Fermanta Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Hi lads, yMy brother has sold his Mk1 Escort & is looking for a Chevette or Kadett. He has seen this on Ebay (as well as various other sites) and is keen. I'm not sure & have a gut feeling it may not be great. Anyone know it or anything about it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-CHEVETTE-1700-LONG-T-T-MINT-SHELL-EXPENSIVE-XFLOW-ENGINE-/130685115682?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1e6d709d22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druid Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) The seller says he has loads of photos of the recomissioning work - I'd ask him to email me some if I were buying it. I would not advocate buying blind off eBay though, so for me it would be a case of viewing the car first. When I was viewing Mantas I asked if the vendor would allow a ramp inspection and I arranged to take the car to a local garage with a ramp. Bunged the garage owner a fiver and got to see exactly what I was buying bodywise. I gotta say that the car looks the dogs in the ebay ad though! Let us know if your brother buys it.

StevieH Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Make sure you go to look as these chevette's are prone to rust . Trust me i have 2 they all tend to go in the same areas too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big B i200 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) I thought Jock might know the car but didnt want to presume and mention him directly. Good luck it looks a cracker. Edited April 23, 2012 by Big B i200 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
