Banger for £250

[TripNip]

Hey all,

Doing a banger rally in June time and me of my team of one other have started to look for a car. Rules are it has to be close to the price of £250-300. Just wondering if anyone knew of any nice ones?

It's only got to last 4 days... To Milan and we want something with a bit of poke as we wouldnt mind winning.

Also... If anyone is interested in joining, let me know.

You know, without screwing myself over in a sale... This is the exact car I've been looking for! We said if we found a good one, we'd have it.
£300 you say... I shall consult my team member and we'll defiantly in contact.

But I don't understand... Surely you need it if your doing the Mongol rally?

I'd vouch for that - I had a white one when they first came out in 1990 (that was the Mk 1 before they introduced the GTi and had to de-tune the GT to make the GTi quicker on paper - different dashboard and tailgate were the main difference and the Mk1 had about extra 10bhp over the Mk2).

The AX GT was at least as quick 0-60 as the Twingo RS - as you say because they weigh less than a wet sparrow, and handling was fantastic. Road tests at the time compared them to the original Mini Cooper.

I had it for nearly 3 years, put 40,000+ miles on it, and the only problem was that they had a weakness for splitting the bottom hose (mine did it twice and second time took the head gasket with it) but apart from that it was an absolute pleasure. I'd have to say the best car I ever had.

TripNip, for £300 you should bite his hand off!!!

Yeah they normally only go through bottom hoses when they are lowered as they rub on the driveshaft. was yours lowered? and only selling it at such a low price cos its a good cause i have it up at £500 atm elsewhere.

No, it was pretty-much bog-standard - the only mod was remote control for central locking/alarm/windows (weren't many had those in 1990!!!).

Both times they went were after long high-speed runs - I used it mainly on motorways with the job I had in those days and I suspect it was just a bit of overheating....
