off Neil. "
