Is this the last 411 4 door saloon ?

Post by 412 Fasty » 14th May 2012 - 7:58am

Eyup folks,

Bought this old girl yesterday with the foolish idea of thinking it will only need a little bit of work to get on road.....but as usual for me it needs as much as both bugs and camper ive got:(

Soooo its gotta go as its not going to get started this year.

The interior is begging me to save the car, it is absolutely mint! And i mean perfect!

Logged onto how manys left.com and they reckon theres 1 left on sorn.........is this it? Cant recall seeing another on ere.

Any info would be great.

Cheers.

Hi keiron, been watchin your 412 as i also have one. Glad youve got in touch....

Basically i was in my 412 driving down a busy road on a housing estate in sheffield.......a huge yell of fackin ell a 411! Followed by a massive stamp on brakes and a swift knock on door. 24 hours later she was mine ;) no garage or barn find but well good enough for round here!

Really want to keep it, and still in two minds.

Paid too much for it i think but oh well....

I thought these things just didn't happen any more! What's it like underneath? Do the brakes work? FI or carb?
What history does it have?
Hope you didn't pay too much. I paid £500 for my 412 4-door about 5 years ago and it is a miracle that it had an MOT at the time!

The 4-door was more common than the 2-door, but they're all pretty rare now.

Its a fuel injection and it has service history to early 90's!

Underneath isnt too bad, however does require a lot of work. Mainly under heater channel and drivers side strut top.

Would it be a crime to part this car out?

It's not the last 411 4 door as I know of one that drives around in the Canterbury area. And yes it would be a crime to part it out!!
