Which one would you sell, which would you keep?

Have you filled all the barns...?

 

Ooh ok. I have a 77Bay, a 60’s Mini, a merc CLK coupe and an Alfa Romeo 159.

I’d sell the merc.

It’s never worked since the incident with the deep puddle and exiting via the window.

In fact i’ll give it to anyone who wants to fix it.

 

I spent most of my time thinking about cars ! I’ve kept my bay the longest though I do sometimes wonder if I should get something more practical, but I know I will regret it if I sell it , you thinking of selling your bay or the T4 ?

I have that problem

 

I have 4 vehicles, 7 pushbikes...but I still don’t own a car... hate em.

 

It’s so hard, I often fancy a T4 for its practicality, I remember seeing yours at techenders and being jealous thinking it would be so much more practical , only thing that puts me off is if it is Diesel as the government are against them and I need to go into London for Work, I feel your pain

How much would the t4 sell for?

 

I would sell the bay
It’s slow, not very good on fuel, no power steering/ electric windows, cramped, expensive, you never use it and it’s brown.


So bye bye T4

 

As you say, you love the landmark but.it isn't the go-to for camping or travelling. It's a real excess and a bit of a luxury.
The trouble is, it's the love of the vehicle that binds us to the forum and sentimentally reminds us of past fun times...
We have the same dilemma so I feel your internal struggle haha.
Chip has been a massively important part of our lives. No expense has been spared and he's had the best of kit in order to maintain the super reliability we've enjoyed in our trips across the USA and the tens of thousands of miles around Europe since.
However.....we've now discovered the not so beaten track the syncro allows us to travel.
Chip is stored and tbh, is still mint and awesome as we had him out last weekend.
But....decisions, decisions.
Maybe we should open a museum to all those things we can't get rid of Alex?
I could probably fill half of it...

 

I've done a lot of thinking over the past few weeks and decided over Christmas that I don't need loads of old things. I have my daily and my Bay, I also own half a bay which I have just acquired with my son in law to restore and then him and my daughter can use it - they're keepers.

I've had a Hillman Imp for a few years which I've slowly been restoring b ut to be honest I'm never going to finish it or enjoy it when it's done, so I sold it and it's gone. Oh the relief, it's like a great big monkeys' gone from my shoulder.

I've also got some old 70's motorbikes and a modernish bike. I used to love the old bikes until I got the Bandit, now hen I ride an old bike it's slow, uncomfortable, doesn't stop, unreliable and generally feels unsafe. So they're all going this year! I shall use the cash to buy a new(ish) Triumph T120 that'll tick every box.

I've also been clearing out all stuff that I don't use and putting the money into something that'll give me pleasure. It's a great feeling

 

You need a good reason , then you can sell without gilt

 

Good solution. Get @pkrboo Matt and Nick to fit a Scooby to the landy and retro fit a decent bed.
Sell the t4 to fund it.
A fixed bed like we have in Big G would allow the use as a plumbers van when required...
