My fleet for sale (Updated)

[1234dist]

As some of you may know we have recently had a little girl enter our lives and the decision has been made we need a new baby bus to safely cart her around which means that our 20 year old cars don't cut the mustard. A lot of this decision was based on the high number of accidents reported over all the forums recently. I now don't know a single person that has not been in an accident involving 3rd party fault.

I'm fair with what i want for them and have took as many pictures as i can of each and added them to a photobucket account save the page taking 3 weeks to open.

If you are interested in any of the cars please pm me and i'll do my best to answer any questions.

Love that GTi

[Marty]

That GTI crying out for a turbo conversion

[tomcat espace]

how much you after for the red 220 gti mate

[1234dist]

That GTI crying out for a turbo conversion

If you wanted to spoil it

Wash your mouth out Marty!


It's a shame to see you selling the GTi, Craig. I thought that you would have held this forever. I hope this and the Amaranth VVC Coupe both go to good enthusiasts, who will continue the care you have put into them.

[1234dist]

It is purely down to new daddy and not safe roads anymore, if it wasn't for the mpg id be having a APC or that new hummer thing hamster reviewed.

Having driven around in my 75 estate and thinking, we need more space the likelihood of needing the coupé or the gti is very limited.
I've done about 120 miles in the last two years on the gti as i'm scared of someone driving into it so it just sits in the lock-up under a car cover which is no good to anyone. Over the last 3-4 years i'm confident i haven't done 500 miles.

I'll be putting funds towards something like the merc viano or similar transit van with carpet and leather

[Marty]

Rovers can take a good clout I have banger raced a few !!

[BIG GEE]

What sort of money would we be talking for the coupe?

[fatdave]

Surprised to see you still have the purple coupe. Of all the cars I've owned this is the one I miss the most. Hope it goes to someone who is going to take car of it.

[1234dist]

Love all of my cars and the vvc is awesome for quick blasts around, but maintaining 12 cars when all you want to do is sit and watch your daughter who starts to cry when you leave the house.

i want a low maintenance vehicle and classic cars rarely come in that category.

[1234dist]

If no real interest i'll just part them out, seems people only want parts of a car nowadays

[james3990]

Stop talking rubbish Craig,

Life doesn't end just because your now a dad

[mg-richard]

VVC coupe is a still a reliable, quick and economical car that could be used daily, GLWTS

[southside]

Pm me a ballpark on the gti if you wish

[1234dist]

ball parks are already listed

[alexcornwall]

Is that gti Immaculate?? link me in if so

Edit - just noticed link to pics sorry.

[1234dist]

one down, 5 to go

[Crome]

You up for an offer on the tourer?

[1234dist]

well thats the first one on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/171889932272?

[BlueRover]

Are you keeping the unit still or getting rid as you've previously said ?

[1234dist]

nope its already sold now but the new owner isn't planning on using it for a while so i can get all my stuff out and finish the cars.

gold 25 is now at home
cabrio is ready for its mot on monday then home
420gsi turbo needs its engine re-fitted then off to mot and then home.

most of the spare parts are gonna get skipped this weekend as no one seems interested in them.

[turbo200]

Recived the bits Dist seems a shame to send to scrap!

[1234dist]

again, no one wants them and i can't store the bits at home so, coke cans it is.

[vinny19791]

[Rover_King]

What car are you breaking?

Half of those are not even 15 years old let alone 20 years old. Surely a Rover 75 estate is a great family car?
