Re: Another bargain!
They're usually twice that here too. The ad says it's lived by the seaside*, I'm not sure if that's a good thing (warmer winters, less salt on the roads) or a bad thing (plenty of salt from the sea).
* Google translates vozen na moru as "drivable at sea"
Here's another (there are 5 on Njuskalo just now):

DS 20 1971, papers lost (good luck with that) not bad condition (well, I'm convinced) for restoration, yours for a grand.

Re: Another bargain!
The damp means I keeps my mini in one of these http://www.carcoon.com/ to stop the rot. Can't recommend it highly enough.
The tourists arrive the week before Easter and don't really go again till the first week in November. I'm glad I don't drive for a living and work from home, but you have to take the rough with the smooth. When the sun shines it is lovely and being able to walk to the beach whenever I want (which is not as often as I should) is great with young kids.

Yeah but Uk coast isnt quite similar to dry Croatian coast.
90% of cars here,if not driven by local sheriffs are in very good condition,rust free.

Only passively via sponge and charcoal filters, though I have stuck an active one in there with it a few times when putting it away in an evening. The car is only used in the dry, so its purpose is more to keep the moisture out than to dry it out.Welly wrote:Nice work with the cacoon thingy, does it de-humidify?

Re: Another bargain!
This has to be a bargain*

Well, bugger me, that's an idea - change your back plates but get a substantial rebate by bunging the old ones on ebay!

Re: Another bargain!
Condition - Good Used, its not the worst backplate ive ever seen but its not particularly good either.
Is there any DIY way to press the plates at home, the solid cast bit which doesnt rust can be swapped over.

Re: Another bargain!
I suspect you'd need to make up the dies and have a massive press...

I have a "followed search" in ebay for anything Dangel and this plopped into my in box a few days back. I wasn't going to bother as the pictures looked like they'd been taken in a rush with a crap mobile at night but it's just appeared again with much better pictures

It's a Dangel! Yeah, but it's a Berlingo...

Re: Another bargain!
Linky?
Looks a bit like a Van for a Water/Gas/Electrickery co.? they often have to go over fields etc and obvs in the Snow they'd still need to get to remote properties. Would still need winter tyres though.
Anyway a peaky torquey diesel coupled to a french 4 x 4 system WCPGW?

Re: Another bargain!
Oops! I was sure etc. Link added, sorry.
That was my thought, I think Dangel have a good name as they've been around for ages but what happens if it goes wrong? It's not as if you could just stumble into your nearest Citroen dealer with it...
