Rancho -- for restoration posted 16 July 07 1982 Rancho for sale, non-runner laid up for 10 - 12 years in shed. This was a runner on the road till 1992, and I last started the engine in about 96/97, it had an MOT in '92 before it was laid up, I just did not want to let it go at the time. The body work is in good condition, but I don't know what it's like underneath etc. Open to highest bidder £300 plus Email

Two Bagheeras posted 4 Sept 06 The best one is a 1977 S right-hand-drive all complete and running, but is currently stripped for restoration. All the hard work is done, it just needs a small amount of welding and tidying up underneath. All parts are there to put back together except it needs a windscreen. The second car is a left-hand-drive and more or less complete. Was brought as spares to strip it down to assist with the re-build. A quick sale is required as I need the space, so a bargain at £350 the lot. Call Martin on 07711 982752

1.6 Murena 1981 *posted 7 August 06* Red, 12 months MOT from 2nd August, many invoices going back years, new paint, new cyclinder head Just acquired this from a friend who's owned it 11 years. Car is in Braintree area. Price: £1,750, contact Jim Crick on 01371 811100 or

1980 Murena 2.2 [last confirmed 24 July 06] Was owned by Eric Parker in Peterborough, then I purchased it & had a lot of work done by Dick Gilbert. It recently (June) passed the Mot with no problems (it had 2 brand new rear discs & pads just before). It has had a new cyl head, four good tyres, stainless exhaust, & the Matra alloys are good. Good overall mechanical condition, good interior, exterior good but would benefit from work to front bumper & some re-painting in parts to make smart. Mileage, I believe original at 97,000km. Unfortunately now need to sell due to lack of time & space. Contact Mark by email: . Car near Diss which is Suffolk/Norfolk borders & would think £1650 is a very reasonable price for the condition.				(click to enlarge)

Bagheera 'S' LHD [posted 3 August 2005] I was a member of the club up till about 10 years ago, when I took it off the road to do a bit of restoration on it. I put a nearly new engine and reconditioned gearbox in it, which have done hardly any miles since. I started to get some body work done on it, ie a new panel under the windscreen and a bit of plating on the door posts. Then the guy told me it needed new floor panels. At that time i'd just come back from abroad and couldn't afford it. It has been in a shed since, until a month or so ago. Unfortunately a lot of the ancillary bits have started to rust, like the front hatch hinge brackets, and a panel that runs along the front under the grill that the valence attaches to. Presently in South Wales, near Usk. Contact Jane on				(click to enlarge)

Murena 1.6 restoration project [posted 26 April 2004] I won't live long enough to restore all the cars I own, so my much dreamed about Murena 1.6 has got to go! It's an X-plated gold-coloured model, I bought it about 6 years ago from a garage in the south wales valleys. It had been standing minus cylinder head for some years and the bores where corroded. running on a tight budget, I bought a solara unit a fitted it with a light skim & a new gasket saw all four cylinders firing. I haven't really touched it since then. It needs the brakes releasing and then lots of minor sorting out. When I got it running I was suprised that the elec windows and the headlights worked. It would need re-laquering to look its best as that is peeling off. I moved house and drove the car a couple of miles to the new address but un-touched since. Last summer some of the local teenagers decided to remove various bits of trim, most of which i've got. But after I moved it a little to protect it, some idiot threw a stone at the windscreen and managed to put a 6 inch crack in one corner. To many of the club members it's probably in a bad way, but I have to admit I wouldn't really want it to be broken for spares. So I would prefer to pass it on to someone who could fulfil my dreams. I saved it once, now it's someone else's turn. I've no realistic view as to its value, but whatever I get for it will be spent on saving another rare vehicle. I'd even be prepared to take on another project in exchange, but it would ideally have to be a two-wheeled one that I can tuck into my shed where the locals won't pick on it. It's in fair condition inside and has multispoke alloy wheels. Contact PAUL, email or mobile, 07765 404 270 -- before the summer holidays and the kids get bored again. I'm in South Wales, just a few minutes from the M4.
