you say the engine is seized, but does it smoke, knock or bang?

Shifty

"The engine is seized and has a conrod out of the side, however prior to this it was an excellent runner and with a little TLC could run again"

Problem is it's still a 106, no matter what power it's putting out it's still a rubbish french car.

Only a niche market for them to be honest

Along with the rear seat belts, but still a brilliant car and anyone would be lucky to own it. WINK WINK.

elguapo

its days like these you think of selling, then you get it running and think why would I ever sell it... currently on the sell idea with two rusted exhaust bolts and a lost dremel!
Mar 20 2014 05:04 PM

stefan5417

thought the same today, but then i realise i wouldn't be able to afford insurance on anything other than a mini, and i do love it haha
Mar 20 2014 08:19 PM

elguapo

having spent the last 4 hours under the car griding off rusted exhaust bolts, to discover the original cat had welded studs I'm about to take the grinder to the whole of the car and sell it for its weight in metal! But then tomorrow I will have sorted the exhaust and all will be cool and groovy!

But seriously, 5 grand!! I think they should have showed the valuator the 'restoration' footage before he gave his opinion on value.
Mar 20 2014 06:04 PM

the_samkingdon15

i know! that first one they viewed and she wanted £2000 hahahahaa
Mar 20 2014 06:05 PM

Ben_O

I think that's the only thing i did agree with on there - the fact that the first one wasn't worth 2 grand.
Everything else was total bo*****s!
