Prairie with MOT and an ALL CAPS DESCRIPTION. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/357649156728887

The Misery Machine.

Have we had this one yet? Quite a lot of monies, but I'd almost say worth it in a perverse way. Carpet in the back needs to go in a skip though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116147151482

Misspelt Xsara wagon, £750... actually looks like a decent workhorse for the money. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/7593658884010541

Needs going over with the sparkly stick... £700 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/434020792450071

Possibly decent workhorse for less than £800... probably going to be a bit* slow with that 1.4 pez though. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/440437535149464

Slightly frilly Wagon R+ with no MOT. Complete with the "bowling alley carpet" interior fabric that most 90s cars seemed to have. Another of those vehicles that fell into obscurity fairly quickly... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/791638569514869/

Whenever I see a car with those, I assume they are the arches now, since there's likely sod all left beneath them!

Even comes with an extra bit of protein for the drive home...

Interesting, thanks for clearing that up.... well, in that case it looks like a potentially cheap way into ADO16 ownership!

"Ran when parked, M8" and from a dealer with a somewhat checkered review history. What could possibly go right? I can't help but feel something is a bit off with this one, can't put my finger on it, just feels a bit too cheap perhaps. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202311224181899

Something oddly appealing about these. Although this one also has a-peeling driver's seat. https://www.gumtree.com/p/volvo/volvo-s80-2.4-170-saloon/1476547238

Big mileage MX-6, with an unnerving amount of condensation and no MOT. WCPGW? Also, not a saloon. https://www.gumtree.com/p/mazda/mazda-mx-6-saloon-1993-manual-2.5-v6/1476550590

Pretty clean looking 25... only one owner. Apparently a "Spirit", which is probably what its original owner is by now. https://www.gumtree.com/p/rover/2002-52-rover-25-1.4-spirit-5dr-12-month-mot-37k-low-miles-1-owner/1473797931

A bit worn in places, but seems pretty decent given what rotboxes these can be. https://www.gumtree.com/p/mercedes-benz/mercedes-benz-c180-w202-elegance-petrol-automatic-1995-/1476555571

Hey look, it's a first-gen CR-V that still has its catalyst. https://www.gumtree.com/p/honda/honda-cr-v-2.0i-ls-5dr-auto/1476558560

How brave are we feeling? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126396794558 Fun fact: those things in the rear seat pockets aren't footrests, but prayer kneelers for use during MOT time...

Proper Mr Bean engineering on that boot lock! Guessing the original lock broke, and they had to access it by breaking the rear decor panel...

Yes, that's highly probable. The interesting thing is, it was showing untaxed for a while and then became SORN some time later... likely an admin error, but food for the imagination nevertheless. Anyway, SEATs... I must admit, I never knew there was a Malaga hatchback! Don't ever recall seeing one of those.

If the DVLA is to be believed (and that's a big if), DDF565Y still exists somewhere on a SORN. What state it exists in is another matter, it could well be an unrecognisable pile of corrosion under a hedge. But I'd like to think it's in some old geezer's lockup somewhere...

Had a quick trawl of the internet, few more for you... J125VDU - currently SORN, MOT expired last year. K984PRG - as above. J960HNV - MOT expired last June but not SORNed H24KJH - not MOT'd in a very long time, but SORN. J851LLA - again no MOT, but taxed until the end of this year

The lighting in that photograph makes its headlights look like cartoon eyes. Combined with the bonnet/wings it looks fucking annoyed about something.

I like supercars. Yes, I know it's cool to hate them these days and pretend that a Fiat 127 with corduroy seat covers is preferable, but I like them. Especially 90s ones.

Part of me thinks it's worth the extra outlay for the Capri... just to avoid every BO-reeking pub bore you encounter telling you that Princess Anne had one.

In most normal driving conditions, RWD doesn't make the slightest bit of difference.
