such a shame ....

[Mr.Sumo]

..that the owner of these 2 is a **** ! Hes got another van in his workshop , and enough spares for OSF"s to retire a rich man ... but wouldn"t even sell me a top hose for the Escy

 

The Corsair is a geninue 1 owner from new...with mega low miles

tight

What a bummer!!!

There's plenty of hoarders out there who don't like giving up spares, what can you do

at the end of the day its his property, you wouldnt dream of asking him to flog you the telly in his loft he dosent use anymore then get p!ssed of when he refuses. however i agree its frustrating, especially when these things are left to rot when the owner has no intention of doing anything with them.

i agree totally with what you are saying m8 , if he wants to sell it to me then fine , can"t force him , just p*ssed me off cos i knew he had one at least , and was standing there watching the water getting blown over my engine ! Just frustration from me i suppose .... and as for the cars , well , he would sell the Corsair...if you gave him £4500

blimey 4500 sheets!!

 

its worth keeping on at these ppl so they get si p!ssed off they give in! my mate did that for a couple of years and walked away with a 2 door 1300xl for 200 quid when the old boy gave up driving

It can be frustrating but as has been said before the parts/cars are these people's property. On the many occasions I have knocked on doors, my success rate has been 50/50. Nowadays, I leave my number then call back a month or two later if the car is still there. After that, I move on. These days you can't really offer buttons either, but if I am asked the old chestnut "make me an offer" I take a leaf out of my mate Kev's book and reply "£50"......... Stupid question. A person knows what they want, end of! Rant over......
