If the dial goes straight to overheating then I'd have thought it's either a duff or shorted temp sensor or wiring ?

Yes I think so too bobins, but I wouldn't buy anything off someone with that apparent attitude, not to mention lack of product knowledge of his wares!!

[mickthemaverick]

Any takers?

A really nice car in its day Mick I took one part exchange in Hereford back in the fifties when I worked for a Birmingham dealer, the only problem we found was the battery box, in the boot, had the bottom rotted out, That's a Brum car by the reg number.
The bodies were built by Briggs motor bodies, Ford took over Briggs and declined to build the bodies for Jowett leading to their demise.

Here's a pretty rare very low mileage Frenchy which has too many pedals for me!!

Nice car but 46 years five owners, 7000 miles, why?
First worry would be all the rubber bits, it's clearly had new tyres, they probably fell apart with age but what about all the other rubber stuff, hoses etc?

Interestingly on looking at the Renault listing again I notice it is from the same seller as the XM estate I posted above. He declares himself a 'hobbyist' as far as cars are concerned but responds to inquiries in a similarly rude manner to his answers to me. Avoid at all costs I'd say!!

Ha ha, ask if he knows how the temperature gauge works on this one! or indeed if the comprehensive inspection he's done goes as far as "bother to look in the boot"
(The XM had a question about it's LPG system "is the tank in the boot?" Basically "I'll have a look to see" was the reply!)

It says HPI checked that cost more than it's worth.

I want the chickens that were nesting in there as well. It's the only thing that gives it any value!

[mickthemaverick]

Harsh Paul! I thought the dustbin lid and the steering wheel between them should raise a tenner surely?

If I could live with a clutch I'd be seriously tempted with this:

Although I'm not sure James May's interpretation of Convertible is quite what Triumph had in mind:

My youngest daughter would love that!

Not the upkeep though.
