I'm gutted to have to do this but needs must. Too many cars and not enough money!
This lovely 1982 924 has spent the last 11 years in a nice warm barn until I rescued it. I had planned on doing the neccessary work to get it MOT'd and use it as an inexpensive fun car, blatting around country lanes with the roof panel off and the windows down. Great! Unfortunately I have recently become a pennyless loser due to a few large bills arriving in quick succession and cancelling out any fun I may be deriving from life.
The 924 was owned originally by an airline pilot before it was bought by a Doctor in 1989. He used it until 1999 when he parked it in his barn after replacing it with a larger car for his family. When it was parked up it was still on the road and had no issues.
The 924 is generally in pretty good order but by no means a minter. Theres a dent in the N/S wing at the front and the odd light dent here and there, nothing too drastic. Theres the odd bleb of rust, just surface stuff though. Underneath the bodywork is fantastic! It would make an ideal daily driver as it stands but would be easy enough to repair and do up properly. The paintwork is very shiny as I spent a weekend machine polishing it. It gets loads of admiring glances and nice comments when I move it from the garage to the drive. I forget to tell people its not actually on the road!
Inside the interior is fair but usable with wear to the centre of the drivers seat, wear to the rear seat and the odd trim panel has shrunk and peeled with age. Again, you could use it as is without an issue but it would be easy and cheap enough to make mint.
All electrical systems seem to work, electric windows, lights, indicators e.t.c
Nearly forgot, the drivers outer front seat mount has been bodged in the past. I removed the seats to enable me to clean the whole interior out and I found the seat mount has been welded in after the captive nut fell out. I had to use a chisel to get the seat out and the seat mount now needs a small welded repair. No problem really but it would need doing for MOT (if it was spotted)
Mechanically it needs work. The engine isnt running and I have obtained a good used high pressure fuel pump to repair the original which had seized. There may be other things that need fettling before the engine will run. The engine turns over on the starter easily enough and the compression sounds good. I have poured petrol into the intake manifold and the engine will run for a while before it cuts out. Oil pressure light goes out on the starter after a few turns. It shouldnt take too much work to get it going. It was running well when it was parked up back in 1999.
The tyres were brand new when parked up but obviously are now 11 years old. A tyre fitter has checked them over and they would get through an MOT easily. Use them at your own risk.
Clutch is OK and but brakes may need attention. They operate normally but seem a bit sticky. They may need work or may free up in use.
Overall this is a great genuine "barn find" project and should be on the road with a weekends work.
I'm not sure how much to ask. Does £300 sound reasonable?
