I don't bother posting here any more but what a load of bollocks. That will sell for a grand plus all day long no matter what is wrong with it. The brakes are not some amazing mystical thing just citroen inspired and really not hard. Just fix them properly and forget fitting other parts these fuckers weigh 2 and a half ton and have 4 calipers on the front alone.  The list on the rear is likely to be rear trailing arms rotting through which you can get repair parts for. They do have the ability to suck up large amounts of cash if you have to pay "specialists" Try the Aussie RR clubs as they have lists for alternative cheaper parts that just tends not to be available in the uk. They are lovely old things and well worth owning one just once. Ignore all the idiots grow some balls and get it bought

My ex ice cream van CF

That 17 has been sitting outside in that yard for at least 10 years. It has been moved around a bit though as the last few times I have been past I didn't spot it. The lane it is on is easy enough to get a trailer down but I would be surprised if they would sell it at a sensible price and even more surprised if it was saveable.

Paint it gold and pretend it had a new engine back in the 80's

The latest trio of bikes from France have been unpacked and now all on ebay. Prices are pretty high as I really want to get as much as possible for them, but if you are in no rush feel free to make insulting offers.

3 bikes a big cool box and camping gear can all fit in the back of the 806. I had to remove some foot pegs plus the front wheel and handle bars on the DR

The CB125 twin I am probably way too high with the price but you have to try.

The 125DR the engine is probably toast but it has really good bodywork.

Finally the Solex this one actually runs and rides. They are well advanced for their day with shaft drive and a rear disc brake

Like I say they are priced high but I am open to offers, they are up for sale for a month then the prices will drop right down if they are still here. I will say that if I get the asking for all 3 then I will see a small profit on what it has cost to go over and buy them before anyone wonders what a brilliant money making scheme it is.

This guy is pretty deluded as he had it up for less than 10k with no takers, so what does he do ? Yeap re-list with a bit of bullshit for 50k !!!!!!!! I don't care if it was the last Corvair on earth but that is no 50k's worth maybe it is a mistake and he meant 5 which is possible on a good day.

Just thought I would dig this thread back up as I am thinking about going again this April if I can find a decent hotel for a sensible price.

I imported this Renault 5 pick up from France some years ago but had to sell it when I moved. It did reappear a couple of years ago but had been cut up into a trailer which was a shame as it was a proper French conversion.

I also had a very rare Renault 4 F4 that was converted in the UK by a bloke from Bridgwater. He built quite a few back in the 70's/80's and having now met him reckons he might still have all the tooling etc to build them again.
Finally there was my Hotchkiss which was modified in France then further work was done when I got it here including the Harvey Frost.

Yay welcome to the club My 806 is an HDI and even with 259,000 miles will still crack a ton easily. It also does over 40 to the gallon and you can get 3 French motorbikes in the back. They are great workhorses and I love mine.

It has more to do with insurance than them wanting to do the work. Mine would at least double if I want to weld customers cars. As cars are somewhat more rust resistant now there really isn't the call for it to make it worthwhile.

I would not necessarily say so.

They only did well at rallying once you'd changed almost everything about them though. Put a completely different engine, drivetrain, fuel system, suspension, wheels, tyres, and brakes in them and people say WOW ARNT ESCORTS GREAT RALLY CARS!
