seth Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Triumph Courier vans really are super rare but that one looks like a heap of work and I reckon is much less desirable as its had an estate conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Also - I'm stumped as to why my home PC continues to use this f**king awful new search format for eBay stuff, whereas my work laptop saw sense last week and reverted to the old style. Can the new style be turned off?PS That R6 was in Practical Classics a wee while ago, no doubt the Renault crowd know Kevin Gould - I don't know him but remember he was featured in a classic car mag a few years back having restored an R10 he bought from an army base for a quid!

wuvvum Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I actually emailed eBay to complain about the new system. they replied saying that it is currently "account specific", meaning that only a certain percentage of accounts are set to use it, and that if you sign out it should revert to the old style. I found that I had to not only sign out but also delete my cookies, but it did then go back to the sensible search mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also that they are going to give buyers 7 days to change their minds!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 SOUND THE ALARM! 1980 Toyota Carina 1600 What a honey!! It has grot problems, more grot problems than I'd want to deal with. Not too far from me either, if anyone is seriously interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Amazing to see an eBay ad' for an old Japanese rear-drive car without 'drift' and 'rwd' being mentioned.It doesn't look too bad, very redeemable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michiel Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 My parents had a red two-door Carina for a while, I think it was the only RWD car they ever had... and the only one my dad ever spun (in the snow). I loved it, but it's long dead now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's been reading R-R and got confused about the old Sunbeam Singer he's got there.Annoying thing is I'd be tempted by cars like that (though perhaps in a worse state) as a source of spares if I had space to dump/strip them.

Jazzy Jeff Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Retarded though that is. Immeasurably and without question. I do however give you something to trump that listing.Oxygen thief of the Week award goes to:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Classic-Datson-Mu ... dZViewItemThe mind boggles.

Guest Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 LOVELY!Any chance you could snoop it out Hirst? Fairly strong dinara for a shonker but interesting if it's just cosmetics.Got his mobile now, I'll ring him tomorrow probably and see about arranging to see it sometime this weekend.Could be interesting this Carina, it is typically the sort of thing the Irish Toyota crew like, but it is arguably the ugliest one you could get and I doubt any will be bothered enough to ship it over. Especially since he's not tried to hide the grot situation.Doesn't seem to be any pattern panels available for it (from a cursory glance), so you'd have to knock up the sill ends yourself. My concern is that pushed-in front wing, might be a sod to straighten that out and I don't think new ones are easily picked up.But on the upside it does look very straight, so we'll see how the viewing goes I guess.

HillmanImp Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Maybe missed something, but where has that ace orange Humber/Minx/Hunter thing (sorry i get muddled with Rootes varients other than Imps) come into this thread?
