LOL, oh dear............. in Bucks, looks good, might be able to make a good car from that and my old one.........

However.....the parents won't like that at all. I'm getting grief as it is.

Might manage a craft look at sometime.

Cheers,
Pete

yeah, even looks the right colour Pete :) And with it being a B200e you'll know all about it so no puzzled expressions ;)

LOL, correct in both cases! Car breeding is amazing, trouble is they don't get any younger, all seem to be roughly the same age, with the risk of rust! :? Indeed, GLT with B200E, might have to see what the rust is like etc. I need some cheap land to rent to expand the collection and to keep the parents happy.

I bet it doesn't start because of the fuel pump relay :wink:

yep, either that or the fuel pump fuse has corroded. That's another favourite.

I'm trying to resist going for a look, but hey, a quick look can't hurt, last time I went for a 'look' I bought the car! It's an '88, but it all depends on the condition. I wondered about the fuel pump fuse box! Hmmmm........

Don't resist - you know these cars are good, reliable, fun etc.....

I'll pop a parts list later. I'll think of a good quote with reasons why we should buy them all. :D

I would get it myself but I already have three and two VW's and not a lot of land :wink:

Yeah, that's the reason I have 5 or 6 already! Space is the killer problem for me at the moment. No reply by email yet..........

Relisted...Cmon people this is a steal, for a probable simple problem...

I've been and seen this car briefly, pretty good bodywork as they go, usual bits at the tops of the rear doors, bottom corner of drivers door, but other wise good. It turns over, but I had to use my battery from my car, so I didn't over do it, as I didn't want to be stranded. It's cheap.

Maybe we should have a V3M UK Emergency 360, if anyone can store her.

The official Forum car that can be used if anyone needs a ride fast :)

Insurance is possible £25:00 for the car between us all?
