  1. Just had a look at your ebay ad, You have not put that it is MOT'd until SEPT 2018 in the description, I would.

     

    Also, Look at this...Albeit Manual....

    GLWTS. If I had seen this sooner I would have been into the both of them.

     

    If the Winning bidder turns out to be an Ebay time wasting arsehole, Put me down as interested in them both.

  2. Well Bought I say, The damage is nothing, leave it & perhaps add a bit of T Cut & it will look like a spiritual successor  to ANY royal mail van.

     

    Seen the state of some of them?  :shock:

     

    That is nothing damage wise in all seriousness, couple of days in a good body shop, sorted.

  3. I’ve heard that too but doubt it. Maybe if you started on it every time for ages.

     

    Past caring now, might just ring the scrappers tomorrow

     

    Sore loss money wise if you bridge it though.

     

    Can you not take a couple of pictures of it & stick it back on bumtree as spares or repairs? £500 or something? I think you would get someone with it, especially as come January...many "new" businesses start up......New years resolutions & all that...

     

    Worth a try.

  4. in 1998, I went from running about in a Black, G Reg, 1.6L MK3 cavalier, to a champagne gold, mk3 2.0i 8v SRi Hatchback, G497 SBU.....

     

    Bought from the salvage auction as a stolen/recovered, Vauxhall's were the car of choice amongst the thieving/joyriding fraternity back then,

    Anyway, a trip to the scrapyard later, full set of locks aquired, then fitted (Surprisingly easy to replace, including the steering lock once you know how)

     

    I then got a Toad (Remember them?) CAT 1 alarm & immobiliser professionally fitted to it, to make sure it did not go missing again.

     

    I felt like the dogs danglies when I had that car, Keep in mind, I was 18 back then, had a well paid job then for an 18 year old (Driving Articulated Dump Trucks, Volvo A25's), No responsibilities, was young & care free...lol.

     

    I even paid the insurance in one go, & smoked about in it for about 2 years. It never once missed a beat.

    I do have pictures of it, but they are in the attic....so will try look them out,

     

    Here is an example picture, other than the colour, it was identical to the one pictured above. 

  5. As a serial Three Pointed Star Fan Boy.....My Suggestion is this...Or one of these beauties. The R129 Mercedes SL.

    Only ever going to go one way in value & that is up, 

    & then, come the summer.....Kerrrrching!...Laugh all the way to the bank

     

     

    Early ones of these are becoming quite sought after now, Orange indicators & the 3,0, 24v Straight 6 engine..Perfect cruiser....   they are also lovely looking cars in my Opinion

     

    Buy now, reap the rewards in the summer.

     

    That is all.

  6. Browsing The Bay of E, I happened to find this.... I personally think that this is very nice & looks proper smart.

     

    It now makes me wish I had hung onto My very,very trusty & not in any way rusty Transit, V946 NOH (Which is still on the road)

    Bought with a broken timing belt for a steal, & back up & running within 4 Hours once back at the ranch....

     

    .Aaaaaaahhh Memories. I will look out pictures of it, as it was a cracker of a van. 

     

     

    These still are superb old vans, & as much as this thread might not be popular, I feel that this particular one deserves a show on here...

    Apologies if this has been posted up elsewhere, I did not see it.

     

    Check this out.....Minted.
