🥳 Exciting times! It will be great to see this car back up and running and loved again, even though i've not exactly poured money into saving it myself I do still have a soft spot for it Hopefully many more happy years for it on the road yet

Welcome mate! Your coupe looks in fantastic condition

If i'm considering going to look at or buying a car, I want every bit of information there is about it! You don't sell anything by hiding parts of it, if there's nothing to hide, there's no reason to cover it 🤔

That looks gorgeous! Why do they insist on covering the reg though, can't check the history 🙄

Very glad to see it's gone off to a good home 🙂 Enjoy mate and keep the pictures coming of the work and the trips!

Sad times I'm sorry that I can't buy it and give it a good home, i've got so much on with all the cars at the moment and even though i'm hoping to have more space to store them soon all being well 🤞🤞 Money is still an issue as always, can only afford to look after so many I hope it sells to somebody who will love it and enjoy it

I just don't want their to be hard feelings at the end of it, money can be that way for leaving people feeling sour End of the day i'm not out to make money from the Aerodeck and at that price I know Pete's not out to make money out of the v6, I paid over the odds for that Aerodeck so i'll be losing money regardless on the car 🤷‍♂️ I have spent a considerable amount on a great many upgrades and service items though, to the point where there's very little left needs doing - all of which I can talk you through completely 😁 Best way to do it would probably to just meet up with the cars? I don't mind the trip in the 'deck, the downside being that it's in dry storage until march 1st Mostly i'm picky about MOT history, could even say superstitious. I have a rule not to buy cars with incomplete or messy MOT histories, mostly out of preference more than worry as you can usually figure out what happened to make the inconsistencies - also it's a good deterrent for me wanting to buy every nice car I see 😂 The only car i've bought with an incomplete MOT history was the car that threw its timing belt after 300 miles, KOV. Went against my own personal rule to buy that car and that happened, which since then has just had me double down on that rule. I've seen several v6's among other cars that i've been tempted by since but I always take that as my sign not to go for one, call it crazy but its seemed to be the case that all of them have had gaps or inconsistencies in the history so I made the call not to go for them 🤷‍♂️ Last year my Civic had an MOT cock up as well, which at the time really upset me and still bothers me today even though most people wouldn't care less - it had a double MOT in 2023, passed both times but they were within a month of eachother because one shouldn't have been done. Same with my crown vic, because of me being slow getting around to doing stuff it will now show a failed MOT in 2023 and no subsequent pass until 2024, something which will now forever bother me about it

Are you actually wanting another car to replace it though 🤔 Is it just down to the coupe not being the most practical that you're letting it go? I wouldn't be opposed to negotiating a swap at all, although without trying to sound like a tyre kicker i'm quite picky with what I want from a coupe, just because of having wanted a v6 forever i've got an extensive list of hopes and dreams now 😂 I don't want you to think im being difficult about it and messing you about if I didnt go through with it ☹️

Indeed! If I could shift the newest Aerodeck quickly i'd consider the swap for this, but I doubt I can get anything like what i've spent back and get it sold in time ☹️ A real shame you've got to sell it mate, hopefully it goes to somebody who will continue to take good care and keep it going 🤞

Welcome mate! Many Elysion owners on here now, you're in the right place 😃

Maybe, but he's probably the only one I really watch that would take it on 😕 Plus he's got a decent enough size following that i'd be confident in it finding a new owner to continue looking after and enjoying it, was my main thought 🤔

Watched it last night, a shame that its going for scrap ☹️ It has made me kinda want a shuttle though, love the column shift 😂 Thinking of offering him my green Aerodeck for his trading up series, let him spruce it up a bit and hopefully pass it on to somebody who'd appreciate it and keep using it 🤔

Noo, certainly not as marked units Not the worst replica i've ever seen apart from the daft lights on the front, even looks like the correct lightbar for LAPD 🤔 If you ever want a good gritty TV drama/police procedural to watch about LAPD, give Southland a watch 👍
