Description
A genuine Peugeot 106 Quicksilver that deserves saving. These are becoming increasingly difficult to find in original, unmodified condition, and this example has covered just 78,770 miles from new.
I bought the car as the second owner in 2011, and would love to get it back on the road myself, but have realised I don't have the time to take it any further, so it's available for someone looking for a worthwhile restoration.
* 2001 Peugeot 106 Quicksilver.
* 1.4 petrol TU3JP engine.
* 78,770 miles.
* V5 in my name and only one previous owner.
* SORN.
* 2 keys and original handbooks.
* Never modified/lowered/engine swapped.
The car starts, idles well and drives under its own power. I've recently recommissioned it after a period off the road so it can be loaded and moved easily.
Good Points
* Genuine low-mileage Quicksilver.
* Largely original and unmodified.
* Engine runs well.
* Straight body with good Quicksilver trim and interior.
* A great base for restoration rather than another car being broken for parts.
Honest Description / Known Issues
I'm trying to be completely upfront about the work required.
* No MOT and currently SORN.
* Previous MOT advisory for corrosion around the offside seat belt anchorage / floorpan. This area will require welding before returning the car to the road.
* There is a water ingress issue that I haven't fully traced, suspected to be the sunroof. The interior has been cleaned, dried and is currently dry, but the source of the leak will need investigating.
* The brakes are still a little sticky from standing and will need replacing, although the car rolls and drives.
Sale Details
This is a running and driving restoration project, not immediately a ready-to-use daily driver.
The car will need to be collected on a trailer due to being SORN and requiring welding before MOT.
I have Bosch air, fuel, and cabin filters, plus spark plugs I will include.
Happy to answer questions or send additional photos and videos, including a cold start and walk-around.
