reliant robin pickup the ultimate (way of) advertising (the fact that you are a) tool

 

£3495.00

[strangeangel]

i took this for the mot and was stopped 4 time for people to take photos and the mot station is less than 2 miles away

 

How did they do this, jump out in front of him?

 

COOL STORY BRO.

 

[oldcars]

It has a rare storagebox over the handbrake. Worth a bit, not 3k mind.

Take one utterly broken and rusty Softdash Range Rover Classic

 

CVC registered Range Rovers could mean Press P38 or factory runout softdash classic Autobiography. Eitherway interest continues to climb.

 

So baffling then that rather than fixing the diff, waterpump, sills, inner wings and boot floor, Lob the best part of £1k worth of cheap tat at it and a couple of OLLI stickers

 

Advertise it as off road only!

 

Great for the local square mile of Pay and Play site on which most of the cheap tat is utterly pointless.

Oh and you have to trailer it to and from the site for which you will need a 4 wheel braked trailer and something rated to tow over 2.5 tonnes .. Like a road legal Range Rover

 

To you my son 7 bags

 

DOH

£70 more likely.

 

Is £4,000 the magic number to advertise a complete heap of shit at. That Nova a page or so back even has the authenticity of a spray of underseal on the back of the sills post MOT plating.

Pah!  Those guys are amateurs.  This is how you price a bargain

^^ That is lovely though!!

 

Thats new Fiesta money, which actually makes the Rover look an absolute steal all of a sudden.

[LC Torana]

Fitted with Lucas Square 8's, which accounts for two thirds of the purchase price.

Since when is a buggered non-running Lada Riva worth £2k?  Have I turned over two pages at once in this story?

[worldofceri]

Tax expired 1993. Must have failed it's first mot and been parked up... But has it done 1475 miles or 101,475? If it was fucked at three years old I would guess the latter. If it's the former, seller needs to borrow a gravel driveway.

Anyone fancy a MKII Cortina 1600e   needing FULL restoration ?

The price was so optimistic he dropped it by 2 grand within 24 hours of listing, ( maybe the drugs had wore off by this time ) but still overpriced by at least 6K

THE RADIO WORKS AND ITS THE ORIGINAL OPTION FROM FACTORY .

 

 

My arse

 

Ford Radios at the time had the Ford Logo on and I very much doubt this model of Pye was even made in 1969 - look much more late 70s-80s to me.

Concur, radio / cassette in 1969? Wouldn't have been anywhere near the options list.

_{Those drugs are still wearing off.... Despite ' Lots and lots ' of calls and people falling over themselves to give him 8K.... he's now dropped the price to 6.5K,  , never mind matey take it back and store it on the planet Zog, where you clearly came from !}

 

_{Update...1st Feb... Now down to 5.5K... I bet he can't handle the prospective buyers wanting to hand over the cash !}

_{Update ...6th Feb... Now Down to 4.5K... Keep going lad... still about 3k overpriced}

_{Update...10th Feb...Re-Listed again... Now up to 5k,   WAIT... reduced to 4.3K !!!}

This bloke wants £150 for two untested ECUs from an almost worthless car notorious for having unreliable ECUs.  Brilliant.

£2k for a 1994 Xantia, but it's only done 40k miles!

Bets on it still being on the original cambelt?

Wears much of its original poverty spec trim which is nice, note lack of any bling, nor temp gauge etc etc I am pretty sure though that my 105E saloon dash only went to 80mph. I used to bend the needle on the bump stop with my chooned and balanced 997 oversquare block and high ratio diff

 

 

But Someone cut a couple of winders into the sides

 

doesnt appear to have been Mot'd since the mid 1970s and is NOT recognised by Doovla, no V5 nor any chance of getting one - unless a complete fruit loop manages to get it up and running.

 

 

Thrown into the bargain is that the front suspension is shortly going to launch at least one road spring into a stable orbit

 

 

To you mon brave £1500

 

verdict - some nice spares on it

and I have an itch for a 105E again

Who in their right mind would ever pay £4995 for a 100k diesel auto Tipo?!

it does look nice but that kind of wedge "nice"

 

This one seem to be in similar shape

Only 6 biggies and these guys are known for their excessive pricing. 

 

Verdict still daylight robbery but 4 bags less

Jesus Christ. I had a G reg one of these in about 1996 and I think I paid less that £5k for it then.

 

That digital dash is doing well, mine developed some VERY strange habits and eventually stopped working altogether.

[Steve79]

Definitely not diesel. My mum had a 1990 1.6 dgt back in the late 90's. Drove ok for the most part but always felt underpowered. Tailgate was massive on these and weighed about 3.5 tonnes.

 

Bit of wiki history check

 

DGT, (early Italian market DGT models were badged as 'digit', presumably in recognition of the digital dash, but this was quickly changed to DGT after a dispute over ownership of the name, leading to confusion about whether the model was diesel-powered.

I bought this in 2011 for £750, kept it nearly too years, sold it for £950 and now it's up north for £3990! (Admittedly it does say £1490 on Autotrader tho) It also attended Shitefest 2012.
