S1 S160 (now 111S) in Dundee a few times

[rossybee]

Dark blue, parked in a drive with a showercape, reg S111***

Seen it a few times there now, anyone on here?

[rossybee]

This car is still sitting under the cover....what a waste

[StiflerMR2]

Chance your arm and write a note and stick it on the cover, you never know

[rossybee]

Oh this thought has crossed my mind...actually chapping the house door and making enquiries. But what would be a realistic value, and what would need doing to recommission?

Lots I reckon, all fluids, brake overhaul, could be a wee minefield...

[StiflerMR2]

Craig would see you right, offer them £6K

[rossybee]

I'm Dundee born and bred. Was thinking closer to half that.

[StiflerMR2]

You better hope the owner is not Dundee born and bred then if you offer them that

[rossybee]

Being Dundee born and bred, I'd ensure I was more than an arm's length away prior to making such an offer

[TarmacTerrorist]

It all depends on what it needs, if it has been under a cover for the last few years theres a good chance the paIntwork is shot with micro blisters.

Anywhwre from 6 k upward i'd say.

Go knock the door, you dont ask you'll never know!

[rossybee]

All based on it's not been touched in these years...it'd need a fresh battery to start, so big risk.

I'd not pay 6k for such a risk.

[campbell]

If its a bona fide S160 I think it IS worth a £6k risk.

Chap the door.

[TarmacTerrorist]

Indeed, i paid 6k for mine, spent 4k on it, i reckon its worth a minimum of 15k now. 40k, 3 owners, it was just a bit unloved, needed paint from micro blisters and suspension refresh.

If you doNt want to knock the door, pass the address on, ill happily go and ask!

[rossybee]

I'm currently offshore Qatar, due back in 2-3 weeks so might just do that...and if I don't, happy to pass on details

[campbell]

You really must. It's the new purpose of SE. Sort of like an old dog rescue home.
