440 1.8 Manual

StockholmSyndrome · Mar 3rd, 2013, 19:22

Okay call it a wasted post but I'm not looking for one right now as my current car still has a months mot left, but once I get a ticket on it and get it sold a 440 will be on the cards. As title looking for a 440 with t+t. I am located in the south west but will travel for the right motor.

Bare me in mind

There's a fairly tidy blue 440 on ebay right now.

I nearly had a punt at it myself, but it's a looooong way from Manchester!

Looks from the pics though to have had some poor paint work done on the passenger rear quarter, or maybe my eyes.

Are you on about this auto in Worcester Steve?
It's green apparently....

doingitsideways · Mar 3rd, 2013, 22:14

Nope!

Ah, just had a look and it's gone.

There's a half decent grey one though in Shropshire, looks quite nice although it's a 2.0.

This is a very tidy 440!

Looks exactly like one we used to have (it's not though).

Even though I have an S40 T4, I want it! so much value for money.

The 440 was the first car I ever drove, it was my mums and I kept reversing it and moving it around our drive at 16 years of age, cracking little car

Ah cr@p, that's the one... Must have been on AT all the time, knew I'd seen it somewhere.

Looks really nice, but check the paint on the passenger rear quarter!

Something a little odd there, seems to be missing some laquer to me?

Does look a cracker! Agreed on that rear 1/4. Some rust treatment methinks. the other side has a nice finish but you can see a rotting arch compared to the lacquerless but rust free passenger side.

Still a nice example. fingers crossed it doesn't sell for a month haha

The bumpers look like they've faded out too!

Poor previous respray?

doingitsideways · Mar 6th, 2013, 23:51

Yeah, I'm maybe thinking it's had a smack at some point?

Hmm...

Shame really, 'cos it's in the best colour for a 440 IMO, and a good spec too.

Went to view an identical 440 Si today. rotting rear arches, damaged interior trim, 101k, no tax, no mot, 4 good tyres, fairly straight body. £495?

No.

Offered him £50 but he said he'd go no lower than £300. As much as I wanted to save it I walked away. The hunt goes on!
