scooby_doo_do Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Well, after much discussion i've decided i can no longer keep my hotrod. This is mainly due to the fact i've recently started a new job and don't have the time to finsh it and it's no longer parked in the garage as i've got the ultima, and it's going to get trashed over the winter. Most of you would of seen my thread.. But we basically purchased the car with the intention of restoring it and taking it to Le Mans. However due to a list of problems it had longer than my arm, this was never the case. We've spent many a ££££ on this, and although it's now got a full MOT and is tax exempt (Has historic tax) it's still not finished as the interior needs addressing and so does the body work (Although it can be driven without a problem, and still looks good from 3 meters with glasses) I'm going to be putting the car shortly up on ebay to the highest bidder, and i will update this with more information shortly. Some pics of the car and works can be found here: http://www.tripkings.co.uk/humber Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I love it but my wife would kill me if i put that on the driveway. It looks a proper cruiser, hillbilly's and bangos spring to mind evertime i see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks Guys, i would keep it just because of the all money i've spent on it all in all i think owe's over 5k and i know i won't get near that much back -It's just had a replacement rear axle, new master clutch cylinder and some other bits that broke after a drive to Hertford (cost around £700). But it has been fun and a learning experience.. but my new job and the ultima comes first now :-( and i don't want to see it get trashed in the rain/snow/sleet/etc..

SteamAhead Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 After all the work etc... I'm really amazed you are willing to give this up?? Really hope you're sure on selling this as it was a real find. Out of interest, how much are you looking to get for it (realistically). Can it sit any body in the back or is it strictly a 2 seater? Roughly how much do you think it would cost to get this car finished? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Now up on ebay.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220298425046 As for price - we are ideally looking at anything over £1500 possibly more, i have no idea how to value it... i'm going on the fact you can buy an astra gte that's nackered with no mot for 1k - so this with mot/free tax, classic number plate etc should get some interest? who knows... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
