somewhatfoolish Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 This is clashing with the shite mecca that is Cannock and the roffle of doom, but are there any shiters likely to attend or go along for a nosy? A few of the entries are making my bidding finger twitch and I'm tempted to travel for a closer look. 27th january Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally, as eni fule no people will automatically pay eleventy % more if you photograph stuff in front of a white surface, especially if the pictures are overexposed and hide the wob and tidemarks. That Bob Empson lot is a field of dreams, though!That Dolly is on the want list for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 You seen the estimate for the TN Acty? I nearly spat my tea out all over the screen, and the Fiat 128, in your fucking dreams sunshine, it's a £500-£1,000 tops as it is as desirable as a dose of herpes puddlethumper and Uncle Jimmy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 It does seem like they've slapped the white room tosser premium onto the estimate, given you could get one just like it from Japan for less than half that without trying very hard.

Uncle Jimmy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 The silver W123 estate is a flipper; I'm fairly sure it was about 4 bags on a sales site a couple of months ago.The Pug 504 cabriolet in RHD is a rare occurrence and will make that sort of money if it's really solid, more if it's the V6. M100 Elan is sensible, Alpine must be fucked with that reserve....what do I know! Estimates seem all over the park to me. I think it's the fact that there's a mix of genuine sellers who want rid of and kite flyers; same as the toxic housingmarket we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Jimmy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Next to that Volvo Amazon I'd suggest the VW bay combi is a good reserve price; they seem to have become hard to offload recently, I've clocked a few good examples at prices that would have been unthinkable a couple of years ago.May be a generational thing, as the fraudulent hippy boomers die off or become too arthritic to do the dub scene the prices tail off, meanwhile the 30 somethings push the prices of Golf GTIs and Corrados up. flat4alfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Perhaps dubbers are realising that type 2s are only of use to masochists and if you want to actually go places without being sent deaf or insane type 4s are more sensible.

Fabergé Greggs Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hmm I’d like the 144 please. Dreamy colour combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Jimmy Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 144s are still something of a bargain; at least in comparison with just about everything else. Fairly easy to upgrade suspension and improve various aspects of the engine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hmm I’d like the 144 please. Dreamy colour combo. Yeah I've got my eye on that. Doesn't it look like it would have the nicest gear change ever?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Greggs Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Yeah it’s a massive part of the appeal. Looks like it would operate on some other mysterious plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Glad we're on the same page about that. I've been fantasising about changing gear in a 144 for a few weeks now. In my limited research it seems some later 140 series cars have a more conventionally placed, stubby lever. These are known as 'shit ones'. Just imagine the sort of satisfying mechanical 'thunk' it makes! I'm gonna have to lie down somewhatfoolish and Fabergé Greggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
