| As John is no longer interested in the bullnose, I sent messages to Transit8- and Freewheeler, but haven't heard anything back.
If anyone is still interested in the bullnose, let me know and I'll pass on the details.
Cheers,
Simon |  |

| | Thanks for putting me onto it, I felt the asking price was too much for it as a non runner, however it may be worth what they want if it runs which they did not know, I made an offer but it was not enough, hopefully one of the other guys can do a deal to rescue it, I had to factor in couple of hundred quid to transport from Coventry which just made it too dear | |

| | What were they wanting for it? It dosent matter if its running or not, chances are the crank will need re-building. Nick bought a Bullnose in very bad condition for £400 last year from a dealer. | |

| They want £750, but I reckon a visit to the yard and 30mins of pointing out any faults should see them drop the price a bit.
The car/s are in Coventry, if you're interested send me a PM;

| | Good luck with it Richard, the breakers seem like a decent bunch to speak to and as Richard says if you turn up ready to pay and take it away I am sure they will do a deal, if you give any credence to some of the current asking prices for bullnoses then it could be a real bargain! | |

| | Cash in hand and a trailer waiting..stiff upper lip with a .."i was in the area" attitude and you could drive away with it for £500. I bet they picked it up for £60 so a good profit for them and a result for you. | |

| I 'spose it could be worth a post on the UKsaabs forum? I just wanted to offer it here first.
If no-one gets in touch in the next few days, I'll stick it on there, or it may end up in 'rust in peace' in Practical Classics.

| | I'm actually up that way at the weekend, so I may take a look at it, and the 95 and see if they'll let me 'borrow' any bits off it! | |

| Went to the scrap yard yesterday to take a look . . .
Both cars are now down from the racks, which made it lot easier to check them out.
Firstly the 95;
And now the bullnose;
They admitted the £700 they quoted for the bullnose MAY have been a bit steep, so obviously a bit of room for negotiation, I think they'd be quite keen to get the space back. Any cash offer what its worth in scrap has got to be a good offer!? They mentioned both cars may go on ebay, which is probably the fairest way to assess its market value.
The cars are at Whites Metals Coventry - 02476 301981.
The original photos were taken by Neil Campbell at Practical Classics and he would be very interested to run a story on the restoration of either of these.
Good luck and let me know if anyone buys them.
Cheers,
Simon | |
