440 or 460 Turbo / CD

[triumphtoledo]

For once, someone is wanting a 440/460 Turbo with the intention of creating/maintaining a nice car without ripping out its entrails for a Clio/R5!

Anyways, I am hunting for an unmolested series one 440 or 460 Turbo. Like anyone, I would like one in the best condition and lowest mileage for the least money but I am a realist. Basically, I am looking for an easy project car that can be made smart, without the need to embark on a full rebuild.

A recent MoT failure would be fine or a mint car with scabby rear 'arches would be fine, at the right price. However, complete wrecks with trashed running gear, shredded interiors and mileages that makes anyone suspect that the previous owner was Captain J. Kirk need not apply.

My intentions are to keep the car standard and create a very nice "classic" 400 series. I am in no rush for the right car to come along but am keen to hear from anyone who has a suitable car for sale. Contact me on: triumphtoledo@hotmail.com

cheers!

Would you be interested in an auto?

I'm mighty tempted by a nice 240 GLT that I know is on the market so might be looking to rehome my 460 CD Turbo.

mmm, not really interested in the chocolate-strength auto unless the car is both immaculate and very cheap. Mind you, if the car does qualigy, do you have any pics?

The car isn't immaculate but it's basically sound. It has a full service history and has covered around 31,000 miles in its life. I think the MOT is valid until June and it's been a daily runner through the recent bad Yorkshire weather without putting a foot wrong.

It's done about 4,000 miles since I bought it in October and will be due for service shortly. If I keep it, that's likely to be done before the end of March.

I also have some spare relays, trim parts and a pair of new rear shocks.

I'm only thinking of selling because I prefer RWD and fancy a nice 240.

I'll try and sort some pics.
