£350 75 with lots of very nice bits

FrazzleTC · 10th January 2014, 17:17

The noisy engine could be all manner of things, perhaps just a manifold. If I'd not just taken on the 800, I'd have been buying this, given how cheap it is, with that spec. My idea would have been to buy it with the aim of repairing, and if that wasn't possible, to transfer the towbar, wheels, steering wheel and gear knob onto my own 75, as well as any other spares which might be of use. A huge number of desirable parts for the money.

Let's hope it's of use to someone on here!

As said could just be inlet manifold rattle although the last noisy V6 I had blew a big end through the sump.

Well worth the money for the parts if it is too much to fix.

Ive been keeping an eye on this as it was £690 but then went down and finally its this price. The only reason i didnt want it was because its a manual and 75s to me should be auto.

Unless i've missed something he's asking £350 p/x considered at top of listing but at end of listing has £690 p/x considered.

It started out at around £800, a while back, then came down to £690 for a while, and has just recently been reduced to £350 as this engine noise has emerged.

I expect he has relisted it at the lower price but not changed the advert.

And it is sitting on serpents so it will be worth buying just for the wheels,if it was nearer to Norfolk I would have it
