I just saw it today in the PH classifieds.

It needs de-pinking!

[TheCoolerKing]

Agreed

Any predictions on sale amount?

I'm guessing £3750 and thats probably way more than its worth.

Ive just read the number plate, "kinky" o dear, sadly that combined with the pink is a sure fire way of reducing its value

[TheCoolerKing]

I really would be embarrassed to get in it. Totally destroys the fun of driving one.

The girlfriend would be cool with it but getting her to swap the Audi would be a near impossible task

[John042]

Agreed, not my choice. However what struck me was the sad fact of another small business going under? Still the bankers are getting their bonuses even if the banks won't help small firms. Sorry just had to respond to the actions our present asshol'''s in goverment. The ones that want us all to drive 'Euro Boxes'John042

While I feel for the guy who looks to have lost his business I can't see that with any Government all would be rosy and happiness ?

As for the car, funny really how someone can spend hours and loads of money to get the look they (or maybe their girlfriend) want and nobody else likes it ! And I'm sure there's someone out there who would pay a lot for that reg number ?

Totally agree bankers should have their nuts removed by force, even tried telling them over on gassing station finance, strangely they took offence to my comments, sensitive souls.

Politics and bankers aside Its a shame when a small business goes tits up, but in this greed driven country we live in the vultures will always appear to capitalise on others misfortune.

Despite the car being a bit of a marmite car I suspect it will be bought by someone who will want to buy it to sell again on eBay and rip off the number plate as well. Although I don’t think the number plate would really fetch that much.

The problem with customising a car so radically is you have to be intent on keeping it and that is just plain stupid. Nobody knows what’s round the corner such as losing your business and having to part with your pride and joy. All that effort and time is now a liability because you’ve reduced your buyers.

I still think this car has CAT status, just a gut feeling.

You're not the only one! Lose the pink bits and put some Estorils on it and I think it would look good. It's even got Tuscan seats.

I'm sure white will go back out of fashion though.

£7500 does seem a little high, especially without knowing the history of the car. But how many Chims were registered in 1992? I can't actually remember seeing one before and this must be one of the first Chims registered. £7500 might be a bargin with some digging in to it's background?

Nah there are a fair few late 92 K plates IIRC.

[Red Cabbage]

The pinkness isn't just the stickers, the seat stitching is pink and so is the pearl in the paint.

[aubrey9160]

the car was owned by a woman from the shropshire district of the tvrcc. Its not a bad looking car in the flesh.

...and when you say flesh you mean pink bits.

A thread for the new owner.

[assynt road]

This Chim is actualy stunning when seen in the flesh, and almost as pretty as its last owner.
Definatly a girly car though, a present for the better half perhaps?

[Chimpafrolic]

Looks like a pimped up plumbers van to me.

Quinny, can you think of someone who might like a vehicle like that?



Here he is having a mega squirt
