Bought this today - Pic heavy AKA The Trailer

Post by CHR15E » Sat Apr 10, 2010 5:26 pm

Late Tuesday evening I spotted a car on ebay and quickly bought it. Fetched it back today. Ironically it's come from the guy selling the 'police one'.

Anyway it's an '89 F plate 827 Si fastback in white with a manual box. :lol:

To be fair it's scruffy and I haven't decided what to do with it yet. Bought it as it was cheap. It's showing 51K but has no tax or test.

It has a reciept for a new clutch last year and also looks like it's a had a rad fitted very recently.

Any trim missing is in the boot and the car is as I found it.

First instinct, yes. I'll be honest. After looking at it a little longer. Not certain. Need to have a think on it.

I'm considering putting it through an MOT then making a decision.

TBH, that is one sad, tatty looking motor. When you say cheap, must of been really cheap.

Where did you fetch it from? The Police Rover guy is listed as Surrey on his advert....

Was that the "Country Classics" car advertised a few weeks ago?

Chris, I hope you don't break it. If you do go down that route could I please ask if you would sell us the rear seat squab (looks just right for the Limo)?

White fastbacks look great IMO (biased cos I have one).
One or two 800s...

It is no question, but..... It's a manual. :lol:

Need to sleep on it. It was £100 Phil and I fetched it from Haslemere this morning.

Pass on the advert.

I actually thought about the seat earlier for some reason. The Vitesse one in it was there when I picked it up.

Going by the state of that headlining, I'd guess that the rust has come right through the roof above the front screen and water is pouring in. That Atlantic blue mk1 I was given was just like that.

Chris, I'll bet my life that the steel wheels and hubcaps in the boot where previously fitted to the "police" car. I'd say some other "swappsies" would have taken place also......

Looking at these pics, I'd say good only for parts/scrap............

Need to sleep on it. It was £100 Phil and I fetched it from Haslemere this morning.
Haslemere surrey?

Funny that.

I deliver to the co-op in haslemere every day around 7.30 am.

then I pop up the road to greyshot.

You must have been down there after I moved further away.

I dont recollect seeing any 800's down there.

I was going to say, 'can I have the bonnet and wings', but they look pretty much in the same state as mine, in fact, so does the whole car :shock: :lol: I'd roll in as it looks now.

F-DWN plate looks familiar.

The bonnets not terrible Mo. Most of it is muck TBH. A little rust at the leading edge.

Drivers wing is borderline. Passenger one is shot.

Good stuff, I'd definiately be up for alot of parts off that if you do decided to break (I hope you dont break it, but even I'm starting to see the fun in breaking them) I could do with some outer and interior trim parts as alot of my interior stuff is starting to break/collapse, well it is a 1987 car! :lol:

You're welcome to drop in and have a pick over it as I think it's most likely to get stripped TBH.
