Connie on ebay with a club badge

jontyp · 17th August 2011, 07:15

Saw this Connie on the bay and wondered if it was anyone on here. Seems to have a club badge on the grill.

If it isn't, are there any members prepared to go and have a look for me (for a small remuneration, of course

)? It's in Aberdare (South Wales).

Cheers

Looks nice. It's got a synergy too

What's the mileage?

Or it belonged to a former member, mayhap.

I noticed all the trim mods. I've asked a few questions. Mileage is 145,000

. Obviously don't know about the rad fan or in-tank pump but it has had a new clutch. On the subject of in-tank pumps and rad fans, every car I've been to see so far has had both of these parts failed

. I keep testing the fuel pump by listening for a hum with the ignition in position 2 and nothing. In my old car (which I'm fast realising was a really good one) I could definately hear it (and my hearing is dreadful).

Looks ok but a few to many things stuck to it imho

Yes, it is a bit badge-tastic isn't it. I would hope they'll come off though. What I can't make out is wether it's got walnut trim bits on the mirror switches etc. If so, I would hope they'd come off aswell.

it also has a set of those horrid chineese rear light clusters on it to. Again like the stuck on badges easily removed. A nice enough car lurks under all the clart!!

It does have extra walnut trim on the window switches, reasonably clear in the photos, including chrome trim around the edge as well. Plus the A/C unit and light switch module have the walnut cover too.

There are also the chrome surrounds to the air vents and as the colour match is pretty good (see the A/C panel) then I would suggest it is one of Simon's kits from Bulgaria, further evidence of a club member.

I had Walnut on my Connie (albeit Walnut Dash Company) and really liked it so personal taste. It should come off with a bit of heat from a hairdryer to soften the glue. Although I personally would leave them as I think it a really nice touch.

Wait till you see them in the flesh before deciding I would suggest.

I also noticed it is missing one of the chrome sill strips under the drivers door, so you would need to source one from a breaker as well.

Yep he is still an active member on here, and I have seen this car in the flesh at a meet.

Jonty, I'd better PM you his username, just in case he would prefer to remain incognito, can't imagine why he would but it's common courtesy

Lovely colour and almost as good a reg as mine
