What court case? confused:

Is the 2nd hand car market for rhd cars bouyant out there then? eeek:

All cars are rhd ...........and yes 2nd hand cars are bleeding  expensive ............even a scrapper is worth a grand here ........

Could this be a possible solution for the disposal of this fine condition  but seemingly unwanted unloved 1991 Citroen ZX 1.4 with virtually full service history with a jumpy 2nd gear and fitted (currently) swimming pool in the n/s/f footwell?
If it's going to be worth a decent amount, I wouldn't hesitate driving it out there.
I can feel problems lurking with importing red tape nonsense though. whistle:

Duty under 1.6 is minimal ..........or you (someone) can drive it for a year on uk plates ...........

Most cars here are imported .......and if second hand ...ringers!

Oh, 'MeMi. How's she doing? cloud9:
 Done many shows yet? The last I read about her she was looking well on the road to stardom.
Has she won many class awards then, and did you finally get a rear bumper sourced?

Slightly long distance for a ...."larf"....IF you don't mind me saying so like. whistle:

Seriously, is there a good market for this unwanted car of mine out there?
It'd cost quite a bit in fuel and ferry costs no doubt, but a £150 maximum bid here in rip off Britain is a total no brainer. Get that from the scrappy tbh.
I need to clear at  approx £325-£350 to cover what it's cost me in  fuel so far,and mot/repairs/welding to even break even ::)

Has that ferry from ...can't remember now...opened up now btw?

Well... I got the bumper!

Apart from that not too much has happened... gearbox all re-built, looks lovely... engine is being re-built at the moment... body is still languishing in the paint shop but I'm promised the end of this month...

I'm not really sure on values... have a look here.

As for the ferry, I don't think there is a RO-RO at the moment, you have to drive to Piraus and stick it on a ship as freight from there...

It was white with a black roof but I don't think that was original (and a black roof isn't ideal for the weather here) so it is going to be all-white.

The real delay has been the bodywork guy... he quoted 4 moths to do the job - that was a year ago... I've got all the other stuff here waiting to be bolted onto it...

I got the Rostyles powder coated - they look sweet...

Anyways, I had a look at the Cyprus Autotrader and it didn't actually give me much idea tbh.
No ZX's for sale, and only 6 Citroens in total. eeek:

Do you have a local Cypriot Crap Cars pitch locally that might be interested?
 
Go and 'ave a werd with them for me and see if they're interested, there's a luv, tar. ;)
If successful, I could bring special Growler CAKE ( NOT Sainsburys  ::) ) and home made Brocolli with us as a reward like. cloud9:
