1983 Aircooled

[Eklipze3k]

Reluctantly I'm going to have to let the little black one go, the other half has lost her job and as I'm still unemployed we're desperate to raise some cash.

Pictures first:








Not currently taxed but MOT'd until April 2010. The engine runs but thew starter cable snapped and I think the starter is on the way out too, so be aware that this may need replaced. The 'sports' exhaust has a huge crack in it so could do with being replaced or changed back to original. The reason for the crack? Well, at some point in it's life the exhaust manifold bolts have threaded the head and were drilled out to accept larger bolts. These, unfortunatley worked themselves loose on my last trip and all the shaking caused the exhaust to snap in half.


So in summary, it works well and with some care and attention could be a short-trip hopper again with minimal work. Will come with any spare bits and pieces I happen to find including an original Haynes manual.
Looking for £300 or best offer, will need trailered/transported away of course.
Thanks for looking.

Curious whos PM was quicker ciao

[Darrell]

What a pity you have to sell

[Eklipze3k]

Thanks Darrell, I'm kind of gutted but needs must.

Jan's pm came through first, and I just want to apologise to all of you as I noticed I'd put the wrong amount in the advert, I've amended now so please PM again if you're still interested.

With those wheels and that paint job, I'd have thought it was worth alot more than 300...

If it was a runner I'd agree, but as it's not and I'm not 100% on what is needed to get her back on the road I think £300 is a more than fair price

[Jan-in-UK]

PM me your phone number please.

[126nutter]

id give you £300 for it now!

[Eklipze3k]

SOLD pending collection tomorrow

At least it got sold to another 126 enthusiast. Hope you will stick around in the forum. I am sure you will get another 126 sometime in the very near future.

Believe me, once I have a stable job it'll be one of the first purchases I make so I'll be sticking around on here for sure

[ciaoflyer]

Did Jan get it?

[Eklipze3k]

Just been collected today by the new owner, Martin (kartman). Sad to see the little fella go but glad he's gone to someone who'll be making use of him.

[Jan-in-UK]

I didn't get it ciao for simple reason. I asked once on the forum for Eklipze number, twice in PM and after I did give up
Shame as I had a very good, future plan for it. But no replay - no deal done really. Even if my PM was first.....
But good it went to a good home, we will see it here anyway so happy ending.
