Wanted: A car for £100!!

[lowrider dave]

I'm doing the Stapes2Naples next year. I need a car for £100 (part of the rules).
So I'm looking for 1.7 upwards Cav, omega or carlton with good mechanicals, bodywork I'm not that bothered about. Preferably tax and test. Lot to ask, but I though I better see if anyone had anything before I buy a Volvo!

[laidback66]

See if you can find a Senator. Bodywork will be cr*p but 12v 3.0 engine is bombproof! :)

[lowrider dave]

Neat! I'll keep my eyes open for one!

[Festerfly]

just sold my Carlton for a cheapie Sum... You could have had that.. if only i had known sooner!!!

[lowrider dave]

Doh!!!

[Festerfly]

Might have to check out this S2N run....

Basically its either something like this or the 'ring with Cavweb next year and as this is for charity it is appealing!!!

[lowrider dave]

It sounds like a laugh - trying to get people together to make a team.

I've got a 1.3 escort van you can have for a ton. Needs a clutch tho.........

[Festerfly]

ooo a van!!!! could be fun!!!!!

Dave, you get first refusal as you were doing the run first!!!

[laidback66]

Oh, this we have to do! :D

A VXON team or 2 or 3... (like the idea of competition... ;))
Sept next year so loads of time to plan...

[Festerfly]

thats the idea!!!

So far my team is me and a workmate..... might try and see if i can get one or two local takers otherwise etc.. but my workmate is keen on just the two of us.. Starsky and hutch stylee!!! lol

thinking of going in some big old luxobarge.... Merc/jag/bmw etc.... failing that.. a 2cv or fiat 126 (take the damn thing back to where it came from!!! :lmao: )

I've got a Cav V6 you can have for 100 squid. will need a new fuel line in the engine bay (still drives but smells a bit), buts its relaxing to drive and will go silly quick if required.

[laidback66]

Think this may need a new thread...

[Festerfly]

go for it!!!


free bumpy for dave aswell!!

[Yelloperil]

Thanks Colin, but just like the other car offers - I'm talking to the lads this weekend, so I'll get back to you, but really I'm looing for something with abit more oomph - say a 1.8/2.0 really.

Really? 100 notes? Why didn't I know about this sooner?

[GMad]

My Omega only cost me £75.00 and it isn't to bad! There are plenty of cheap motors out there.

You got you're CD for £75!!!:eh Blimey!

[lowrider dave]

haha!:Cool2: I have first dibs...I may well go for it too!:lmao:

[lowrider dave]

Still looking - anyone got anything?

[Festerfly]

i missed a 380se merc for £102 the other day... :Shame: only needed a fuel line aswell!!

[lowrider dave]

Damn! The V6 cav we had our eye on needs a new clutch and fuel line - so I think we may let that one go, especially as we'd have to drag it 60 miles to get things done! So, still on the lookout!

[Festerfly]

if i come accross things too far for us or not suitable for our plans.. (hee hee hee) then i will pass them over to ya!

[lowrider dave]

Cheers bud! One of our plans was to paint ours like a UN vehicle...but that means it's mainly white (dull) so I really want black with lots of flames now (I can paint flames well!)...then again...the options are limitless!!

[Festerfly]

how about a van and go for the scooby doo mystery machine jobbie?

[lowrider dave]

Ha! cool. How about a fake breakdown service..Bodgeit & skarper Garages, etc

[DanBoy]

how about a van and go for the scooby doo mystery machine jobbie?

There is one of those in Milton Keynes based on an LDV pilot :lmao:

[Phil G]

i got a 1.8 cav needs tax/mot and to new rear windows but it runs free on the condition i get me shocks and springs off it,

forgot to mention its has no documents either just realised lol spose u can tow it across on teh ferry

[lowrider dave]

Cheers, but we're looking for something that has documents and doesn't need too much work in terms of buying stuff for it! Hard work is fine, but for shelling out for tax, mot, new springs, windows would make it rather expensive! Thanks for the offer anyway mate.

[Phil G]

well car is free to ne 1 who wants for parts or need be, but i want the shocks and springs off it -.-

[MartinImber]

A pre cat 2.0 Carlton would be nice!

[GMad]

You got you're CD for £75!!!:eh Blimey!
