  1. hey @BorniteIdentity the busted base is back. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/316362448121555/

  3. Another cheap* RWD escort, £3500 for this NOVA present SA import with impressive tide mark and strange sunroof. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/346192684470713/

  6. Thanks for that - seems like it was @wuvvum?
  7. IMHO that textured finish has a more 'OEM Ford' vibe about it and to me personally is preferable to what you had before.
  8. yeah, as long it isn't rotten as a pear underneath, then you can always do something with it given the vast amount of modification support etc that's available.
  9. A new feature? On threads you've started if you hold down on the thread title while in the thread, you can alter the title without actually editing the first post as before....this is cool for long running threads like my Mondeo one.
  10. I'm not in a place to buy a car right now, but I've been reading a bit about the Vauxhall 10/4 'H type' - and really - this is a vehicle I've overlooked before as a sensible* pre-war car. http://vauxpedianet.uk2sitebuilder.com/vauxhall-h---ten-four Let's have a look at those specs: - Monocoque construction - OHV rather than side valve - Hydraulic drum brakes - independent front suspension - only 3 gears, but syncro on 2nd and 3rd - 40mpg in period - Deluxe spec available which adds some nice extras including leather seats etc. - available in a few colours other than black! - they made 42,000 pre-war alone - so they aren't rare. Downsides might be unadventurous styling, I don't know what parts and club support is like. Production carried on after the war so they are available into the 40's as well. I hadn't realised that Vauxhall had produced such a technical 'tour de force' for a small family car. Pre-war Vauxhalls aren't shit? Any views or experience just to further my understanding of the model?
  11. cheap for a Scootacar, a good one is £25k or so.
  12. Nice Ruby for £4.350 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/389247577382937/
  13. For the Wedgister @vulgalour https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/954897472281867/
  14. Do Not Pineapple! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/954616726180356/
  15. If you have the skills, £3k might be worth a go. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/946926910110717/ Pop a 1.6 Zetec inside and put on sensible wheels?
  16. Impossible to tell from the ad, but might be an absolute steal.
  17. Import a Honda 660 from Japan for £11.5k + fees posted. https://carfromjapan.com/cheap-used-honda-s660-2016-for-sale-65f53c01f04c0579670f7cd6
  18. That's gone down in price a bit, I think the same one was £2.5k a week or two ago.
  19. Be like With ya fuzz boz Fox bod. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/707346311311135/
  20. £900, high mile auto. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/422268410282883/
  21. I prefer the fixed head cars (probably in a minority) but wouldn't want the webasto roof, dunno if that was a factory option?
  22. Take your point entirely, but I guess the Cossie cars are getting thin on the ground.
  23. yeah, a Standard 10 is on my life time want list, and this one looks about right - but there's just a bit too much rust to make me think it's going to need professionally sorting - and then it could become a bit over restored, BUT, it did have a clean MOT pass in 2021....so yeah, hard to know without poking it in the flesh, ooh matron.
