3200 AC, Rosso

[safrane]

3200 engine on e-bay at less than 3k with about 48k on the clock

 

[lozcb]

But guys , where's the earner......................... laying out £13K and doing some labour yourself just to have the possibility of making say £2-3K ...... that aint good business in my book, i'd rather work for a living with no outlay


regards loz

Guy's I told David about this car last week. It's an existing customer of his so I hope he can either help with parts to get it sorted or save it himself. He has an Ac so has a soft spot for them.

I hope someone buys it to save it...Such a rare car it would be a shame to loose it to parts...

It's an auto too - so not for me even as a toy. I know I don't need another toy, but that's besides the point.

I would have a red AC even if it was an auto or not, a red AC is a red AC, the best colour for it IMO.

That's because you haven't passed your test yet so haven't had a chance to develop strong preferences...

 

[nigw]

But yes, red for an AC - looks great.

 

[dem maser]

Auto's do seem a little out of sorts with the type of car if was suppose to be agree....................But can understand why some had auto's especially living in bif cities....

I've emailed the guy but had no response at all.

Could be just the thing I'm looking for, I like a project and learned so much from my previous 3200 ownership that this doesn't scare me at all.

I've already spoken to him (which is how I know it's an auto). If you PM me your email address I can pass on some info if that helps?

MAF I know a good engine rebuilders for the 3200 lump, crank, shells, chains, heads etc, £2k

I am sure they would strip is down and inspect it FOC to see if its scrap.

The shell bearing on the 3200 are silly money!

 

[nigw]

Worth bearing in mind that a rebuild would be the best plan if possible, as a replacement engine will significantly affect the value of the car. A good way to potentially get a cheap car, but taking risk into account, not a money spinner...as Loz says.

 

[conaero]

£7k would be a good price, whip the engine out yourself, send it off for rebuild, drop it back in, all done without a cat for £10k, makes sense to me.

 

[dem maser]

yes that does matt....if you could it yourself and save on costs a very good buy

 

[conaero]

I did it once before with the 3200 when the crank endfloat ruined my Xmas!

I actually enjoyed getting my teeth into a decent project.

 

[conaero]

The hardest part was getting the gearbox linkage off as I was on my back on the floor, it was a right booger!
