Another Salvage Wedge for you boys

[carob]

Hamish, TASMINDEVILS old one.

The next door neighbours wall fell on it, nothing wrong with it apart from a bit of paint.

Just noticed it myself about an hour ago.

Get it bought and painted Rob !

Then you'll have enough left to get it SX'd.

[carob]

You can read my mind Graham, Few bits have been taken from under the bonnet i.e plenum hose caps and what have you, but should not be to difficult to sort out and a splash of Monza Red, M90 Eaton.

Rob

[carob]

Oh and a nice set of 16x9`s

Corrr...it'll be the business.

AND you'll have some history on the car.

[Wedg1e]

That's a whole half-mile from my office, can see it through the fence

[Wedg1e]

Oh look, it's been relisted, guess the reserve wasn't met...

[grahamw48]

One for you Ian ?

I'm having enough grief over my written-off bike, thanks all the same

[grahamw48]

Eh ???

Rammed from behind at a pedestrian crossing, bike's trashed, need wheels for a trip to the Alps in about 5 weeks...

[grahamw48]

Sorry to hear that Ian...main thing is YOU weren't written off.

It's always such a hassle trying to get PROPER money out of insurance companies though. Usually more traumatic than the blinkin accident.

Any idea what the last bid was ? stuck in Oslo for god knows how long so lost touch a bit !!! maybe stuck here for a few days but the beer is on the company.
Anyhow posted a good bad and usly list, it needs a lot of work as it was stripped and then bunged back together after the insurance settled. Heart breaking but insurance said normally 15 to 20% of agreed value if I was allowed to buy it back, then they said No !!! and it would be a CAT C requiring an inspection. Prior to the accident I was going to spend a lot of cash on the car, a treat after miles of fun in europe but !!! such a shame to see it now bt it needs loads of time, effort and money to get it back on the road, maybe someone out there will see it that way but I believe it will be another casualty of the breakers.

So it was written off on the basis of some GRP work and a respray...

Throwaway society?

Jesus.

Even worse, no GRP damage just scratched paintwork !!!

[grahamw48]

I just hope it is rescued by someone sympathetic to the marque, and not just left in the corner of some wet mucky yard while odd bits are ripped off it.

Even if an enthusiast bought it to be broken, then hopefully this would be done properly, and other cars could benefit from the parts.

If I hadn't just bought the 390, then the 400 would have been an ideal basis for a car to use in motor sport, which was something I was seriously considering. Hillclimbing, drag racing, trackday car ? (Interior condition/paintwork not important.)
