As an Autoshiter you probably love the sound of a rattly OHV Engine, pulling out the manual choke in the morning, getting up to speed in fourth and going to change gear and realising that is all you have! Well that dream can be yours in the form of this Radiant Red beauty which even has most of its wheel arches intact. It includes special anti theft door locks, entry is only available through he passenger door, the boot is only accessible via leaning over the rear seat! in all seriousness I bought this car as stop gap car in July 2013, my mother had a series of hospital appointments pending and the black Maxi I had was not reliable so I purchased this on e-bay from a back street garage in Wolverhampton. It has surprised me, my last experience of Fiesta ownership was also a 1.1 Popular Plus but a tired 12 year old W reg which had obviously been boy racered as it was knackered, plus was very noisy and not very comfortable. This is a lot better being comfortable, pretty roomy, and not that noisy even with only 4 gears, certainly up to 60. I did a round trip from Stourbridge to Chatham in it late last year which is quite a journey in one go and it didn't miss a beat and was a surprisingly pleasant vehicle to travel in. The engine seems to be in good working order although I will need a service. The body is pretty good, it has been welded in the past although the last MOT it didn't need any, the rear arches I think have had some work but look good with a couple of blisters coming up. There is a strange patch on the drivers door where the paint has cracked and is blistered a little and the bonnet has quite a bit of rust on the front edge. The interior is pretty good although the drivers seat fabric has come loose. I was going to keep it and use it alongside the Princess until Torstens old Horizon turned up on e-bay. It has MOT till August and tax till the end of July. It will need a set of door locks or them repaired, both are available on ebay and the brake light switch is held down by blu-tac. And as I said it really needs a service. It has had a new battery and alternator. I have it advertised for £400 but there would be an autishiters discount. Stupidly (as I need the money) I would be open to swap but it would really have to be something pre 1990 and in the lower tax band which I can't imagine there is anyone on here that desperate to own a mark 3 Fiesta. Let me know if you are interested. Some pictures below:

Nothing to see here....now sold, move along.

Mrs Danterzza is probably having a new car if after "thinking about it" Anyhow her trusted Yaris is for sale. 2002 1.0 colour collection. Mot April 15 Tax June 14 118k She is the 2nd owner and has had it since 40k. One careful lady owner etc etc Looks good hey!!!! WRONG!!!! It was involved in an accident many moons ago and was repaired by stevie wonders one armed slightly retarded brother who was at the u13's school of painters, drivers side was flashed in a few years ago and is starting to bubble up, not rust, just shit painting skills. Front bumper is heavily stone chipped. Underbonnet repairs not upto Rolls Royce standard. i.e plastic welded washer bottle. Once warm its a little rattly (timing chain) but has been since 40k and its now on 118k. It had a replacement gearbox 2011 due to an EXPLOSION of the old one. its got four good tyres, a mint interior with cd player, new discs and pads on the front new clutch when it had the gearbox, does 46 mpg easily all day every day, plenty of oil and filters changes plenty of air filters, plugs etc etc. Slight rear wheel bearing whine. Does look ace from 10 feet, its helped us move house twice, been cornwall many times, never ever felt to proceed even when the gearbox decided to stop functioning correctly it soldiered on. Still in use daily by my missus. How does £500 sound???????????

Yes, it's time to say goodbye. I wasn't expecting to move it on so soon - frankly, it's a superb car and I love driving it, but it's not being used enough and storage is becoming an issue so it's up for grabs despite the fact that writing this feels a bit wrong. It's a rare Rover 220SLi in white/grey with electric front windows, electric sunroof and electric door mirrors. It's taxed until October and MOT'd until November. 138k on the clock although the engine is not the original and has done closer to 190k but has had a rebuilt gearbox and complete new gasket set back in 2009. Good Points: * The engine starts first time, is strong and powerful and runs very well - around 40MPG is possible if you drive gently. It's a fantastic long distance cruiser. * Almost everything electrical works including the electric sunroof (no leaks either) and the alarm - the one exception being the driver's door central locking which only works on the key. The previously weak and undersized battery has been replaced with a correctly sized one which seems to be in perfect health. * It has 4 excellent tyres on it, the front Dunlops are quite new * It has a brand new waterpump and radiator so no leaks and it runs nice and cool (fresh coolant too) * It had a brand new windscreen in September * It has a towbar with working electrics * I serviced it a couple of months ago with new oil, filters and spark plugs plus front brake pads Bad Points: * The bodywork's cosmetically challenged. Not much surface rust now but the paint is shabby and my rattle-can repair jobs are not particularly good plus the passenger door mirror is a slight colour mismatch. From 10 feet away it looks presentable * The rear bumper has a big hole in it to accomodate the towbar, I've grown to like this though, it's part of the car's character * It's a 2.0 T-series so leaks oil. Not a great deal but the engine block is coated in it and it does use a little bit. It's also blowing a bit of condensation sometimes from the exhaust but no idea if that's actually a problem. No signs of HGF. * One mismatched hubcap! * The steering is a little vague and floaty - there doesn't seem to be any play between the steering wheel and the front wheels but the MOT tester commented that the rack could be worn. Tracking has been tested and is perfect. It became a lot more evident after the new tyres were fitted. * The boot lets a little water in during heavy rain, the rear lights probably need sealing up properly In case you've missed it, this is the legendary 220SLi owned and repaired by Mr_B011ox, its most recent years are well documented on here (my thread is here) and on RetroRides. It will be at Shitefest so you're welcome to go over it with a microscope and test drive it to your heart's content. I would like £350 for it as it stands. I know it's not the £100 it's been passed around for before but it's had so much spent on it and is in such improved condition since then that I would like a little return but that said I've spent far more on it than it will ever be worth. I don't want to swap it for another car but I am confident in its reliability and I like a good road trip so am more than happy to assist with delivery anywhere in the UK (I'm in North Devon). Start queuing here.

Belongs to a mate of mine who has recently retired and doesn't need two cars anymore. He's owned it for some considerable time, its recently had a cam-belt and has always been serviced regularly. Five door hatch I think, 1597 petrol, manual, mot July 2015, a current tax disc until the end of this month goes with the car. Very straight bodywork, tidy interior, colour silver which has faded. there is some slight rust on the inner edge of the rear wheel arches and the front edge of the bonnet and it needs two front tyres asap. He wants £200 for it, if anyone's interested I'll take some photo's and get more detail, i.e. number of owners, mileage, anything else relevant that a prospective buyer may want know. Its located in Hednesford, Staffordshire WS12. This is what it looks like, not the actual car.

My computer and phone have had a massive anti-Autoshite SPAZ ATTACK so I've had to register a new account, with thanks to Dave and Trigger. I'm getting a new motor tomorrow, here's all anybody needs to know (unless it was a white Calibra)... What do I win?

Due to me keep having lustful thoughts about Rover 75's I need to offer my BMW for sale, its a 1998/S 318is Coupe Auto (140bhp) 101k, a folder full of service history, Fully stamped service schedule, MOT to April, a really straight genuine example which Barry and his mates have not messed about with, the previous owner had it for 3 years and he bought it off his BOL who also had it a few years. Everything works (electric windows/sunroof/mirrors/CL) It was last serviced in January 2014 (full service incl plugs) @98k and the last MOT in April was at 99k, so its only done about 3k this year, had a new exhaust fitted in September. It drives spot on, no warning lights, just as it should be. No use of any oil or water, driven it into London a few times it seems quite happy in traffic as well as cruising on the motorway. Rear diff has started to show some signs of leakage, there are a few dabs under where I park it. Probably an oil seal, Ive owned 4 BMW's and each one has had a leaky rear diff. I might stick it on Autotrader this week for 800 if I get time, but im looking for £700 firm. If no joy selling it I will happily keep it for the rest of the winter and continue 75 shopping in the spring, but in case anyone is interested here it is (located in Essex near Southend);

As most of you know me Laddo's Renault Megane has been up for sale and he has now done a deal and the car has gone.................HOWEVER................he has taken a red 1999 (v) Hyundai Accent Coupe 1.3 in part exchange. Now don't get me wrong, it is a shed BUT it has mot till November 11th 2015 and the owner has just spent £377.90 on getting it through this last MOT. It has an advisory list as long as your arm but in my opinion is not that bad, it was MOT'd at one of those autocentres so is guaranteed the attached list. It has 127k on the clock and can you believe the owner wants the radio cassette back so that will have to come out. the bill is for: MOT Track control arm lazer wheel alighnment (surprise surprise) CV Boot Fuel Treatment???? 2x tyres (ditto above) Stabiliser bar Advisories are: Near and offside indicator light slightly discoloured Offside headlight obscured but not more than 50% Parking break has little reserve travel Offside cv boot slightly worn light misting of rear shock absorber oil leak Fuel pipes corroded Alternator belt worn Spare tyre defective So a lot about nowt really. The car needs a good clean and the laquer is peeling a bit on the roof. eBay photo's to follow but I thought I would see if there is any Hyundai love out there first, especially for Autoshiters price of £250 drive away. Thats nearly half of the mot money, nearly a full yaers mot and any crap in the door pockets are yours.

I bought this Honda from Richard (rwelfare) not long back, and it's turned out to be a cracking car. Unfortunately it's just not my style. It does everything I ask of it. My first love is Volvo V70's, and I've found one I really want, so I'm going to offer this up again. Full details are in Richards' ad. http://autoshite.com/topic/18364-fs-accord-%C2%A3300-avensis-%C2%A3400-long-mots-nr-basingstoke/?hl=accord To my shame, I've not taken any more pics of it. It's absolutely filthy at the mo. Just along the road to me, there's a site where they are dumping spoil from the London Crossrail project, it's a mudbath and I drive through it every night on my way to work. The Honda is running superbly, a testament to Richards' meticulous maintainence. I'm asking £275. This is what I paid for it.

Hi guys I'm selling my r reg Rover 600. only reason I'm selling is because I won't be using it for while thanks to an impending driving ban. I don't really want to sell it but here goes. It drives nicely and the body work is ok with no really bad rust or damage to paintwork. The interior is great with no rips and you can't even see any wear and tear on it. The MOT runs out in aug but she has not road tax. Theres a couple of small blisters on the rear arches but that won't take too much work to put right if it bothers you that much. Price is £600 and the car is located in Essex. Cheers.

"Here we have..." ...the ex-Wobbler Merc W124 300E, as seen in CCW on occasion. 1990 G-plate, 180K; MOT Feb 2015, currently on SORN (garaged). Indestructible 4-speed auto, recently serviced by the bloke who built Red Victor 3. Four new Avons 6000 miles ago. New driveshaft (OUCH!) a bit before that. Straight-six runs well, needs new idle-control valve (obtained, not yet fitted). Body good; front floor lightly tickled for MOT, slight bleb on rear arch. Good cloth interior, very comfortable. Sunroof and driver's window currently u/s. On steels at the mo (with RAIR silver-edge trimz!) but alloys as above available. FOR SALE: £695 ono

In a classic case of ‘can’t keep them all’, the Cavalier will have to go. The 416 isn’t selling, but also it’s handy having an auto for scooting around town in, so anyone fancy this for £150? Not currently subject to lottery funding but might go that way! 135k miles, MoT to October (need to check the date) and taxed until the end of August. Arches are a bit shite but drives really well, even if it’s a bit noisier after the run to Wales a few weeks ago. Inlet manifold gasket as I’m reliably told by Andy cms206. 2.0 8v so cruises well on the motorway and is good for B-road hooning, as KruJoe ably demonstrated with his John Cleland impression at Shitefest. Interior is decent after I spent ages cleaning it, and all electrics work apart from the door mirrors. Comes with a fair bit of history too. So a slice of the Senior Sales Executive lifestyle for the meagre sum of £150, I’m expecting massive interest in this…. Edit: Can a mod do the green For Sale ad tag, thought I'd done it but isn't coming up, cheers.

How do All. I've been on here a few years but lost my profile in the Great Board Move of 2013 I've sold a few cars on here before, a Fulvia and a Scimitar you can probably still find the 'topics' on here. Anyway, due to circumstances beyond my control I'm 'between homes' due to this countries wonderfully shit housing market - oh to live in Scotland and not lose money when people drop out of a sale! Due to this I have to sell some bikes as I have a lack of garage at present. So........ 2004 KTM200EXC Road reg with V5. New chain.Air filter etc etc Goes like stink. Full Pro Circuit pipe. Few spares. £1500 with lid, full armour, boots and trousers. gloves and top and all the other enduro stuff I got 1974 Honda Chaly. 114cc Honda engine not Chinese shit.

I'm 12 stone and it pulls 60 on the flat which is Many quality parts like the Takegawa sprocket which was £45! All new seals. New Keihin carb - genuine not copy. RAMAIR filter and other stuff I've forgotten. Couple months MOT £1000 ono. 1979 Vespa Ciao with V5 (one prev owner) and a complete Bravo, Dutch registered, for spares.

Come with Haynes BOL and the interesting bit......Malossi big bore 80cc odd (forgotten!) complete top end, million rpm safe NEW race crank, full set of seals and gaskets. Promagas race pipe, new forks and stuff - that lot was £300 odd. Whole lot £275 Honda CR125. Last of the steel framed ones. Got the numbers deciphered somewhere and it's a 1990 I think! Sorry need to find the papers. All numbers present and correct. Totally rebuilt. Done 6 hrs since, receipts for £2.4k!!!!!!!!!! mostly genuine Honda. Problem with front master cylinder but comes with a lot of spares. Silly money spent on things like carb being sonically cleaned.

Latest hopeless toy alert. puch 7 by Cavlover1, on Flickr Yes, it'll fit into a Kangoo that's already got a mountain bike in there puch 9 by Cavlover1, on Flickr puch 8 by Cavlover1, on Flickr puch 5 by Cavlover1, on Flickr Puch 4 by Cavlover1, on Flickr Puch 3 by Cavlover1, on Flickr Puch 2 by Cavlover1, on Flickr puch 1 by Cavlover1, on Flickr Supposedly it ran for 15 seconds then just decided that was enough. It turns over and is nearly there (I'm told) so I'll need to piss arse about with it and see if we can get it running. The lad recons the oil goes into the bottom end via a sort of cap on the bottom half of the engine, but surely these are a pre-mix job?

Someone from The internet won this! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231267984623 I said I'll take it... Then I realised that my mrs will disembowel me if I bring another peugeot I'm happy to go pick it up and look after it for a week or so! I mean I can even tax it at cost? It's an n/a derv and will probably run on chip juice for extra win!

www

11 .5 months mot, 6 months tax. Tan leather, rusty nearside wing and offside drivers for bottom. Tow bar. Will need 2 tyres. Jewish Racing Green. Air con sunroof. 118k is in daily use. A few pings etc but a great way to lose your license! Photos are shit. I'll get some more taken. Blisteringly fast these cars. Throttle is aways on tap. Great breaks. £425. Car is in Hexham, Edinburgh is 2 hrs by car or train. Newcastle 30 mins on train. Will collect from Newcastle Airport.

It's no Girl before a Mirror but it's no Joker either. 2001 Citroen Picasso 1.8 petrol, manual box. MOT 28th September 2014 Taxed end of July 2014. 110,000 miles. Pretty tidy, especially for one of these. Power steering, central locking that sort of shit. Towbar and single electrics (I should just lie here and say it was only fitted last week to tow a Cozy Coupe kids car round the back garden, but I won't, I haven't an effing clue what it was used to tow with) Interior surprisingly clean, bodywork the same. Some scratches and a dent or two but defo above average. Good tyres, can't hear any exhaust blows, cam belt allegedly done last year. Runs great, can't hear anything that would worry me too much. Door have to be opened from lock on passenger side (how completely unlike PSA that is) but all doors lock and open. EML on, no idea why doesn't effect the running so bollocks to it. £375. If anyone's worried about the test expiring end of September I will take it to any garage of your choice in Chester for another MOT as long as you pay for it, I can't be much fairer than that. Don't be a knobhead and ask me for my 'best price' before you've seen it and I will discount the price a bit for a shiter.

It's time for mrs maxpower's nissan micra to find a new home.... so i thought i would chuck it in here before dealing with the mongs of bay. pic's below...2002 nissan micra (51) plate, taxed until end of the month.... can tax ' buyers expense.... mot'd until march 2015...just gone over the 87k miles little silver 1.0 litre auto with bulletproof engine. usual bumps and scrapes you would expect with a car of this age. had both front gators done as advisory with mot... BAD POINTS: ignition key is stuck in lock.. so will probably need new barrel... though nissan said this was a common fault with these cars..... passenger side wing mirror needs new glass. PRICE: what's it worth to you?

What happens when you go on ebay when you're bored? This: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-205-1-1-GL-5-Door-Blue-only-2-owners-136K-/151275668018?pt=Automobiles_UK&autorefresh=true&hash=item2338bb8232&nma=true&si=wKs92J4r9%252FkcYaeJ6VgP6WojwN8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Just won it for £112.01! I'll get a train to Crewe, tax it then drive it home. Hopefully.

I bought this a couple of months ago, about two days after the 405 I bought which I then sold and drove around in since. It's got the 1.7 Isuzu turbo diesel and I've just chucked in 36 quids (full tank) worth of sunflower oil and it runs gr9. I've just covered 1,100 mile journey to Paris and back without a hitch. I've given it a service and I changed the grey interior for a complete black Recaro one from a Sport estate (carpets, panels, everything) on the weekend (2 hours removing and 8 hours putting in!) I've also changed the thermostat, new fog light, ball joints, top mounts and drop links and it drives just like an astra should (quite dull and predictable lol). Rear is cavernous with the seats down! Faults are bonnet and wing has lacquer peel, front bumper has crack, the power steering pipe cracked and sprayed 2 litres across the engine - I've steam cleaned it, but the under bonnet padding is quite damp at the front - you wouldn't notice it! The rear arches are crusty and I put my finger through a bit if the silk in one place! Tax til 09/14 and MOT 06/14.

2004/04 plate Vectra 1.9CDTi. (I think it's the 8V model) MOT September Tax September. 1.9CDTi engine with 6 speed box. 157,000 miles had belts etc not to long back and seems to have had good money thrown at it. Towbar and electrics. Great runner and seems good on juice. Bodywork ok, some rust bottom of driver's door, looks like someone's keyed one side of it at some point and it's been very half-arsedly touched up. One key which works as in manually opens/locks the doors, but if you open the door the alarm goes off until you put they key in the ignition. £650 drives it away, it's in Chester, Cheshire.

Welcome to Eurocrap, a division of Cavcraft, CorsaEnterprise.co.Albania and Looming-Divorce. Today, being the lucky* Mrs Saviour's and mine wedding anniversary, I woke up pot-less, card-less and present-less and recalled the date. Got enough VAM (Vectra ashtray money) to buy a top quality* anniversary card and precious little else. Anyhow, the reason for this is that last night I did that thing that all sensible people do when they're skint, they buy another car. So, for sale is the following: 1995 Pewjot 106 1.4 (1369) XR petrol. MOT January 2015. Yes! Two thousand and fifteen! Taxed until the end of July 2014! Just 54,000 showing on the clock, condition of car suggests it's genuine but I have no proof that it is. 5 speed box. Nasty looking after market CD player. No power steering but I 'll just blow the tyres up to 45psi and tell you it's really light anyhow and make sure I reverse park it first. Seems to run great (approximately 5.1 miles so far) Insurance should be dirt cheap. Had a complete new exhaust fitted inc. cat. Very clean and tidy car. Known faults: There's a slight blow from exhaust. As it's a full new system I'd like to think it's just something daft like a gasket or join. The last owner said it was because it wasn't a genuine (Peugeot) part exhaust, make of that what you will . The ABS light is on. This made me LOL a bit because I wouldn't have thought a 1995 106 would even have ABS, but the car stops fine as it is. I think £325 should be a pretty fair price for a quite poplier little car that should do someone a good turn and has plenty of MOT and a bit of tax. Chester, Cheshire not far from motorway and railway station etc Everyone likes a shit picture, so here's your complimentary one:

Yes, a genuwine Trabant. It is in Communist Misery Beige with matching beige-orangey sofa like cloth interior. It is taxed and MOT'd - full details to follow. It is a C plate car that runs really well for a Trabi, I had a go of it, the first time ever in a Trabant I might add, oh what a total hoot! The 4 speed column mounted change is pretty good once you get the hang of it and it really does nip along quite nicely. A Daf 33 will have the slight edge on top speed, but not by much. Body condition is good but not concourse, some stone chips and small scrapes here and there but well within DIY territory. It is owned by a good mate of mine who has owned these fun cars previously. He bought it on a whim but has now seen a honey of a Saab 96 that he wants to buy for his wife. Forgot to add that the car comes with some spares that includes a new exhaust system. They have a neat mechanism at the bottom of the headlights, you flick a little lever that changes it from LHD lights to RHD lights. Very cool! He is after £1200 for the Trabi but is open to close'ish offers. Piccies to follow. I did attempt to take some arty* angled pics but seem to have failed miserably. Perhaps it was some secret DDR technology. Who knows. The fabulous little Trabi is located in Essex, and as mentioned, is fully road legal, so view, buy and ring-ding-a-ding away.

Yep, regretfully the Citroën is up for sale as well. It's an LNA 11E, which means it's pretty basic - it does have a rear wiper, but that's about it. Like the Talbot, it's also very solid for one of these. Underside is very good indeed. It did need a patch welding on the nearside rear inner arch for its last MoT, but that was it (apart from CV and steering rack boots). The current MoT runs out in October, and it's taxed until the end of July. It's done about 55K miles - again, believed to be genuine but no proof. It runs and drives fine - the gear linkage could do with adjusting as I pulled it out of alignment through being a clumsy twat, but all the gears still select OK, it's just the gear lever is a bit further forward than it would normally be. There's a slight whirring noise from somewhere in the gearbox - not loud enough to be really noticeable when on the move, and it's not got any worse so I've not worried about it. There's also sometimes a slight vibration when accelerating flat out, especially in the higher gears - no idea what's causing this, I checked for play in the driveshafts etc. when the car was up on ramps getting the rear exhaust replaced last year and there wasn't any. There's also a bit of a flat spot on acceleration, which is alleviated by leaving the choke out slightly - seems to be a common thing with these engines. These issues have been there as long as I've owned the car (apart from the gear linkage misalignment), and have never bothered me enough to start taking things to bits to investigate. I went to Kings Lynn and back in the car just a couple of weeks ago (120 mile round trip), and it was fine. Bodywork is generally good, although there are a few minor dings and stone chips etc. Also one of the rear bumper end caps is a bit broken. Interior is mostly good, although as usual with these the tops of the seat backs have suffered in the sun - the front seats come with stylish fake sheepskin seat covers at no extra charge. The boot struts don't hold the hatch up, so needs propping up with a bit of wood. It does have split fold rear seats, which is unusual for a basic early '80s small car, and helps to improve the rather restricted luggage space. That's about it I reckon. I know the list of defects looks quite long, but none of them stops the car from being useable, and I'm confident it would drive to wherever. Although it's only a 4-speed, it's quite high geared (around 3,000 revs at 70), so it sits happily on the motorway without sounding like it's going to put a con-rod through the block. It's also good on fuel (I reckon 50mpg plus on a run). I'm in NE Norfolk for those that don't know. Here's some more pics. How does £450 sound?
