My classic is the only thing that gives me any character at all.

P.S. Your bumper's missing and the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

haha yeh previous owner took bumpers off to modify to make way for winch but never done it so he had chopped them for nothing :(
 
Interesting reg, Channel Isles perhaps? Mine had a Huskey winch behind the bumper & a bull-bar when I bought it (4 yrs ago) so I sold them both, which went towards the cost of fitting the correct front springs & a new spoiler, as the old one was hacked about something rotten. At first glance your towbar looks a bit squiffy, it's obviously had rear light-guards in the past & looks like it's LPG equipped. Hope you enjoy the car, I certainly have the four I've owned over the years.
 
I hope your Mondeo wasn't worth much as that is a bit of a ropey example.

That sort of plate is Northern Ireland. Guernsey use black plates silver text, all numbers. Jersey plate start with a J and are all numbers after that.
 
Hi all it has LPG but not working so I am taking it all out looking at getting it original as possible to sell on as I feel it's not really me and I want a discovery again
 
noooooo

Classic is far superior and excretes on anything else. Full of character and great fun.
 
I agree full of character and fun and I do like it

Think Might just be me not used to it yet haha

Sam,
I have got a front bumper off a 1984 vogue, complete and un molested, might get rid of the rear bumper as well but not decided what to do with it yet, will need to take a template at make a new strong one before it goes. Only problem is I live in Hertfordshire so not down the road. They are hear if you want them and not going anywhere fast..

Don't remove the lpg, get it repaired and it makes it a lot more usable and much much easier to sell on.
 
Aye, my LPG just needed a service and was then considered fine. It's good to have the piece of paper if yer selling on...
 
Especially on a 3.5 - far less likely to have liner problems than the bigger bore RV8's

my old 3.5 had been on lpg for ten years when I got it. I had the system serviced and drove it for another 3 years before I sold it on and it was still working perfectly. It makes a classic V8 a usable every day car, it was slightly cheaper to run than my diesel disco.

Wish I'd never sold it now :Cry:
