SORN TZD on ebay

Post by Willy »

It's probably not what you were thinking:

This magnificent 'interstellar cruiser' is made of aluminium on a chopped Citroen BX TZD, the doors were welded shut, so entry can never be stylish. It is NOT road legal, but it would be good fun at a festival. It always starts,and settles down happily though the ABS light now stays on. The suspension rises as it should. There are chasing or flashing LEDs all over it, the 'rocket thrusters' move in and out (actually they are Salt Cellars with 12 bulbs), the 'radar' (chicken feeders) revolves, as does the illuminated 'eradicator' (half a Vacuum cleaner). There are red LEDs and a 9 v battery in each wheel trim for added effect. A member of the local peasantry threw a bottle through a Dome, but i have another to replace it. The inside is extremely shoddy, full of wires and relays (but no-one sees that bit). Please note: this vehicle is not capable of interplanetary travel. It is currently SORN. I will put 4 gallons of Diesel in it as the filler cap is behind a screwed down panel at the back...
Any questions, please phone Andy 01547 529534

Does anyone have the correct wheel trims for it though? Without them it's pretty much worthless.

Do you think the height adjusters have an extra position on this one?

Actually not the right one; that'a a mark 1 on a mark 2 as are the thrusters! It realy isn't an accurate restoration.
