Afternoon all,
Just signed up today, name is Gavin and I stay near Glasgow.
Having always wanted my own Classic one day and with the imminent winter heading our way I've been looking for something to tackle the snow.
I own a car sales business and was contacted by a customer who had for sale, none other than a Suzuki Baleno!
After arriving to view the Suzuki, the customer owned 2 P38s and a Classic. The conversation never lasted long on the Suzuki and before long we had done a deal on the Classic.
It's a 94 Vogue SE Auto 300tdi, 2 owners from new. Gerry had owned the car since around 1996 and coincidently I had worked in his pub around this time! Small world.
Anyway, we finally got her going as the battery was completely dead. She has not been on the road since 2006.
Took her for 2 hand washes then straight in for MOT check.
It's drives amazingly well considering its not been driven in 5 years.
Few issues so far, drivers electric seat and window don't work, drivers exterior door handles a bit tight, rear bumper bar and rear end caps need replaced, front fogs smashed and dent in the passenger door from a genteman Gerry ejected from his pub back in the 1990s :crybaby2: `)
Supposedly I should have remember this incident happening haha.
Part of the deal was I return him his tires but I think id prefer plain black.
Few bits of paint needing done but nothing that is anything difficult.
Here's the snaps
