Best nights kip of eVaHLol, wasn't that at the farm where Vanny was based for a while afterwards? One creepy place that was, especially at night. Still the abandoned Mini van growing into the weeds made up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaTom Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Could be a good proj here for someone. But what look to go for?

Spottedlaurel Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Does the garage there still operate, or is it just somewhere he used for storage?There are one or two similar vans I've seen on the road locally, I presume connected with this chap.

wuvvum Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Ludicrously cheap Van Hool coach anyone? Rear-engined so GR1 4 making into a car transporter unfortunately, and unless the DAF 8.25 turbo engine has significantly more go than the Bedford 500 it could take several weeks to drive it home, but it would weigh in for at least five times its current price.

wuvvum Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 This could make a cheap shite hauler, but presumably you'd have to pay the £200 "charge" to be able to drive it out of the LEZ, which spoils its bargain status a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 For one journey you could probably just stick some different reg plates on it, like some with the same number as a Prius or something, then rip em off once you were outside the LEZ!

FredTransit Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Or just don't bother. A friend of a friend has a 7.5 ton merc on an M plate, he lives in Surrey inside the zone. All he's had is 2 letters saying he's been seen in the zone, and next time there will be a fine. He's out in it every week, so god knows how many times it's been seen. From that, I would say it's all a con and a load of scare tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompo Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 ^Insurance group 7? Thats insane for a 1.3 in a car that small. I think Maestros are the same as that.And the KIA Pride 1.3 is 'only' group 5.A bit of a late response here, but it may be a high insurance group because of the full length sunroof. Not exactly difficult to cut through and climb in I'd have thought? One of the reasons soft-tops are more to insure anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yard full of 3-wheelers, an old Sapphire Cosworth being parted out and 2 manky old petrol pumps at 93p a gallon (I wish). Lights are always on and they still keep the key to the Castle ruins apparently. Nearly bought some firewood from him but he leaves it out in the rain so didn't bother. The son is an accomplished rugby player I hear, but don't know the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Got any pics Tom? I'd love to have a look at the Mark4/5 regal behind the van in that picture. Any 3/25-3/30 saloons too, they get me unusually excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayne Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I recently had work done to the front end of the car and had the mechanic “fix†the inner headlights so they do not swivel. This is a practical change as they are very technical and intricate, and the benefits of "swivel" headlights do not outweigh the future maintenance issues.Admit it, they're broken. the car has been off the rd for 10 years now,and the only reason i am selling is to make space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredTransit Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 MOT Expiry: May 2010How old is this listing?? This is a good example of a classic car. It is in need of some TLC, whichI have not had the time to give it due to work commitments. The car was garagedfor 9 years before being put back on the road earlier this year. Some minorbumps and scratches, to be expected for it's age, the worst of which are detailedin the pictures provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
