For Sale R reg 820 Si Saloon Manual

Post by CHR15E » Sat Nov 15, 2008 4:31 pm

This is the 820 we fetched from Carl a few weeks back.

My brother has decided that he's going to look for something smaller and cheaper to run so it's for sale. He only used it for a week before it going for the test and the car was fine. He's struggling for cash and has had lots of personal problems so the car has sat on my drive since.

Previous ad and details of the test can be seen here.

It's MOT'd till 30/09/09 and hasn't been used since the test due to the tax running out. Currently not taxed therefore. Mileage is 119K.

As mentioned by Carl and in that other thread the car makes an odd bearing sort of noise. I've made a vid so that can be heard.

Image

It pulls well and quietens down after it's been run for a bit. Sounds like it's a tensioner or the engine rather than the alternator or similar to me?

I'll throw in a spare engine if that helps sweeten the deal? I have 3 spare 2L engines. Two complete and one with the head off.

Loads of pics here. I've tried to the show the car as fairly as possible.
It's no show winner but it's a good solid car that has a long MOT and would be ideal as a cheap runabout.

Looks like a good "starter car " for some one wanting to get into 800 ownership.

Would'nt take much to sort out its bodywork either.

Good luck with the sale.

This is another one of my old cars which I sold to Carl a year back. It's a lovely, comfy car and very smooth. Just needs some TLC.
No longer an 800 owner!

It's a decent car and would make a good shed to use till the test runs out.

He'd gladly swap it for anything smaller.

It's Nightfire. :P :wink:

It's the £50 Sterling I bought last year that my dad is now using.

Any interest at all?

I'm not ebaying it. Don't want the mucking about. I'll try it in the local Ad Mag and see what happens.

I can't threaten scrapping it as the price for scrap is shocking. :D

Though I'll break it if doesn't sell.

errr how much chris? Not for me but i know plenty of people who are after some cheap motoring...

As an aside that airfilter will fit my 220GTi i reckon any danger of letting me have it with those other bits?

£200 covers costs. Spare engine is still available at that as well.

I'll have to ask on the filter, it'll have the standard box fitted for selling.

Thats very similar to the one you had some time ago with the LPG kit in it.

Same apart from the interior, mine was grey.

Strangely this car has the gearbox from mine in it.

Looks like breaking it will be the way forward.

Anybody need anything? Got a pretty much brand new cat on it.

The lights will fit, I have a few sets of them already. £20 for a set including the boot lights as the reverse light is smoked as well.

Couple of quid for the repeaters, not sure on the filter. Still haven't asked.

£10 for a window motor, I've got piles of those sat.
