me my brother mark and his mate deano paid a third each on a 33 1.7 ie and got it on ebay for £70 and it is mint ,me and mark are having the engine and box and running gear to change our sud tix to 33 running gear
plus 1.7 engine and as deano has a earlier 33 that is a bit rusty with uprated engine and suspension he is going to put the suspension and engine into the later shape 33.
all im going to say ebay sometimes has a bargain keep looking even thought we had to go to southampton.
i have had a look round the 33 and there is no rust anywhere . Very Happy

i think hes going to keep the carbs on the engine when he puts it in the newer 33 .
p.s as i got the 33 cheap and the title to this thread is not meant to be disrespectful to the 33s as i know i got lucky with that cars price and a mint 33 with mot and tax still fetch good money as they are nice cars as i have had a few in the past.
if i had the space i would love another 1.7 veloce 33 that was the bset one i have owned in metallic grey alan will tell you it was a nice car.(i miss it Crying or Very sad

).

That yellow 33 was built by Lloyd at clovertech...

It's an S2 with mk 1 door trims and dials, the leather seats are out of a 145 i think.

Still had a scary 1.8 lump in it when it was on ebay a few weeks back, is that what's going in to the red S3? definately gonna need a sympathetic MOT centre for that one if so! Laughing

Is it destined for the scrapyard once the engine and suspension are stripped?

To my knowledge the police here dont test car emissions, they check trucks for red diesel, overweight etc, but cars, not that ive heard.

It depends where you are. I tried to find out where so I could get a free test before my last mot, but I couldn’t find out. I think it would be a great idea for all the environmentalists and pre mot tester vehicles.
Then I read that a fixed penalty may be issued, which I thought was a bit unfair, but they got to fund it somehow, you should get 2 weeks to get it fixed, I think.

We should all convert to lpg.
