J reg 240 GL Estate

stroop · Jul 19th, 2010, 23:48

I know this is a long shot, as most of you guys live down south, but you never know. I am putting the car to the scrappies in the next couple of weeks, but would sell it for £150. The mot has just ran out and would require some attention to the engin to get the emissions sorted,apart from that, it is a runner and would pass another mot without to much work and it would be a shame to just scrap it. The only problem is that i live in the north of Scotland, beside Inverness on the Moray firth. I will NOT be selling spares of this car, if no one want it, it will be going to the scrapyard next weekend. As i said, it is a long shot and a shame that i live in the north, but the offer is their if any one want to take me up on it. I would keep it for a short while if some one was interested

The Details are not a problem, but trying to up load photo's could be (I have never done this before)
What I will be getting shot of is a blue 240 GL Estate which has been fitted with the alloy wheels of my old 240GLT Estate, I also transfered over the leather seats from this car as well, apart from the wear and tear on the right hand side of the back rest on the driver seat, all the upholstery is in excellent condition, the body work is also in great nic for a 16 year old car, their is rust along the bottom edge on the tail gate, and around the rear passenger wheel arch. last year, for the mot, I replaced both rear suspension swing arms, dust plates and drums as well as the exhaust system, from the cat back, the head lights were replaced not so long ago and are in excellent condition.The mileage is 197823, the dash lights do not work because of a short in the wire system behind the dash some where, I know this because I shorted out the wiring when I was sorting the clock. The car is solid all over and would require very little for the mot apart from the emissions. Even if you did not want to mot it, their are a lot of useful spares, I also have a 6 month old windscreen that came out of the other car before it was scrapped, a spare fuel tank and a radiator. All of these will be going with the car, as i said, it would be a shame to scrap the car, but i have moved onto the V40 now and have no use for it.
If someone can point me in the direction for uploading pictures i will get them on, and you will see the body work.

It's looking like the car will be getting scrapped next Friday, no one seems to want it. Ah well, the price of scrap is good at the moment.
