sell - dont break if she's not v rusty as they are getting rare now..

is it the 4 pot?

[Zayyan]

Don't you dare break it!

Sell it and use the free road tax next year as a selling point

[Simon13]

free tax?!

[Zayyan]

I thought cars over 25 years old qualified for free road tax.....I remember a mate of my dad's talking a few years ago about how he was waiting for his '77 Silver Shadow II to become 25 years old so he doesn't have to pay tax....

[Simon13]

i think it's now anything older than 1972 now but i may be wrong!

[eko]

Its a 6pot carbed!
Seems to have plenty of low down torque,but only drove it about 6 miles and didnt rag it!
Dont break? anyone want it cheap then,or i might stick it on Ebay!

[Zayyan]

Anyone know the insurance group?

Re the free tax thing the DVLA site says that only "vehicles constructed before 1st January 1973 that are not used for hire or reward or in connection with a trade or business" are exempt...bugger

[eko]

Did think the free tax thing sounded strange!

[Bharat]

Track car !

With a few mods, of course

[Jhonno]

i'd love to drop an m50 in it

[dazleeds]

simons rite unfortunately only pre 1972 cars get free tax

unless you go break both legs and get motobility?? dnt think theyl give you a sport on it tho

ps how much would you want for the e21 if you do decide to sell??? might have to start saving
i got fond memorys of them lovely motors

[E30BeemerLad]

at least that would look good with Minilites on it, dragging it's arse

[dazleeds]

whats this thing you have for minilites beemerlad???

[eko]

Track or Drift car...ummm! got this 3.5 E34 sat in my driveway
Seriously though,really cant be arsed swapping it over,but the potential is definately there!

DAZLEEDS. Im a long way from you,but if your interested PM me!

[E30BeemerLad]

Daz - don't know what the thing is with minilites, like the retro look and I think that shape is ripe for them and I don't recall yet seeing one with them on.

The M30 option sound very tasty too!

[eko]

Right then ive decided,going to put it in CARS FOR SALE section and stick it on Ebay!If I keep it,it is just going to get broke up for parts so if anyone wants it then let yourself be known!
Price?Dont want to be greedy,so I reckon Ԛ£125 is fair!
I know its worth more in bits,even with no reserve on Ebay,its got>

5 x Alloys
Excellent bumpers
All doors,bonnet and boot very good
Opening quarters
Very good interior
Superb Engine and 5 speed box
plus endless other bits

If ive still got it this time next week,this is going to happen so if your interested my mobile is 07859 373164 or send me a PM

Daz

[eko]

Mileage is 152,000 but has invoice for Engine rebuild at 69,000,also pile of history!
DAZLEEDS i know what your saying,im the first to defend older cars,and it would be a real shame to break,but ive already got too many cars,and im supposed to be calming down a bit(her in doors!)

[Jhonno]

b a shame to break it, any test on it?

[eko]

Sorry meant to say NO MOT OR TAX!!!

[dazleeds]

Dear santa ???????///

[eko]

Daz i can see it know,wheels and seats off my 316i and running gear from my 535i,very black paint,front skirt,twin exit exhaust and very low...
Main problem is,I got my Missus to take me to pick it up today,and as soon as she saw it,she said UUUUURRRRRGGGGG!
Tried convincing her of the above,but shes having none of it,got her mind fixed on a SAFE NEW MODERN CAR,but well see about that

[dazleeds]

luckily mines car mad just dosent like a full drive lol
downside is shes e36 mad ive tried so hard to convert her but wnt have none of it mate she hunting for a 323ise
either you or me has to save this motor mate and i cnt at moment you start the project and when your bored ill finish it

veryvery black on the floor twin centre exit pipes rumbeling like a wild fookin beast scaring all who come across it go on mate save it
such a shame your not local

[Andy_magic]

Theres a definate track car there for someone

[eko]

Daz just tried convincing her again,I even promised not to get anymore cars !Told her all Our plans-Black,Fast and very individual(around here anyway) and shes still not budging.
Dont get me wrong,when it comes to cars,I rule the roost,but if im quite honest,I really have too many other things happening in my life right now,and cant really offer enought concentration or enthuisiasm to see it through!

[eko]

Daz something a bit like this,but Blacker and lower

[E30BeemerLad]

Damn this car for being in Torquay! Was thinking even about it going to my old fella's place in Norwich, but that's still one hell of a hike and it will need trailering won't it.

[Dominitry]

Lovely cars, have a vid somewhere of Chaos's old E21 on triple dellorto's going through the tunnel.

[medway]

Laws have changed lads! Only cars built before 1972 are classed as historic vehicles (tax free) so unfortunently it wont be tax free next year. Sorry.....

[Toby_Unna]

Lovely cars, have a vid somewhere of Chaos's old E21 on triple dellorto's going through the tunnel.

well look for it then!

[wilkos]

Iv got loads of parts new wings,sills arches,lights u name it and 40mm brand new lowering springs! anyways enough of the sales pitch lol.

[Kedge]
