Re: Classic for under £10K
I wonder if this will ever get to be a classic for under 10k, it's under 10k new.

Not in BYD's interests to disrupt the European Market where they can sell their vehicles in at more profitable prices than they can in China. By the time the UK Price is announced it will be comparable to other vehicles in the same class.Gibbo2286 wrote: 10 Oct 2023, 19:08 I wonder if this will ever get to be a classic for under 10k, it's under 10k new.![]()

Re: Classic for under £10K
I'm not entirely sure why - and you'd think I'd know better, but the Alfa 164 V6 they've got at the auction appeals to me. Last MOT'd 15th November 2018 and done just under 50 miles since thenNewcastleFalcon wrote: 10 Oct 2023, 18:22 Anyone want to recreate times past with one of these, or to take one on for the "pleasure" of tinkering and fixing.
Is it going to struggle to find a marketProbably.
Nice colour though. No walk round video yet. If you are a potential buyer with a genuine interest in bidding the walkround vids and start up are thorough.

Oh that big Alfa is lovely. Is £1500-£2500 sensible, sounds very very cheap!?

Re: Classic for under £10K
Absolutely B typical!!! I've fancied a 164 ever since I had my Fiat Croma Turbo and never seen a viable one come up!! When it does its got a manual box, most of them were auto!!!

Re: Classic for under £10K
Yes Neil that would indeed solve my issue but at £3k I'd rather use that money to get a better lower mileage auto to be honest!!

I'd love it dearly but my pockets aren't deep enough and my garage is not big enough....

Moving pictures have now arrived for those who want a decent nose around the GSX for 8 minutes 12 seconds, without having to drive all the way to Killingworth to kick the tyres yourself.

If it lives in Killingworth there is a chance that I may have seen it.

Re: Classic for under £10K
Could there be a better bike carrier in the world? MOT, Tax and ULEZ exempt a real head turner! Imagine it with a personal logo on the sides, or even do the rear window conversion and you have a countryman at van prices!!

Re: Classic for under £10K
I missed the comments about the Duck clutch but I've just had a read of it, first thing that hit my eye was 'clutch peddle'
The other thing that came to mind was that I've seen it before on some Austin and Morris cars. It was sort of OK but a bit of a pain and not very successful.
