Wow! My old car for sale, stored since I sold it.

[Dinoboy]

So excited to come across this advert on eBay today. Sold this Daimler Double six in 1994 and the trader put it straight into storage. Doesn't look like it's done any miles since I was last behind the wheel.

Outside my mums house in 1993, I bought this when I was 19.

The interior looks well kept, but if it hasn't been started since 1994, recommissioning could double the price!

Are you tempted to buy it back?

That must have been quite a car for a 19 year old when your friends would have been driving Metros, Fiestas and such like.

Love it.

I reckon after a few beverages on Saturday night you'll be making an offer he can't refuse!

Also - if the fuel lines need replacing why don't they just do it - or is it a bigger job than I'm appreciating?

“Been in warm storage for 23 year, totally rust free, ££££ spent !!”

I was stood next to this at the local car show before I realised it was the car that I had sold to a mate 3 yrs previously.
The latest owner has changed the wheels and grill which probably fooled me .

It's clear you fancy it because otherwise you wouldn't even know it was for sale

Will you put the thread in Readers' Cars or here?

If it was £2k or £3k less I'd of been on the phone to him straight away but I don't have nearly £6k knocking around that my wife wouldn't miss

Hehe wouldn't be the first time I've done that
Agree, either leave it in storage or have it MOT'd and on the road.

Looks cracking, it's a strange thing seeing an old car must admit I'd love just to go and have a look and have a sit in it.
