86 model
Sold as scrap

Body work in all good nick just under body work seems to have aches and could do with refurb.
Been used for joy riding when found ou what gear knob was for but the last year years has had one lady owner.
Great fun to ride or stick the cruise control on and let it do the work it doesn't mind.

Always serviced and fluids services at least twice a week of not daily.

Takes a while to start especially in the winter but once started its fine.
Runs mainly on coke or redbull.

I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but it's what I thought of when I read the title :P

1975 edition.

Not original colour.

One careful owner. FSH.

Extensive mileage, but runs well. Overbored, thirsty & needs frequent filling.

Regularly washed & waxed, but exterior starting to show patina.

Mint interior & clean under the bonnet, but fluids could do with a change.

Optional hardware peripherals available on request.

Test drive thoroughly recommend. Bring current insurance documents. No timewasters please.

1971 Future Classic

Comes with full Mullet... 6mths Beer and Lager... 41 years on the clock

Good points:-

2 Previous Owners
Starts first time
Good runner
Ridden off road only a handful of times ;D
Kept garaged or covered up in Winter
Recently serviced :proud:

Bad Points:-

Interior in need of a detox
Exterior could do with a slight makeover
Exhaust can blow slightly
Expensive to refuel but good MPG (male pervy genes)

Part Exchange considered by current lady owner for younger sportier model >_<
Viewings and test drive welcome :D

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

These are brilliant, the funniest thread in a long time.

Used & abused 1975 model

Multiple previous owners (all female, few careful, none were ladies)
Joyridden a number of times when new and still bares the scars
Needs servicing far too regularly for a model of this age (consider paying a professional, if not up to this yourself!!)
Emissions terrible, backfires frequently
Paint thinning and bare metal showing through in places (particularly on top)
Nasty patch of mould growing on underside (can be chemically treated but never goes away completely)

.... would make a good first car for a young female!! ;D

---------------------


'94 Model 'Sport' version

'Off white' body colour with pale brown roof. Bodywork is susceptible to the summer sun & does darken easily, roof goes even paler.

The Good:
One careful lady owner from new.
Not very many miles on the clock.
Engine & running gear all working superbly. (Why there's only one lady owner ;D )
Is very quick away from the line & has an fantastic to speed.
Is washed daily.
Will last for a very long time between fuel stops.
Runs quietly.
Has lots of character!


The Bad:
Has had a few scrapes & bumps, as is a daily drive.
One minor accident a few years ago, but is all fixed now.
Although the breaks are good, they can be unpredictable & will lock under hard breaking. Can lead to slight suspension damage.
Recurring suspension issues, needs regular trips to a mechanic in the spring. (After the Rugby season finishes)
ECU can be a little slow in winter mornings or late at night.


Will be sad to see it go, but the space is needed in the garage.
Price on inquiry. No time wasters please. Viewing welcome.

HAH.... I should really be doing uni work... oh well.

--------

A rare HB model last produced in 1990, poppy red in colour with decals. Both the exterior and interior upkeep is easily manageable with attention, it is not much of a ‘looker’ or an eye catching vehicle but what’s under the bonnet will surely surprise and give any owner a sense of pride! Smart little engine, quick off the mark though at times lags behind after a long day of use and can be difficult to start during the colder months.

A few slight modifications and radiator can get a little hot, needs regular servicing as with any other model. A little rough around the edges but highly reliable, economical and very smooth drive.

Used, can be a bit clunky and has had a few scrapes so in need of some serious TLC, wouldn’t need much time to restore to full condition and would be a rewarding project. Best kept in a warm garage overnight and loves a good runabout!


ahhh, no phone number on this one!!! >_<

For sale an original 1959 model in old english white. Black roof now faded to grey. Had regular servicing up till a few years ago. Several owners.
High mileage but still runs well. Passed last MOT with flying colours. Hard to tell but frame might be rusty underneath so may not last much longer.

£1 ono but free to to any lady driver.

If anyone actually owns that number, i WILL buy it off you.
