Help a fellow retro rider get a retro back in the fleet and his house renovation.
Looking for either a Rascal (or one of it's many variants) or possibly a lada estate for duties whilst renovating the house I am buying to the be hard slammed and played with if not already slammed.
Got a £300 budget which I know is low but may strtceh it a little further for the right hauler.
;D

I would be sorely tempted if i could find it. It don't need much resurecting does it? Someone must want to sell me their Rascal (mystery Machine)  |

It needs an MOT, and I know a garage that would do it. (would mean dragging it to essex though.)
I'll get the details if you want.

If i could see some pics of it preferably now would be great ;D
MOT is not a problem if i can get it up to the midlands, got a man that can if it's only because of ride height.
Some more details would be fantastic. ;D

The last person that had it was markr on here and he sold it to someone in lincoln. If you pm him I'm sure he'll help. This is the ad from the last time it was sold.. cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170323267736I've not heard about it for a while, so its bound to be lurking in a shed somewhere. |

Someone must want to sell me their Rascal (mystery Machine) not a hope in hell is my guess ;D ;D he has got me wanting one as well now Yeah and no thanks to your epic skillz the chances of me ever selling it are getting less & less  Rodit, to be honest, Rascal's fetch crazy money these days. MOT failures with lots of rust & blown head gaskets fetching £300+!! Mine has been described as "one of the tidiest" by someone 'in the know' but even that doesn't stop it from needing a fair bit of TLC. You'd be hard pushed to find a 'worthy' one for less than £600-£800. (they are easy to hide/disguise a multitude of rust as we found out today!!!!  Luckily for me Grunty was on hand to make good the previous 'repairs' into something far more solid) Rascal's are fantastic vehicles full of character but you need to be careful that you don't nd up with one that is more brown powder than steel under that paint. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but today I witnessed first hand how a 5mm spot of surface rust hid am 8" square mass of rotten strutctural support beneath it!! Thanks again for all your help today Alan - I'll update the Rascal thread when I get chance to upload the photos..... |
