Folks,

Plea for pistonheaders to search under the stairs....

I've managed to blow the engine on the alfa, I cannot replace it before Christmas and I need to get up to Bristol to see the kids on Christmas day.

Does anyone have a cheap as chips 'thing' with tax and test for at least a month that I can snot along with until I sort the alfa out.

No engine too big, no car too bad biggrin

I'm trawling the pikey times as we speak.

Happy Christmas to all bounce

Mike.

All good(ish!) here!

The Omega on that site is in Cardiff. Not exactly "near" Bristol, but not *that* far?!

Polo, with no heater and no horn, £350
Tidy looking Astra, £300
8x6 Waltons, £180 delivered
£300-350 looks to be the going rate for something with at least a months MOT and tax. I'd go for £500 as a minimum and get something really tasty..ish..
£475 Laguna with 7 months MOT
And the piss-de-resistance - get it bought someone..
58k Prelude, 12m MOT, £500

And get a million and one offers to Top prices paid for XXXXXX make and model. Searching for a cheapo car on the A/t is a bad idea.
