I would not want to have a house fire in the area served by that fire brigade

The 'Shite Prices' thread really needs rekindling. I've owned five AS-type cars overs the years, all in perfectly good condition, paying £300 to £800. I last bought a car in 2013. Bored of it now but surfing this thread and ebay it seems nigh on impossible to buy anything comparable without going well into four figures. I assume that now the roads are full of identical and anonymous SUVs the retro car has become 'cool' again if anything just to be something different, and obviously they become in shorter supply every year. The super-high pre-2001 road tax is a deterrent though.

Yeah I imagined it'd be a conversion, I've seen plenty of Stagea conversions too, was just vaguely amused that the gear indicator remained.

This is interesting. A manual with dashboard lights that tell you if you're in first gear, second, neutral, reverse or 'D' gear! What's D? I love attention to detail in an advert. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1992-SUBARU-SVX-5-SPEED-MANUAL-ONLY-62860-MILES-FSH/133443921666?hash=item1f11e0a702:g:zNoAAOSw6Qde7dce

Wow, genuinely interested in that! Will probably PM after work. Did you look closely? MOT history is rusty and looks like it's been welded. Manual / engine size?

The bonnet on this looks ridiculous https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-440-GLE-Injection/114290636497?hash=item1a9c40b6d1:g:OqwAAOSwyotfAdBo

BX canal find for £1500!!!!!!!! No logbook or keys but it's a https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-BX-1-9-TGD-H-Reg-1990-RHD-Classic-Restoration-Project-Garage-Barn-Find/193555817160?hash=item2d10d362c8:g:oFQAAOSwzbxfAw1d

Ready to flytip like it's 1993. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1992-ford-transit-tipper-2-5-DI-diesel-new-generation/174319693861?hash=item2896437025:g:A-8AAOSwwxxe3mKR

I quite fancy the smugness of not having to pay for an MOT or car tax. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1979-Volvo-360-2-0-GLS-3dr-Hatchback-Petrol-Manual/124222493642?hash=item1cec3cd3ca:g:XqsAAOSwb8Re~YMr Edit - Advert is FAKE NEWS. It's not actually a 1979 reg.

Just to complicate things - that also has hydropneumatic suspension, you can see the 'lever' which is similar to a Xantia's.

First gen CRX with the super sports engine on Gumtree.

I want to buy that but the numbers don't seem the seller's strong point! 100,000 miles on a timing belt! Someone likes to live on the edge

I'm sure the numberplate has value too
