3 litre v8 automatic, 135k miles. Engine and gearbox in good condition. Bodywork in good condition with no rust that I can see. Owned for more than 5 years though has been off the road for the past 2 due to me fannying round with other cars. No mot. 16" alloys with bald tyres. No knocks in suspension. Springs lowered 25mm Grey leather 'comfort' interior. Will need trailering as the brake master cylinder has been removed. MAF and a couple of engine relays are missing as they've been used on another car. Could be repaired easily or used as a v8 donor. Must go by 21st August. Car is in Port Talbot, SA12.    |

Is the MC included but not attached or is it AWOL altogether?

Do you know the exact relays that have been removed mate?
Also is there anything else missing that you haven't mentioned?
I will come and get this whenever is good for you as long as I can see it running one way or another!

The MAF, air filter assembly and large air pipe to the throttle body were removed. The pipe was split and I don't think I have it. The MAF was used on another car which I still have. The airbox may be in the garage. The car will start and run without these.
The blue coloured fuel pump relay was used on my other car. It can be swapped back to start it, though isn't included in the sale.
There is no battery, though I could take one off another car just to start it.
The engine and gearbox are good, and the engine doesn't use water.
The rear exhaust silencer is removed, though included. The v8 sounds great without it, though pipes will be needed to run without it.
The brake master cylinder is removed though included. It's easy to fit, though obviously everything requires bleeding. This could be done without jacking the car providing the caliper bleed nipples undo easily.
The brake discs have rusted. It passed its last mot easily, though that was a few years ago. I'll check when and re-post.
It has to go by Saturday and unfortunately will be weighed in otherwise.

Dam it. I'm working in Swansea from Tuesday next week. Would of liked to see this. I have another car arriving on Monday and need the space by then. I'll phone round the scrappies tomorrow to see when it can be collected and will let you know if it will still be here on Tuesday. |

Worth doing a 3 day auction? Might get a few more quid and it would hopefully be saved from the scrappy!!

A fellow retrorider asked about the condition of the cills. There are plastic covers fitted but I've had a good grope about around the jacking points and where they meet the inner cill, and they appear sound. The floor pan looks very good.

Good Luck!! Hopefully someone is feeling brave. There is a FB group called E34 zone it might be worth joining too. |
