Electric Green 6N 1.4 Polo

Featured Replies

Right guys, in a bit of a situation so looking to swap my 6N for another 6N basically!

Spec...

1996 'N' 1.4 8v

Resprayed in Electric Green (original colour, never seen another before!)

Brock B2 15x7.5 Alloys

Fairly new 195/45/15 tyres all round

Lowered on Jamex coilovers

16v rear bumper

Smoothed 16v front bumper

16v rear lights

Clear front indicators & smoked side repeaters

Dewipered at rear

Door mouldings removed, smoothed

6N2 aero wipers

Momo gear knob & alcantara gaiter

Pressed plates

MOT until June

Tax until March

Few parts to come with car, such as brand new discs and greenstuff pads, not yet fitted!

So why a swap? Well, car has been running absolutely sweet, have just gone to start it not long ago, and it won't start. It ticks over, starter motor works etc, mechanic over the road thinks cambelt has snapped at the bottom (he hasn't looked at it yet, but he suspects this from my explanation), since it was absolutely fine when I drove it earlier today, but now all of a sudden won't start.

Problem for me is that I lirerally have no money, so am looking for a swap with any standard 1.4 or 1.0 6N just to get me to work, I work about 30 miles away but its in the middle of nowhere (no public transport).

I know I could wait a while to fit a new cambelt or sell all the mods/parts, but I don't have time and I need to get to work. Hence, I thought I would see if anyone has another 6N as a spare run around, to swap for mine. New cambelt and it' a fantastic little car, looks sweet and ran sweet otherwise.

I would be making a loss by swapping for another standard 6N, but I simply don't have a choice unfortunately!! If time and money were on my side, I'd repair it as a new cambelt isn't that expensive and I have a mechanic mate who would fit it, and I am going to miss it! But getting to work takes priority, so I need anything that moves really! Only reason I ask for another 1.4 6N is so I don't have any change in insurance prices...

So if anybody is interested in a swap, PM me with what you've got! I am in Portsmouth and need something pretty quick!!

I will post a pic up in a sec...

Right guys, no longer up for swaps!! Sorry to the people who have PM'd me about it, but I have managed to sort out some funds with my employers, pay them back over a few months sort of thing. So looks like it will be back on the road pretty soon hopefully! Well happy :-)

Hi mate, yeah I am up in Abbeydore Road. I met a guy up the hill who has a red 6N, he lives in Wymering. What car you got, don't think I've seen you about?

Yeah I haven't seen any others in this colour, and as you say, looks amazing, especially when the sun shines!
