Lonesome Cibie Super Oscar seeks similar!!!!!!

[trextr7monkey]

Attractive Cibie Oscar, going a bit grey and rough around the edges; (long term seperated) dodgey sense of humour, currently single, seeks mate to connect with.
Looks and age definitely not so important as will spend most of life concealed inside engine bay and will only really be needed when it is nice and dark.
Will consider any thing as long as it is legal and not too expensive!!

:) :) :) :) :);) :)
Have been watching e bay for an odd one but nothing for weeks.
Has anyone got one under the bed/ in the shed/ etc??
If so please let me know!!

Given the size of a Cibie bowl, and asking if anyone has one under the bed, I should make sure the wiring ain't a tad on the damp side if one's forthcoming Mike.

HO HO HO
Just a figure of speech!
Up here,nowadays, we kep our treasured goods with the Cumberland building Society rather than under the bed.
I doubt if there's ever been a survey of Jago owners to see if they prefer hammocks or 4 posters. By the time they've jumped in and out of the car a few times each day and slept on the ground at Stoneleigh, Newark ,Harrogate etc it probably doesn't matter!!

Anyway dry or damp wires will be fine

Your high beam will smell like old people

[trextr7monkey]

The smell won't matter wid all of dem nice blue fumes!
Anyway it is for engine bay not a head torch or passenger seat!

PS Was it your wheel that came home in my minibus last week? !!

[okeydokey]

It certainly was sir.
I hope it was ok for you

Looks great, getting a tyre on it this week, last of the big spenders or what!
I take it that you have not gone on the long planned trip to the Bahamas with the proceeds?? !!

[okeydokey]

LOL. Not quite, but it bought a crate of stella (reassuringly expensive) for the weekend.
Sorry i wasn't there to meet you, work still spoils everything. Hope you had a good time up in them thar hills though.

Great -sunburn, midges and Tuesday night out in Holmfirth and a bit of mist on Wednesday! What more can a man desire!

Both groups passed despite the usual "confusion" about where they were and whether the map was right or not. Now just getting into 2 months holiday, hence the trawl for the missin' links (or lamp!!)

Advice on a Cibie Oscar please.

When I removed mine the corroded fixing stud sheared any ideas how I can fix it when the engine swop is complete or am I also looking for a spare?

[trextr7monkey]

Hi Jon, Holdens (www.holden.co.uk) keep a stock of spares but not cheap- usually you can make up the missing bits using your sheet metalwork skillsand the infamous pop rivet etc

[okeydokey]

trex, dont know if this is any use to you, as i know you already been to derby and surround etc. but scanning last nights local rag there is an advert in the car spares for two cibie super oscars 1970's vgc with covers for £60 (seems steep, dont know if that in your price range, beat him down or up LOL) 01335 346015
(Ashbourne, Derbys)
Just re-read all post, maybe you an jon could go halves and have one each

... and when you put it back together, either drill a drain hole where the bottom of the rim ends up or, coat with LOTS of grease. Otherwise they will do it all over again.

Wasn't there a model of Oscar with a plastic body???
