I can't believe this just closed down at 150 pound right before my eyes!!

It was going and going and going to finish and I just kept on getting depressed that i still don't know my way around here. My head kept on thinking...

[*]How would i bring it I would need a trailer but i have no idea how much it would cost, and my brother in law car parked in front even has a trailer hook. Back in my country i could get a borrowed one in 10 minutes just for a crate of beer, and some grilled meat.

[*]Where would I park it? I have no garage, a I would need to leave on the street... no insurance, no mot no road tax... how long would it take before it got toed?

[*]Would i get troubles for doing maintenance in front of the house? I could take some parts and service them at the back one a a time (like i did many times before), even if it meant leaving the car on stands over night or for a day or two, but here in UK i really don't know how that would end up.

I've dealed with so much worst before.... yeap, i had a triumph acclaim, two lancia y10 and some other very unreliable cars so this could be salvageable since i have no problems with metal work.. Arrrrrg for this price i could even get an auto box imported (since i really want an auto) and it would still be cheap like a budgie...

Rent a garage space from a local house. ask around or local advertising should have something. make sure you can work on a car in there, some people only allow storage. i am sure people on here or any other auto forum could point you in trailer directions. They might want warm beer for it though as it England!

Thank you DeanRX7 I will look into that for the future but for now I still can not. This stay of mine here is only temporary as I will be leaving england in a week and only when coming back in a month I will settle permanently, thats also why I had to let it go. Oh well.. lets just hope the owner of this one will try to revive it if in condition for that..

Was this car known in the forum, in the register, or its a new one?

[codge]

Not known before - unfortunately no registration available to see so I cannot properly identify it.

I have noted it as maybe going for spares......I may be wrong; if so I can move it into a better section of register.

[CondeAfonso]

registration seems to be xmr 954 from the picture of the rear corner, but that r might be a p and that m maibe a w... I cannot get a better look from the phone browser.

Tis a nice Fb,colour like marmite,love or loathe it.
Only 'flaws' i can see,single tailpipe at rear[should be double] & wheel caps a little shabby!
Ta Stu..

Single pipe 'cos it's a Janspeed system. Quite a late one too as it had a flange off the header to accomodate the warm air feed up to the airbox.
