On the look out...

Post by adiepf » Sat Jul 26, 2014 6:54 pm

Sold my 1996 VVC last march to be more sensible & guess what I can't live without it...

Looking for a trusted seller of a VVC...hoping for as little head problems as poss! :D

Live in Plymouth & as it's a 2nd car only want to spend around £1500 max.

Appreciate any tip offs etc!

Thanks

Adie

When I got it from a friend he was told the head had been done although there was no bills for the work,
all seems to be ok,i would still have it today but a tf came up.i had new stainless coolant pipes done
at a mg garage and they gave it a clean bill of health while it was in there,the roof could do with replacing that was my next job to do,drive it see what you think,i see its still on the forecourt,
