Any ideas what you'd like for them as all 4 or as 2. TBH only need 2

Also are those kick plates, or stickers in the door sills, as if they're kick plates I'd be interested in those too.
I'm pretty sure they are stickers as I had a look myself

How bad are your ones are they badly buckled? Useable? Bad tyres?

If not make me an offer and you can always come and swap em over!

Two have slight buckles enough for them to be on the MOT as advisories. When 1 was on the front the car would steer left and feel unbalanced. Looks like a flat spot, I image from kerbing but TBH as they're now at the back I don't really notice it, but itd be nice to have no advisories and it must still affect the refinement.

The tyres are all Runway Enduro, 2 look perished and low on tread, 2 reasonably new. As once the NSF wheel was moved to the back, that means both the perished ones are on the NS. (ie where water loiters in downpours). This brand of tyres has no good reviews, and feels like driving on ice in the wet installing 0% confidence for the press on driver, although thats probably true of lots of budget tyres.

The tyres and wheels are useable though and passed the MOT in Jan having covered less than 1 miles since.

Not looking to pay lots, because I gotta factor in a trip from deepest, darkest Norfolk and I don't drive a 14 year old car from choice In fact I dont drive it at all yet, its still on SORN.

I don't want to take the mickey, so do you have a figure in mind for 2, and for all 4?

Default 940 wentworth for spares

Hi Guys, im just new to this forum, i livve near Lockerbie in South West Scotland (well someones got to) Ive just located and in the process of buying a very clean and tidy 940 Wentworth estate for spares. I need some interior parts, but i'll be making the rest of the car availible to all the members. Spares will be cheapas a favour to members, as long as i get back my original investment less the market value of the spares i need, i'll be happy. I will hopefully have the car this weekend, or the early part of next week, the current owner is having his stereo and dvd players and all other personal stuff removed this weekend, so it really down to him when i get the car. Anyone interested in some parts your welcome to contact me It is i believe an "R" registered car and she is in very good order, but sadly i dont know for sure what is wrong with it making it a spares car, i simply grabbed the cvhance as she was a lovelly car, so will keep you informed.
