A classic car club with a selection of classics that you could join for a fee like in the UK, and book your car for a weekend or week. It could work if everyone played fair.

..........actually that was one of the first things I came across whe I wanted to use an old car daily.

A guy callled Clement Wilson in Wicklow set up something like this, anyone heard of or get involved with this ??

Still no idea on the price?

Triumph is still available....

It's still up for sale on adverts.ie. A guy was supposed to come last weekend, didn't show up. He was supposed to come again this weekend, didn't show up. I was kinda hoping to sell it because i have been looking at something else, but if the Triumph doesn't go... You know how it goes...

So at this stage i'd swap it for something interesting.

tempted though what needs to be done to it if anything?

Could be interested in a Triumph... always liked them.
I have a rotten W123 230 CE that could be included as part of a trade. It looks okay but sills are patched and rear arches are rotten. Worth 500ish in parts or could be restored... which I will do one day if the car stays on my yard.

check out the thread on here about the triumph 2000, it's all explained in there.

Basically it needs the rear bumper corners replaced (£60 brand new), the driver's seat is worn but nothing dramatic, it could do with a bit of a service and the wooden inserts on the door cards could do with a varnish.

Other than that she's ready to go, taxed 08/09, on ZVs.

...hmmm, good idea.

I've got the two yokes in my sig - but I'm looking for a different kind of swap.........I'm looking for a 996 - either coupe or cabrio. Maybe someone wants to trade down ? - or, right now, I'd take 14.5k ono for each one. Not classic tax - so don't even ask, but are on classic insurance.

I've got a 2001 996, I'll sell it if I get enough for it.:)

Not asking you to reveal your hand and there's no way under the sun that I could afford one, but what's a realistic price for one of these?

Nice car you have there junkyard.

Hey GalwayTT, you interested in this? I'm curious about owning one m'self.

I'll just go and have a little chat to myself, talk amongst yourselves..

I have a good 1977 1500 spitfire for sale. It's not red but it's in good nick with new rear spring, polybushed, new clutch, starts great and pulls well. Chassis and floors very sound and original. Body and paint sound but not shiny. Perfect tyres. Newish battery. Hardtop and softtop (soft top really needs replacing at this stage). It stands me 5 grand but open to reasonable offer. Dublin area.

mister gullible

BTW would swap for good MR2 MK1 or similar...

If it's me your asking,i would advise you to buy the one for €1200 as mine will not be sold for anywhere near that.

Maybe you can provide us with a link.

Mr.Boots

Great idea for thread.

I have a '81 ford transit camper van
Its got a pop top roof, sink, cooker, double bed, table and two hammocks.
It runs very well and is in super condition inside.
Outside its not so hot.
It needs some work on the body but nothing to major.
The chasis looks very good.
So a bit of a project, but drivable and something that is getting rare.
I was palnning on keeping it and doing some work myslef but i just never have time and id like to see it go to a good home where it will be used.
I have nothing in mind for a swap, so make me an offer, car or bike....or van.

how much cash for the spitfire?:)

mister gullible

Take €4,500 or very near offer. I viewed a lot of rotten spits before I bought this one a couple of years ago. I put a new clutch and pressure plate in it when I got it and at that point (purchase and clutch) it cost me just €5k. When I got it there was a new rear spring fitted, polybushes, brake pipes and new tyres.Chassis and floors perfect and bodywork solid with some minor repairs. Paint is BRG and acceptable (not show quality). There is a good hard top but the plastic windows in the softtop are cracking now although I use the softtop all the time. Starts immediately and drives well. That's it! It's a 1977 model so cheap tax and insurance.
