Would be looking for €2,800.

I've owned it since 1999 during which it was my daily driver for about two years.

Its got a reconditioned 1600 T2 which was fitted around 2004. At the time it was fitted with new heat exchangers, exhaust - pulls very strongly, loads of low down grunt!

It's got Porsche pattern discs up front with standard drums at the rear. New calipers, bearings etc were fitted at the time of the conversion.

CB Performance dropped spindles at the front, lowerd by one (two?) splines at the rear.

The body is in good overall condition. The rear passenger quarter panel needs attention as does a patch under the rear seat but stucturally its very sound.
There's a bit of surface rust on the edges of the bonnet, but again nothing serious.

It hasn't seen road with about two years - its dry stored in Cork and is covered in a fine layer of dust at the moment.

The clutch was starting to slip before I stopped using it frequently so that would probably need to be replaced.

The most recent photo I have of it is this one...

I will try an dig out a few more photos but in the meantime these show the car when it was wearing 17" Cups, which aren't with the car

[kvinyl]

I like the headlights that you had on it. What are they called again? I might get a set for Burty down the line.

Clear Vision Euro Look headlights - IIRC I got them from Machine 7. They're still boxed on a shelf in Cork if you're interested? I was keeping them to see if they could be adapted for the Ghia but seeing as how that's going as well...

 

[Coxy]

I'm afraid to ask.....how much?

 

[kvinyl]

€85 for the pair? They're like new...

 

[kvinyl]

This is now in Galway after I brought it up last Thursday. I'll post some up to date photos when I wash off some of the cobwebs...

After three years in storage all it needed was air in three of the tyres and a jump start and it fired up on the first turn of the key...:cooool:

 

[Mr Browne]

beyond me how this is still for sale - bargain

 

[kvinyl]

Cheers Ruari, I think the price is a give away aswell, considering what's on offer on Carzone et al for €6K+

 

[george]

i think you need to get her out and driving, bring her into galway or down to a beach on a nice day with a for sale sign and she should sell.

 

[JustinOval]

George is right you know.

 

[kvinyl]

Yeah, yer both right....where to get the time though...

 

[drifterex]

Hey, howz it goin? Is this one still for sale? Is it a dual carb engine?

Mark.

 

[kvinyl]

I still have it, but it might be spoken for. I need to check with the person who called first refusal to see if it's still going to them.

It's a single carb engine but I'd have a set of twin Dellortos if you wanted to go down that route?

 

[drifterex]

fair nuff bud. sure let me know if they're decide against, cos i'm very interested.

cheers,
mark.

*edit* by the way do you have any current pics of the car. like rear view, interior etc. thanks.

 

[kvinyl]

Still available (see post in other thread in the Lounge).

There's a rear view pic near the end of this thread - pic Coxy took a few weeks back. The dent to the rear apron occurred when the car slipped on the car transporter from Cork to Galway about two months ago.

I can take a few more pics tomorrow when it's daylight.
