New member - On verge of a purchase

[JohnC35]

Hi all,

Thought I would introduce myself, likely to close a deal on a Chim this week so will be on here for advice and hopefully offering some.

I live in Leicestershire, anyone near me?

Thanks

John

Welcome!

I'm in Market Harborough.

Tell us more about the car and when are you picking it up?

[JohnC35]

Hi and thanks

Roadtest and possible deposit tomorrow, it is a 430.

What is yours?

Ah, the rare 430.

good luck with your purchase.

[JohnC35]

Thanks, more details tomorrow, I dont want to jinx it!

[Tyre Tread]

Mine's only the humble 400 I'm afraid. But I like it!

Whereabouts in Leicestershire are you?

Let me know if I can be of help.

Hi Good Luck with the purchase, enjoy the drive home!

[JohnC35]

Hi,

I live in Bagworth near J22 M1.

Deal done, will take delivery of a 65k silver 430 in a couple of weeks. Very impressed by the test drive, pray for good weather.

Looking to order a battery conditioner now.

I am a Cobra convert so looking forward to getting involved in the club and completing some polishing and tasteful original minded mods.

Thanks

John

Get ready for your pockets being emptied with the mods. But enjoy

Test drive and MAYBE a deposit..... I think u may find it will be , turn ignition, pay deposit, test drive an added bonus!!

do it!

[JohnC35]

Ha, thanks Robert, deal done, starting it up was significant!!

[J4CKS]

Congratulations. A wise purchase sir!

I'm in Anstey, just off the A46. Not far from you at all. Let me knowif you're up for a spin when the weather is a bit better.
Harborough isn't that far either come to think of it..

It'd be good to see some local folks Chims.

[Tyre Tread]

Both not too far away. Not sure I can manage to keep up in my lowly 4.0 though

More importantly we need some photo's of the new beasty. !!

[JohnC35]

Hi J4CKS,

I drive from Bagworth to Syston every weekend to get my son, a journey the car will be used for a lot, so will definitely drop you a line. I pick it up on the 25th so will want to get a few miles under my belt before sorting a few bits.

Cheers

John

Nice one, an early Chim that's managed to stay unmodified this length of time - especially a 430 is worth preserving.
Has it got blue leather seats?

Photos as requested, more when I pick it up

[JohnC35]

Yes, it does indeed have blue seats, do you know it?
