Something REALLY Different - for Steve!

Thankfully it is indeed a "rare opportunity"
 
Too rare for me...
 
Jeez....your "ride" to your "final resting place" should at least be in a Caddy!

But a Grenada?!?!?!

Puleeeze!

:smile:
 
I actually am embarrassed that thing is actually in my state. :blush:
 
Sixty-five hundred for that?

Mind you, being as it's in Packers' colours it might fit in here (I could do good business handing Packer fans' funerals). Thanks for the thought, but no thanks :wink:
 
Just received this in my e-mail from the British car club, speak of the devil :devilgrin: Note car #3

"Eight cars is just too many for One person, so I've decided to
downsize my collection a bit and am offering Three of my Super Cool
British Cars For Sale. I realize that for most of you the fact that I
live in Seattle makes this Not an option even if you Were interested,
but just thought I'd thow it out there.


1) First car and my favorite of the Three is my 1982 MG Metro, Early car
with black interior, Fog light Grille, later Metro Wheels 52,000
miles, looking to get around $6,500 US for that one

2) Car #2, just as rare 1980 Austin/British Leyland Princess 2, 4
cylinder 1.7 litre overhead cam O Series Engine, Gold Seal Rebuild, 4
spd manual Trans, just had it painted Bright orange, it was boring
Leyland Beige looking for around $4,800 US for That one.


3) Car #3 1979 Ford Granada Coleman Milne Cardinal Hearse, went from
black to Corvette yellow with yellow painted Audi Alloy Wheels, 2.8
V6 Automatic, runs good, but it's pretty slow in the acceleration
department so Really needs a V8 in it, plenty of room for one. Comes
with a John Deere Green Casket in the back with yellow handles.
Looking to get around $6,500 US for that one.

I don't expect a rush of response of course, but if you know of
anyone that might be interested let me know, Todd in Seattle. <span style="font-style: italic">I do have the e-mail address...</span>
 
I used to own one of those MG Metros, actually a decent little car. The red one there is a late 1982 car then, it has the 'Y' suffix on the number plate. Mine was 'X' reg; one of the early cars.

Fun to drive, decent MPG. I'd have another one, and the car is more value at $6,500 than the hearse! I think that the vendor was a member of the BCF, not very active though IIRC.
 
6500 for the Metro, eh?
Just because it's RHD, I suppose.

Maybe my 64 Jag MK2 RHD is worth a whole lot more than I thought it was......plus I don't need some tool to pump antifreeze into the rear hatch supports?

Puzzlement.
 
There's a same year and colour, MG Metro for sale in my town, I've looked at it, and can't quite grapple with the fact of handing over $6.5k for a Metro!
Same price, decent nick.
If it was a turbo, be a different story.
