OK, so........
Im thinking about 16valves again cos' of this place. Dammit.
Whats a rough one go for these days? TBH i had a quick look on 16v.co.uk and they seem to have dropped in value from a couple of years back, which is odd as there must be fewer left.
Anyone actually got a rough ish or cheap ish one going?
Id like a project 16v whilst i drive this St Tropez i reckon.

I know where there might be 3 in various states, the prices haven't changed just people have become a little more realistic. But really, do you need one? Have you the time and the money?

Re: OK, so........
i will be looking soon i reckon. Need, no.
I dont need 3 bikes and 6 cars i have. but liquidating a couple should free the funds required to sort out a project one.
But basically i want to know what a project or ropey runner will cost at the moment.

Re: OK, so........
hmmmm, postage would be handy
Thats more reasonable than i thought to be honest. I think moving one MOT'd 2CV would be enough to buy and sort out nicely money wise, as it should release about 1100 quid.
Any of the ones you know in the midlands?

Re: OK, so........
yep, all three of them. One Mk2 very very late one with cat and lots of cosmetic blems, probably one of if not THE last RHD 16v to role off the line. And two Mk1's one in near immaculate condition that might not sell and one which would be a good project, drives well just needs tidying really.

Re: OK, so........
was that red one a Ph1 Doc? I thought it was a Ph2?
Ive had a black ph1 with aircon F500 MOD and when i sold it i immediately wished i hadnt and a silver ph1 that i bought for 50p and needed just an MOT test.
Then that red one, which i was SURE was ph2. Am i mis remembering?

buy this;

At £10 i'd be very tempted myself, just no where to put it at the moment. Well worth it i reckon, not a lot to go wrong on them

£10 to buy the heater isn't the issue.

You beat me to it David.
I hired one once for a whole w/end.... by monday I knew why they were so cheap to hire.
It burns gas so fast that there is a permanent ring of frost round the tank, as the pressure drops
