I knew they would.  And I don't see why they shouldn't, when Minis are up in the trees.

 

In fact I've been surprised values and interest have been suppressed for so long.  I almost bought a 1st year miniMetro in that Apple Green for investment (and fun) ideas but thought better of it

£500 Vauxhall Corsa.... bicycle?!??!!?

 

"This is a converted vehicle, an original Vauxhall Corsa which has been altered to be human powered"

Pretty standard alteration

 

"This is a bit of an odd vehicle."

Really.

 

"The original builder of this has put a lot of thought into it."

Debatable.

 

 

"The speedo is a bike computer from Halfords."

 

"The drivers window is a bit sticky, but I've loosened it up so it now nearly closes."

nearly

 

"There is no sunroof, just a hole in the roof"

 

"There's no keys, but do you really need keys for a car that has a hole where the sunroof used to be. Besides, who would want to steal it? "

You raise a fair point, man asking for £500 for a Vauxhall Corsa shell glued to a bike....

“Lead acid battery”. Nice to see some sound engineering and thinking has gone into making this as lightweight as possible.

this might just catch on you know.

 

Rather that buy a terminally rusty late 1980s Range Rover why not save yourself a world of pain and just buy the V5.

 

Range Rover Classic 1988 chassis & v5, chassis is scrap & now gone

How could he have the nerve to do this?! Can one let the DVLA know its been scrapped without the actual V5?

 

Makes my blood boil... :angry:

A C140 S-Class coupe is very high on my want list, especially in black (two tone black/dark grey would be even better). But 29k for one is a bit excessive... Especially with clear swirl marks in the paint and a bodged back box...

Would you rather have 1300 British Pounds Sterling...…

 

 

or would you rather have a Ford Transit Luton that has been painted with a paint brush/roller in a green/black combo???

Owner has updated the description with one of the longest MOT failure lists I have ever seen... maybe I've not seen enough but seriously... in that condition wouldn't you know not to bother???

Highlight of it is the tester trying to give the owner a hint to scrap it in the failure criteria:

 

"Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded Inner wing wheel arch to out rigger to step. Full of filler and news paper too! (2.4.A.3)"

Escort Mk3 RS1600i with 97500 miles for under £2k.

 

Oh, wait a minute . . .

It has one more MOT fail on record than my Rover;

 

Date tested
19 June 2014
FAIL
Mileage
1,915 miles
MOT test number
6764 7067 4157
Test location
unavailable until further notice
Reason(s) for failure
Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content excessive (7.3.B.1b)
 
That makes the Ronda worth at least £130k shirley
