Green Tiger - BX19TGD estate. MOT. £100 or less!

Post by Dollywobbler »

The fleet clearout continues. I've decided it would be better to offer up The Green Tiger for spares before the tax runs out at the end of this month. That way, you can drive your parts supply home! NOW SORN.

Chronic rot in the LH rear wing and rear crossmember, other seams blowing (boot floor, engine bay) but it's not bad in other areas (sills are generally sound as are the A and C posts). If you're handy with fabrication and a welder, you could save it. Realistically, it's probably a donor.

Engine is very strong but needs a cambelt and clutch. Gearbox is absolutely fine in all gears. Car has clocked up 190,000 miles now with full service history until I sold it last year. There is a leak from the thermostat gasket which I've done nothing about. I keep meaning to buy a new gasket. There are some oil leaks as well - rocker cover gasket for sure.

Interior is generally good apart from driver's seat base. I've removed the self-cancelling indicator collar but this could be replaced - I still have it.

Has had two new wheel bearings up front recently. Has a good, strong towbar with rather a lot of surface rust. I reckon it'd clean up well enough.

Aside from clutch judder, it drives very nicely - though the spheres are not in the first flush of youth. Central locking and both electric windows work (I've just replaced a rear lock solenoid).

Still has an MOT until next summer.
£100ono.

Does it come complete with Thing?

I might very well be interested, but it would have to be in a couple of months time. So if it's still for sale then, I'll let you know how my domestic persuasion/cash situation is going...

Thing? Might just be my feeble brain but you've lost me.

I'd rather sell it this month if I can to be honest, but if it doesn't go, no problem with hanging on for a bit. I've got a new car joining the fleet on Sunday...

Yeah, I understand that vague declarations of interest are of no use in paying the bills!

It depends on price/condition & how attached you are too her, it would be a cafe racer project so if you can't bear to see her molested i am probably not a good choice of owner.

email/FB/text me if you are seriously considering selling.

Only one week of tax left on this, so if it's going to go, I'd rather it went soon!

Price drop to £150. Surely someone wants a stash of parts? This is going to be much more difficult to move once the tax runs out.

To be honest Mike, this one is spares only. It's quite badly rotten. I don't really want to have to break it myself.
