Re: cheap SRI tubby for sale
Location is main factor? Would it need much else other than the sill for an MOT? How have you lowered it, i.e. just springs, springs and shorter shocks, coilovers, air-ride, etc?
Re: cheap SRI tubby for sale
With train fares being as extortionate as they are, you really need to specify the location of a £200 car mate.
To help you shift it, you should really take a couple of photos, including the engine bay and this rust patch too
Any advisories on the last MOT? When was the last cambelt change? etc... It may be only worth a couple of hundred to you, but to a potential buyer it could be a few years worth of motoring as these things are tanks. A bit more time spent on its description could be the difference between 10x £20 notes in your hand or just one from the scrappers... (I got a disgusting £50 for my tubby estate a year ago, the price of scrap is a LOT less now)

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
Re: cheap SRI tubby for sale
yeah sorry was just a half arsed atempt late last nite lol
its in somerset. not sure how its lowered i think its just springs but the ride is good still. not boncey.
theres no service history with it so i dont know anything about it really.
things i know that will prop need for mot is 1 head light blub, indercator blub (flashes white) and the rust.
i will take some pictures today for you.
i just dont wana waste 50quid motig it for it to fail. id rather just get rid of it. i know it could be broken for the engine etc . so i ideal car for somone with more time and effort than me.

Re: cheap SRI tubby for sale
Too far for me I'm afraid. I was very tempted though, and if you'd have been Yorkshire or further north, then more than likely I'd have had it.
I'll let one of the southern lot have a go.
Shame though!

Re: cheap SRI tubby for sale
If you decide to break it I'd be interested in a few parts; I need the offside doors front and rear & the wing mirror cowls.
If you come to the point of scrapping it let me know, it'd be a few extra quid in your pocket
