Banger boys won't pay £800 for it. People who put that in ads annoy me greatly.

Be nice to see this saved, there is something really appealing about a 60's station wagon. From what I read it seems to be there in its entirety, just with some added gout. Nothing some new tin and a mig wouldn't fix.
Bad time of year, but if someone has a spare bad os sand kicking about it'd be a sound investment.

Being a reckless t**t, even though I don't have money to throw around, I would consider financing it if there was somewhere 'The Community' could store it, and maybe treat it as a shared project?
and yes, I am being serious.
Anyone able to view it?

Anyone able to view it? Let me see if I can clear some space at Arae 52. I'm planning on selling a few cars on and certainly can't do anything for a couple of weeks, but by mid-Dec I might be able to find some space in the unit for it. My drive & garages are currently chock with cars with one of RTLKYuubi's on the way too! The unit is even more full at the moment, but once I can clear a couple of motors then there is every chance of keeping there temporarily or long term. Everyone knows I can manage a 'shared' project....but I really don't have the finances. Space and organisation could be my contribution if this does start going anywhere? Might even be able to collect the thing if the trailer hire & fuel costs are covered. Alolympic, PM me if you're seriously serious about this  |

Can't the banger boys stick to something that isn't desirable and quite rare?

Yep they will. Local sierra cosworth went on the track as the banger boy wanted to av a laf... Paid 1k for it tho as a rotten running shell. Sounds like an old wives tale to me - unless you can name the driver & track. No turbos allowed in bangers, and no MPI until 2011 either - and then it will only be allowed in the over 1360kg class. There's also the fact that sierras fold like a wet fag packet - I love 'em on the road, but I'd not bother racing one. Can't the banger boys stick to something that isn't desirable and quite rare? I might as well say "can't you stick to restoring things that are no good for bangers" - each to their own, live and let live etc... If it's basically sound it would be a cool project - it suprises me a few more RRers aren't "collectively organised" by now to take advantage of opportunities like this that come up? £800 is strong money and about double what we usually pay for a yank, but the fact it is old enough for "classics" meetings makes it desirable & could see it on the track if the owner is only after the £ rather than a good home. |

The Datsuns probably will end up on the track, they were posted up on the banger sites a while ago by Dutch racer 13 Pieter "PeeWee" Liestra, who has a reputation for finding and racing big/old cars, so everybody in the racing community knows all about them.
I also don't dispute £800 for the wagon would find takers - although the fact it's in Truro would but some off.
£1000 for a sierra is another matter, I wouldn't pay £100 to banger one.

Yep they will. Local sierra cosworth went on the track as the banger boy wanted to av a laf... Paid 1k for it tho as a rotten running shell. Considering I was one of the other interested partys. And had been offered it for a lot less. And also know thru friends the banger racer in question. I know its not an old wives tale. Id been offered it for ALOT less! (approx half what the banger paid) It was going bangering, Thats what he told the seller, And my mate who was a neighbour at the time (the whole reason I found the car) It was pretty rotten , But still could have offered most of its panels. A good interior and the engine was spotless. Ran perfectly... The guy selling it had two of them. In a devorse he got One of them, While his ex got the other. She still drives hers around... Shes near on 65 years old driving the cleanest old cosworth ive ever seen  anyway, lets get off the banger racing aspect and get on with finding this beast a buyer.... |
