A610 on E-bay

[mettersl]

Hello Alpineists- have you spotted this yet?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... Track=true

I spoke to this guy a couple of months ago when it was in Autocar- sounded OK but I did not go and see the car as I live in the South.
Velour interior, A/C did not work then, but had a lot of history. Missing the battery box cover if I remember rightly too.
Anyone know any more?

Can you remember what price it was advertised for?I've tried contacting him but still waiting for a reply only 80 miles from me so hoping to at least have a look

When I spoke to him (March) he was asking 10,500 but was prepared to negotiate downwards.
Car had done just over 100k (from what I remeber) and had been bought from a friend of his. He is a long distrance lorry driver (I think) and spends a lot of time out of the country- so I found the communication sporradic too, but when I spoke to him he seemed open and genuine.
Good luck- sounded worth a trip- I wanted a leather interior, otherwise I would have gone and looked at it.
If you do go and see it, do post what you think!

Going for a look today hopefully,thanks for the info,will let you know what i think and if its mine

Picking it up tommorow,needs a few electrical problems sorted and the odd bubble or three in the paintwork but i was hooked as soon as i seen it,beautiful car if ever i saw one,and i've been wanting one since i was an egg,guy is a bit of an inthusiast with 2 GTA atmos and a turbo,thought I'd arrived in heaven instead of Dumfries,can't stop smiling Think i could be asking one or two questions soon,hope your all a helpfull bunch just need to sell my 21t now

Welcome to the group!!! Watch those speed cameras on you way home tomorrow!

Cheers mate,no photos on the way home(i hope)Ran like a dream on the way home then it decided to cut out every now and again.Idles uneven aswell. Hmmmm this could be fun.Think the search button on the forum could be getting used quite a bit.Just cant keep my eyes of it,its sooooo hot!

I recommend you contact A610GA who knows a thing or two about the electrics on these cars....

Thats now 5 A610's I know of with the same inherant cutting out fault. Whats the problem with it idling? You may want to renew the usuals such as cap, rotor arm, leads, or use my diagnostic unit, as it could be sensor related (coolant and TPS/lambda could be at fault and will cause erratic idle. Ive had to supply a few A610s recently with new coolant sensors because of faults..

You'll have to come to the hillclimb I'm doing at Forrestburn..Alpinist said he'd be there.....informal meet up for those of us north of Birminham!

From cold its a heel toe job,when its up to temp its rough,I'm going to service the engine asap to see if that helps, if not i could try your diagnostic unit

Thanks for the help

Depends when it is mate,would love to see yours in action but i really need to get mines spot on first

July 2nd.....as I said Alpiniste reckons hes there although I doubt his A610 will be on the road as hes sending it to Australia to have the engine refilled with water! (Or was it Germany for a rebuild....cant remember!)
It would be nice to see another Alpine.....my GTA is getting lonely!

Is that Forrestburn,Lanarkshire?If it is I'm sure i could make it
