[Khamsin433]

Hey Frank,

Fancy a Merak for 7K?

.....not today Bal...got this lancia to start in Late April...................


7K Merak translates into 50K rebuild.....!!!


Worth 35K after.....

[Khamsin433]

That sounds about right, and only if it's the right model (i.e. a late one)

Which Lancia have you got dude?

 

[Parisien]

But if not rotted as he says.........could get away with a 30K engine/ suspension/brakes etc rebuild.....................

Wow,

That is one car, has great engineering I've been told. I'll keep an eye on your progress be well worth watching.

They don't give much away in the advert...Wonder whats wrong with it.........NOt too far from me I think...

 

[Khamsin433]

Yeah, no info what so ever, makes the spider senses tingle doesn't it.

Tried to send an "Ask a Question" and it started wanting phone numbers not seen that before on Ebay so I cancelled.
They could have put info on such as year, model, miles history etc.

Could be genuine in which case if someone is near and can look it may make a bargain buy, you never know there may still be one out there.

 

[Andyk]

It did make me sit up........Not the nicest area mind you..Miskin........

 

[Khamsin433]

Yeah I went up that neck of the woods once whilst studying (read into that getting Pi$$ed) at the Poly of Wales in Pontypridd, but don't remember it much.

Strange things turn up all over the place, let's keep an eye on the auction and see what happens.

Looking at it I don't think it's a late one as it hasn't got the Bora vents in the bonnet, but can't tell much else and I'm not giving any numbers out.

 

[Andyk]

Picture doesn't tell much but it doesn't look like its falling apart.......Interesting.

I have contacted the vendor and he is going to send me some photos and more detail so I will post them on here.

Its not far from Llandow so might go take a butchers at it myself on the way back.

Had a passenger ride in a Merak once - great experience.

 

[Parisien]

Used to be a guy in the Dublin area .....who almost used his as a daily driver........

Be interesting to know more

[conaero]

Could do Andy, if I get all done at Dick Lovetts early, we could nip up there.

Mind you, he still has not answered my email for more pics and info the guy is obviously not keen to sell, or a scammer possibly???

 

[conaero]

....just emailed him again, see if I get any joy.

Tells you absolutely nothing about the car. It could be a Left Hooker?
