Mossy's Cars

[Clio_fool]

Thanks Paul.
Cost £25 each by a local chap that did them in an hour

Absolout bargain👍.

 

[Pegasaurus Rex]

That’s amazing value, where abouts can we find him? Does he have a website or contact details?

 

[Pep]

I miss my V6 more than anything I've ever sold. Love yours, incredible cars.
Think I've said it before but I remember being 19 and buying some turinis from you and seeing your V6, changed my life!!

Yes they’re on Facebook - a company called KolourKoncept and are Bolsover near Chesterfield. Tell him the lad with the blue v6 recommended you please.

Thanks mate, I remember meeting you. They’re such special cars and still feels like a new car to me considering I have had it 15 years now.

I want to buy another next year hopefully, if you sell yours let me know!

I have toyed with selling it but to be honest mate this car is part of the root of our family and was bought when we were really struggled for money and I therefore class it as a trophy of our now success

 

[Crayola]

My mum and dad struggled to buy me school clothes, I wish they'd have bought a V6 instead tbh 😂

Brilliant mate - you make me proper laugh!!!

 

[mossyv6]

So it’s about time I updated this thread 😃
As above I have sold my 2 Trophy’s in view to buy a decent no time needed, drive and enjoy car, leaving time for the family and hopefully free up time to get stuck back into the GT.
I had been searching for a decent Meggy 250 for a few months but nothing really ticked all the boxes and ones that came close sold straight away.
My spec was:
Sport Yellow or Oyster Grey.
LSD.
Recaros In mint condition.
DRL’s.
Under 70k miles.
Low owners.
Folding mirrors.
Xenons.

But really struggled until I noticed @Brigsy was thinking of selling a few cars and I remembered he had a yellow 250.
So messages sent and yes it was for sale 😃
The description and photos described it as immaculate and after a long week, a viewing confirmed that indeed it was!!
The car is an absolute peach with not one mark on it. True respect to Sheryl and Jon for looking after it and selling such a gem to me and an absolute pleasure dealing with them both.

Here’s a quick spec and apparently it’s rare to get a cup with all these options
250 Cup.
LSD.
38k Miles.
Full service history.
3 owners.
Folding mirrors.
Keyless entry and start.
DRL’s.
Xenons.
Mint cloth Recaros.
19 inch with nearly new Michelin tyres.
Private plate.
B and C coilovers with road spec 7/4 springs.
Not mapped
Original catalyst
Original exhaust - no chops
Original interior

The car is exactly as I wanted and I feel privileged to own it. The car has not been messed with at all.

Unfortunately the weather has been absolutely sh1te since I got it home so I haven’t really driven it or taken any photos of it but here is one that Jon sent me:

Thanks to @Brigsy and Sheryl, it will be well looked after

 

[Crayola]

I did wonder who Jon sold this to!

Nice buy mate, can't wait to see this in the flesh!!

Fantastic purchase!

 

[Clio_fool]

As soon as I saw yellow mentioned I knew it was going to be Jon's car. How's it feel to buy a car that doesn't need a load jobs doing for a change?

 

[mossyv6]

Meggy 250 (aka Bumble)

As said the car is immaculate and really needs nothing but me being Mr OCD, I needed to tidy up the exhaust:

Before - slightly dropped on one side and a little discoloured:

So I removed the trim and straightened it up by putting a block of wood inside and prising the top up and worked a treat. I then masked it all up and gave it a quick coat of black:

After:

Also as said the interior was all original and a gentle clean of the yellow stitching on the gearknob and steering wheel revealed how mint it was and looked brand new. Sorry no before shot:

 

[mossyv6]

Thanks you 3 👍
The car is awesome and Paul it’s so nice thinking I have a car that doesn’t need doing - it’s like a big weight has lifted from my shoulders!
It has also gained me a lot of brownie points with the wife 😃

Give it a couple of months and a winter 182 lands on the driveway 😂.

Honestly matey I think I have done with all that now.
I am getting myself all geared up for project GT again 😃

 

[Louis]

Are we going to be seeing this on the 5th?

 

[Crayola]

Are we going to be seeing this on the 5th?

We all know all of our cars will be broken long before then mate

 

[mossyv6]

Are we going to be seeing this on the 5th?

Sorry matey but it’s looking like I’m not going to be able to make it due to lack of holiday cover

 

[Brigsy]

Glad its gone to a good home enjoy mate, a pleasure to do business with drive looks empty with a car missing ! Shez is buzzing that it is still called Bumble.

I always planned on sorting the exhaust out and giving the yellow interior bits a super clean but never got round to it.

Found some screenshots of the pistonheads advert from when we bought it, April 2018. Its got to be one of the best cups out there, never been tracked or abused.

Yes still called Bumble, the wife also made a bee, lol.

Yes such a clean unabused car that will be cherished.
Thanks for them screenshots - they are being printed off and put in my history folder
Any news on that potential new purchase you mentioned?

All the best Jon 👍

Cheers

Paul

 

[Crayola]

All these secret purchases are getting too much now lads😂

 

[jp_lcr]

Fantastic purchase, bumblebee is what my son shouts when he sees a fast yellow car 😂

 

[mossyv6]

I’m just glad I noticed Jon posting up he was thinking of selling some cars. The car just ticked all the right boxes and I was therefore frightened it wasn’t going to happen so I didn’t say anything to anyone!

Thanks buddy. We actually saw your Cup the day I picked this car up. We caught the bus to Sheffield train station and it’s goes via The Belfry.

 

[Brigsy]

Shez said she has all the pics from the advert, if you pm me your email address will get her to send them over.

Still waiting to seal the deal on the new one but should be coming at some point Might move my gtt on whilst waiting.

 

[Not a Diesel!!!]

My yellow Meg get lots of luv.

I get people rolling down windows at traffic lights to tell me how good it looks. Just hardly any of them on the road.

Got a Yxx CUP plate too.

Only thing is would look better with black door handles.

Great choice.

That will great Jon, I will send my email over now.
Glad the potential new purchase is moving along - going to be epic!
Shame about the GT but totally understand.

Thanks mate, yes they do look good for a 10 year old car.
I thought about black door handles but the silver handles represent the keyless pack which is an extra on the cup and to be honest I don’t want to mess with this car to much.

 

[Not a Diesel!!!]

Ah i did not realise. My later cup-s is keyless with gloss black handles.

 

[mossyv6]

Megane

When I bought the car the only real thing I wanted to do was possibly put a set of 18’s on.
I always liked the Fondmetal San Remos so:

 

[jp_lcr]

Suit the car really well 👍 can you feel difference driving at all? I think the originals are a bit over fussy, a lot of newer cars seem to over style wheels, these look classic/motorsport.

Thanks mate. Driven it all of 2 miles for the photos but feel fine so far.

Yes the 19’s that were on it are nice but Renault offsets are a little high so the standard wheels look a bit lost.

These wheels are 47mm offset so fill the arches lovely without the need of spacers.

 

[Crayola]

That looks wicked!!!

 

[mossyv6]

That looks wicked!!!

Thanks mate.

I took ages to decide on wheels and nearly bottled out of these as they’re not cheap! Tried finding standard cup 18’s but nothing came up and then you still have to mess with spacers to get a decent stance and I have read the mk 3’s can feel a bit strange running spacers.

 

[MarcB]

Really nice @mossyv6

I have been floating badly with MK4 Clios or a Meg 265 but it would mean letting the trophy go to free up funds.

Thanks Marc.

I sold my Clio Trophy and Megane Trophy to fund this and I’m so glad I did.
The trouble with having the Clio Trophy was the constant worry of upkeep costs and keeping it mint.

Nah you defintely made the right choice with those! Different to just having TD 1.2's

Just looked for some in 5X108 and all I can say is... GULP!😂

I know what you mean, Mine is MOT'd & Insured all year round and does not turn a wheel.
Im hoarding a stock load of parts for it too for a massive overhaul but there is days I think why am I bothering as I dont drive it

Space for me is not an issue but I keep looking at MK4 LY 220 Trophys

 

[mossyv6]

I personally think now is the time to get a Megane 250 as the nice low mileage one are going to be very sort after as a lot are on high miles or being turned into track toys.

 

[Clio_fool]

They are lovely wheels and black locks good against the yellow, but black wheels may as well be invisible imo. We're they really expensive? Anthracite would look better.

Over €1100 for those in 5x108😂

Agree with the black though, they can look a bjt lost for detail. But these only come in like 3 colours
