Future classic?

Post by cz214sei »

Hi,

We have a 1994 214SEi 5dr half leather which is perfect apart from a little bubbling on the n/s front arch. It's half nightfire with a grey base. Looks gorgeous.

Has complete history file down to when the wipers were changed! Just changed the cat and clutch, other than that, perfect. HG was done 10,000 miles ago.

I'll try to add a few pics when I get the hang of this, but it's as clean & original as the day it left the showroom in Wiltshire.

Just wish I could keep it safe in the garage though, however that is reserved for my Avenger Tiger which is slightly rarer!!! (and faster!)

Ooh, you wanna watch that - you don't often get away with overheating a K series engine unfortunately.

Yeah kinda guessed that. Oh well, left it to cool naturally and will see if what hapens when I try on Friday. Fingers crossed.

Bloody K Series. I have a 35 year old engine in the other car that I can push & push & push, bomb proof thus far!

That 214 is very clean. You must have cleaned the engine bay too.

The Avenger is lovely of course. I am thinking I might have seen pics of it on the net before actually.

Engine bay is as bought last year from the old fella who owned it previously. The Avenger Tiger is quite a well known car and has been used in a lot of press shots too. Only 15 of the them left on the road and 8 of those live in the same town!
