New year, new changes! I'm aiming to reduce the fleet as realistically I have too many!
Its been absolutely fantastic to me and still is! Never let me down.
Its Ideal as a daily, a project for crazy engine install, or a retro ish ride for a relative.
As transport its the best of both worlds, similar to a new car, yet retro touches such as the cream of Fords late 80's-90's designs IMO plus good old fashioned RWD and they can handle if you want them too. Massive boot, I have moved house and had my mountain bike in there!
I have just recently spent £310 on it in the past 2 months
-a rear sill repair where a repair already was that i'd never noticed
-MOT (it still has about 10 months I think)
-2 new Dunlop tyres 2 weeks ago
-and 6 months tax
The 1.8cvh is a low miler, 68k I think I have been changing oil every 6000 miles and its just had it done recently plus plugs, and filters. and no smoke leaks or anything. happy enough
-performance wise it enjoys a good run, like on the motorway, it can easy sit at 90+ relaxed if you have a private road long enough. and if its a long chilled journey, you may see nearly 380 miles for your £40 of petrol, typical, with mixed driving you get about 150mile for £20 of fuel, which aint bad travelling in comfort. it can move but its no real sportster, minimal hassle from fast lane bullies.
-Body work isnt bad either from what I remember, the worst bit is the wing that has rust on following a repair from years ago going rusty again.
-The chasseur was one of Fords special models, basically an LX in moondust Zilver (or blue) with front leccy windows, key alarm, central locking, big comfy seats in good nick apaty from ex owners odd cig burn, 14x5.5 alloys and cosworth spoiler. its got all you need without unnessesary gadgets like power steering
-passed MOT easy enough, so anyone intersted.
I'm looking for something like £450 without the tax, however we could work something out.
comes with directional wheels BTW
Fresh pictures up ASAP
Cheers
