Hmm - not a Daimler; loopy juice to blame

Hehehe dude, nice :-)

I like that a lot. Is it the XY or TU engine?

All it needs is the stripes and bonnet vent from the Rallye :)

That is quite possibly the coolest thing I've seen posted here in a long time.

But yes, it was over priced - I was looking at them last year for half that money.

that's soooo sooo wrong

Brrr, better you than I.

On the other hand: you could have bought this sure-to-turn-heads-"Clio".

:-)

Thanks.

Agreed, but I can't find a decent supercharged Daimler for 8-10K. I was also looking at Saab 900 /Audi convertibles and couldn't find any decent ones.

It's only £750 (less about £20 Quidco) and a train ticket to Tring. I'll get about £200 for the Rover so it's not bad for a runabout until a Daimler comes along that I like. It'll also cost less on fuel.

Looking at it, it appears to be very tidy.

If it's as tidy as it looks, then I reckon you've done OK.

Needs a 106 Rallye lump, decent wheels and a bit of lowering ;-)

I think it's the XY that was fitted to most Talbot 1360's.

Probably. But I'll see what it's like. It'll be temporary transport to see if I get a promotion (more cash) and until I find a decent Daimler.

David

Yep. But I won't have a BMW. That's even more wrong.

And it's got to have 4 seats (2 young kiddies), so a Mk1 MR2 is out. As is a TVR. There weren't any decent Saab or Audi convertibles locally so ... why not?

David

Run away, run away.

Thanks, but pink's not my colour - either for a Ka or Clio ;-)

Besides, I've never owned a cabrio or had a car with aircon. So it's about time I had one of them.

David

Me either so i will shortly be travelling to teh uk to pick up my latest purchase. Cabrio with leccy hood and leather. Most importantly its french and has my favourite 1.8 16v engine in it!

Exactly what I was thinking :)

It's a Honda engined one... it won't die.

But let's for a moment surmise that it did... it won't require the whole engine being lifted out to change the starter motor.

Indeed.

That is awesome. Seriously. :D

You too can look like you're driving a pig!

Fine - do you want it?

True. But I've had it for 8 years and it's about time for a change.

David

I need the 4 seats for ... the children.

Thus disproving your changed comment.
