Title: Re: Thema v6 barn find Post by: chugga boom on 31 May, 2011, 03:49:24 PM its a C reg 1985 uk car series 1
Title: Re: Thema v6 barn find Post by: lee69 on 31 May, 2011, 07:52:50 PM Considering it's history and previous ownership, can this car not be saved by the club if no individual buyer can be found. Same with Beta Pick up if it's in a similar precarious position? Just a thought.
Title: Re: Thema v6 barn find Post by: chugga boom on 31 May, 2011, 08:28:31 PM Pretty sure the pickup has now gone, it looks better in the photos than it is it needs bonnet wings and repairs to the door bottoms however the main structure is excellent, the thema is pretty mint with zero rust however no keys ??? the car is unlocked and has alot of potential , there are spares with it too, its done 103,000 miles but interior and body look more like 40,000 miles, if the club were to buy it i would happily contribute to buying but it would have to move fast, also where to keep it? its a real shame for it to go to a none enthusiast but i think thats what will happen, the owner wants oiro 500 pounds for it but wants to keep the plate when its tested , i think that i could get it for 400 ish though

We are struggling a bit with membership these days, which sadly means that all the hard work of dismantling and storing car parts may be lost just at a time when the cars start to need the weird odds and ends that we have stock piled for so long. I sincerely hope the car gets a good home as the V6 Auto is a hugely underrated version of the Thema and is my favourite (I currently drive a Series 2 V6 Auto imported from Switzerland). |
