Someone mentioned its a previous CAT C? doesn't really matter if it is at £750 though tbh.

Good for a parts car..

How many miles has it done if the last mot was @ 29k

 

[Alastair.]

Cars get written off for anything these days, could have been bumper and wing damage. If the shells good and its all standard its worth saving, especially being on 30k ish miles.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Exactly, I have not seen a drivers seat that good, well never tbh.

Paid the deposit now and being collected within a few days.

I would think it's rotted now but the engine and box alone with the interior makes it worth while.

Still plenty of time for the wheel to fall off especially with you buying it 😉

Dunno interior is mine 😂

D day tomorrow! Was going to buy it blind but now decided to view it before paying the balance.

You only have to breath on a rear quarter panel and an insurance company will write a Clio off! People think Cat C means its been bent round a lamp post.. People are dumb

Worst case it’ll break for more than £750.

It’s done by the value of the car so if it happened with a few years of being new it could of done!

 

[m&l172ph1]

The cat system is waste of time. Tons of cars are repaired on a daily basis that are worse than a cat c and none of them have a marker on them. All down to insurance companies and values etc
Wouldn't bother me.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Just arrived, exterior looks pretty good.
Also it’s iceburg not silver!

 

[Naughty Boy]

Don’t judge the bumper, exterior is very good.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Should I say that I also bagged the other phase 1 that was on the drive? 🤪😎😂

 

[Alastair.]

Looks alright bar the bumper hanging off.

centre caps present too.

[Alastair.]

Lovely behind those quarter panels!!

 

[Naughty Boy]

Pretty good! Overall the car is in good nick, not decided what i'm going to do with it yet.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Bores good, all valves good.

 

[Alastair.]

Get the belts on and fire her up!!

 

[Cookson]

Jesus. Get a thread up lad.

Will do but will wait until the titanium arrives tomorrow.

 

[Naughty Boy]

Titanium arrived today, hasn’t been started since 2011 so I needed to do some work before I fired her up. Drained fuel, sorted fuel pump (not priming), fresh fuel, and a few other bits.

Fired after a couple of attempts and the revs shot up. Killed the ignition, removed the engine cover to find the cam sensor had been removed. Fitted a spare I had and it fired up and idled fine.
