1992 1.7 TZD Hurricane Spotted F/S on C&C - Only 2 Owners !

Post by RxBX »

As title listing J889 UOG spotted for sale on Car & Classic, only 2 family owners from new with 111k miles !

Needs some TLC but @ £550 O.N.O. I'm sure this will not be around for too long if the body/metal structure is okay/reasonable in the usual WEAK-SPOTS !

Rust on front nearside wheelarch
Nearside wing mirror not electric. Original Was broken off so replaced with a manual version.
The sunroof may or may not work. The reason I don't know is that I've never used it. However it worked before I took ownership.

Sandre GO for it (Before it ends up @ Newark) :lol:

As I was even in two minds to view and hopefully buy it (And not to bother posting the spot) but 'No room at the Inn' unfortunately :(

If I could get over there before next weekend to look at it (I can't) I would seriously consider it - and if it's not been snapped up by Thu/Fri next week will very likely consider it again ...

NEXT weekend will be Tooooooooooo-late (As I'm sure it will be gone by then) !

Also I've just noticed that Pauls Hurricane registration number starts with J899 (This one is J889) !

I will not buy a BX sight unseen and I can't get up there until next weekend.

I'm out, but it looks fantastic for the money and probably not going to hang around. While I'd probably disagree with Swiss Tony when he says, owning a classic car is like making love to a b'yoodiful woman, both are expensive hard work. Why would anyone possibly want two!!? :)

Well done Sandre, hope all goes smoothly. It does look perfect for you. I just wish I could afford that Meteor that has been posted recently, it is exactly what I wanted. Trouble is I am now very attached to my TXi.
