Mark Seniac Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 JUST A THOUGHT 🤨 Has anyone swapped their CLASSIC ? Did you swap UP 🚗 🆙 ⬆️ OR Did you swap down 🚜 ⬇️ Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 I swapped , it turned down as the person had neglected to tell me the power stearing was leaking (subframe out job) and gearbox mount was about to go! As we met half way between where we lived and short test drives in each it was a bit late by the time i found out. I would do another swap but a very good look over the car i was getting. Have swapped a motorcycle for a car before with no problem, that time though we worked together and both knew the vehicle's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 I had toyed with the idea - and maybe still do - of swapping my GT6 for a good Vitesse convertible, but there weren't any near me and the logistics of travelling and viewing just seemed like too much bother. It would be a long drawn out process! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark powell Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Nearest I've done to this was swapping a Series land Rover truck top for a Safari top. We both got the tops we wanted... Safari for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Trust, both happy before and after are the key points. Swapped labour for a tr7, both happy with the deal Swapped dt175mx for a mk1 fiesta (some cash my way). Both happy Those were with people i knew. Swapped a Mgf vv for a rover v6 75 lpg. Got what i needed (5 seat car ) but had to sort a few suspension/ power stearing problems, so came out worse on the deal, did not know the guy and lived opposite ends of country. Different forum and surprise he left that quickly after! Would swap again if the deal was right but definitely learned some lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
