White 1850

#48 Post by Carsreunited » Sun May 21, 2006 10:34 pm

The white 1850 that I accidentally bought and was used on the club restoration stand is for sale. Proceeds will go to the club.<br>
<br>
It's the one that Simon Goldsworthy of ex Practical Classics fame had before me. It needs work but for £150 it's not bad at all. <br>
<br>
If you are interested let me know. I can deliver it on my trailer for the cost of petrol in the tow car.<br>

Well done Kirsty. I can't think of a better car to have as your first car <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

That's one mad back seat cover! You could of at least got it to colour match the seats though<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Still the black matches the seatbelts I suppose <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Fits the new car a little better. Slightly more appropriate <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Kirsty, sounds fantastic! Best of luck towards passing your test! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Well done Kirsty. Sounds like the speedo cable is a little bent. A new one should sort it. About a tenner.<br>
<br>
Don't know how they could test it on an mot so I wouldn't worry about it being a fail.<br>

Congratulations on your new purchase, you`ll have many happy miles together i`m sure, regarding the speedo, it won`t fail the MOT, they have no way of testing it really, having said that it would be a good idea to sort it though, if nothing else just to know how fast you`re going<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

It needs one sill (in zintec) finishing off, the other sill replacing and a fuel leak from the pipe under the body repairing. I have three doors in Inca that are very sound (with sundym glass in) which will go with the car as the doors are a bit shot. Apart from that its pretty sound. Just had a new clutch master and slave so it least it moves under its own steam.<br>

I'm going to take dolly (still havn't given her a proper name <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ) for an MOT - she's ok till June 14th but Im on holiday around then n Id like to get her looked at before I go so can prepare myself for any potential expensive repairs (there better not be any!)<br>
<br>
So just wondered if anyone has a garage recommendation for the Leicester area?? I know she'll probably be fine at any garage but if there is a particularly triumph friendly one nearby I'd like to take her there!<br>
<br>
Also the back seat isn't fixed down? Are they supposed to be? I sat on it while the car was being driven and it just slid from underneath me. . .<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
<br>
Thank you!!

There is a kind of lip along the bottom front edge of the seat that its should locate behind. That will stop the slidy forward problem. I know a good place in Kettering that is older car friendly if you get really stuck.<br>

I'll have a look for that catch thing then - thanks! After some looking I think I'll just take it to a garage about a 5 min drive from me - they apparently offer a truly impartial service <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

NO NO NO DONT TAKE IT TO KWIK FIT(i guess thats who you mean). The spotty 12 year olds wont know what a triumph is.<br>
go around to a few local independant garages and look for a old chap in old oily leyland/ austin overalls and maching baseball cap. ask what car they drive/ own if the answer is something older than 20 years old thats the man to use.<br>
If you have neigbours with older cars ask them who they use.<br>
A girl i know took a escort to KF for new brake discs/pads, she was charged £160 , a local independant back street type garage said he would have done it for £75.(the discs and pads only costs £40) so that make £120 for less then 30 minutes labour.<br>
