Irmscher Man Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Strange coincidence but we were talking about the Ferguson 4x4 cars at the Midlands area Christmas meal on Friday night and Mark Milsom was waxing lyrical about the Senator conversions that were commisioned by the MOD. Could be a very interesting restoration job....and you get a set of Irmscher Rims to boot! .....I wonder how easily the running gear would transplant onto a Manta.....hmm......

Atlantean Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I thought that car was on it's way over to here — must be another one that was for sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exclusive Opel Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Colour looks like hazel brown and gold metallic , the same as my old mk1 Astra. Even the dash is the same brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuviteer Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I thought that car was on it's way over to here — must be another one that was for sale! Nope, I'm sure that is the same one. Looks like it could be another scammer type of post with mates bidding it up ! Never can tell, espescially when folk think thier pile of metal is worth more than they think !!!?

16VManta Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 There was very good radio 4 program about Brixmis, the recipients of these vehicles. I've got it somewhere if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irmscher Man Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Are you thinking of DPP 117Y Charlie? Judging by the look of some of the other cars in the yard, I would say the guy is into decent old RWD cars - I'm sure there is another Monza/Senator in the background on one of the photos along with the 3 series Beemer. From the wording of the advert, the guy seems very genuine, loads of up front info about how bad the car is and how it will need a ful restoration! Not the trademarks of a scammer but you never can tell! He is local to me, so I wonder whether I should go and have a look......might be a bad move....

16VManta Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 If anyone is interested in hearing about Brixmis, the reason for this car's existence, then I've put the radio 4 program here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
