Re: K966 VDF
It most certainly is Dave, I had a chat with Simon to get some background on the car (as i am planning on adding a coupé to the driveway) but i have decided that the transport cost to get the car down to me added to the purchase price doesn't make sense. When i have found a couple of others that are in better overall condition and MOT'd which i could drive home.
Cheers

Re: K966 VDF
Sad to see this languishing.
I bought this from a very nice man called Paul in Ewell, Surrey. I remember very clearly taking the train to collect it from his home. The car was very very nice to drive and worth every penny if the £325 I paid for it. The head gaskets and cambelts gad just been done - I think it was 2008 - and Paul had just got back from a French touring holiday where it performed effortlessly.
I smashed the screen accidentally when strimming too near to my gravel drive.
I hope someone buys this as it deserves to be under cover and re commissioned. All of the paintwork is original.

Re: K966 VDF
Brad do you recall if there was any history with the car? Having talked with Simon about the car it sounds as though mechanically its quite straight, i have to say that the amount of iron oxide in the photo's that Simon sent me, the potential for a lot more that can't be seen and the costs to transport south that's putting me off at the moment. With regard to 'undercover' not having a garage is a bit of an issue and having read a large number of your posts i know you lean toward the Coupe's being kept indoors. I could get a cover for it but it would always live outside .... until the planning officer gives in and lets me build a garage!Very Tall Brad wrote:Sad to see this languishing.

Re: K966 VDF
I don't recall having much in the way of paperwork when I bought the car apart from some recent receipts for the cooling system/head gasket/cambelts/water pump work undertaken by the seller a month or so before I bought it.
These Coupes definitely need to be kept 100% in a dry garage. Even leaving them outside under a cover is a no-no. And always park them level or with the nose higher than the tail so that any wetness drains off the back and doesn't collect near the rear window.

Re: K966 VDF
I hope whoever successfully bid £263 for this car will look after it.

Re: K966 VDF
I bottled out because of the transport costs to get it down south. So lets hope it appears on here at some in the near future.

Re: K966 VDF
Blimey. It was only in Wolverhampton! At such a low price, you could almost consider the car was free!
I really do hope this one survives. Not many are left that are totally original. Most have been repainted or welded or patched. This is a virgin, untouched car and needs someone to give it the care it deserves especially as I stored it in my heated garages for the 6 years up until selling it to Simon last Summer. Fingers crossed.
