My Car up for Sale

[Enoch]

Hi Folks, I have decided I can't be arsed with IVA so I am going to sell my car. It is all done, I think it should pass but I have had enough of officialdom at the moment and can't take any more
First person that comes along with an offer of £3500 gets it. The full build story is at www.deepfolly.co.uk. It is as per the web site except it has new head lamps and spacers have been fitted to make the head rests IVA compliant.
I drove it the other day and all seems fine, the suspension will need a proper set up.
I have built it from the ground up to be compliant so it should go through OK. Buyer will need to collect it on a trailer, it can be driven on and off no problem.
It is a 2.0 DOHC injected engine with MT75 5 speed box, standard Sierra diff and brand new Dunning and Fairbank prop. Petrol tank is a Westfield alli job.
Wheels are Escort, tyres are good but not brilliant, some pirellis or whatever would be better than what is on there, they are virtually new but just not top make jobbies.
There are a couple of very small jobs left to do - maybe 1/2 a days work and 20 quid of bits.
Drop me a pm if interested, If I don't get a sensible offer here it will go on ebay.
Buyer will have to collect it on a trailer or whatever from Bracknell, Berkshire.
Enoch.

Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

You've come so far, don't do it now! Just leave it in the garage until your interest returns - I reckon you'll regret selling up having got this far.

Cheers

Thanks for the words of support guys but my mind is made up. I have had a nightmare with so many different things this year and if one more jumped up tosser of a government (or bank, or endowment company) employee upsets me one more time then I am likely to go completely mental I just can't face it, too much else going on. It's a shame but I have my mental health to worry about, I suffer from bipolar disorder and can't risk my businesses suffering because of me taking too much on. It's gotta go

In that case, best of luck with the sale, your build blog has really made me laugh!

Cheers

Gutted to hear your selling your car! You're so close! I follow your build diary with enthusiasm just to double check that I'm doing it right. Wish you the best of luck selling it though, the buyer is going to be very lucky.

Can I pass on my regards as well and really sorry that you won't be able to finish. You have been a big help to me getting small issues fixed and an inspiration that stuffing a DOHC in a roaster can be done, and done well!

If I wasn't so far along with my build I would have snapped your offer up as I think the car looks ace.

Maybe in the future you can pick up a part built and reap the benefit then

All the best mate and I hope things start to turn for the better for you, bottom line is that health and family comes before kit cars

take care

Matt

Sorry to see you are selling up. Your build diary is a great inspiration for me(along with others). Now that your mind is made up I wish you well with the sale.
