just passed the MOT at a cost of over £800

 

I expect you had all the rust patched over, or maybe that's the cost of bent MOT's these days?

 

Plate is transferrable and worth approx £2500+, if you dont want it I will lower the price but not by £2500! The plate is the original from 1960 (174 AFJ) DAAF DAF TAAF ALFRED JOHN JONES???

 

 

Nope, looks like 174 AFJ to me.

 

Conclusion = TOSSER.

 

£3,499

I don't get this 'private plate' bit and people who think their £300 shed is worth eight grand because the number reads OKF 211T or whatever. As a rule it usually goes one of two ways when you call them about it: they tell you the plate is worth nine million quid so you tell them they can keep the number and you'll buy the car for it's actual worth so they will make loads of money if the number is worth what they say, or they insist that they go together for a ridiculous amount so you put the 'phone down on them.

 

Anyhow this seems one hell of a lot of money for an unfinished, incomplete giant Meccano set...

LPG or not I'd have thought you could score a half decent Defender for less than this thing, DW's being an example?

Toyota.com reckons that a new Toyota Tundra CrewMax 5.7 starts at $42.555. XE.COM reckons £58k comes out to $93k. So either A) Importing the car cost more than the car did in the first place, B) The car has the longest spec-list evAr, possibly running as far as anti-helicopter armament, cloaking device and Personal Jesus system, or C) the proprietor of G.W. CAR SALES (HALIFAX) LTD is a morally bankrupt anal cavity just waiting for the first wealthy and stupid builder to turn up wanting "the biggest pickup in Yorkshire".

 

Have to laugh sometimes at the inflated value of US imports. I regularly see '80s Camaros for sale for deep into four digits, in the US they throw them away.

I see that a lot too, people trying to sell FWD Buicks, Cadillacs, Lincolns etc for around £4k when in the States they are all available for the equivalent of about £500.

Have 4star classics ever sold a car?

 

That Audi while nice is about 7k over the odds, its also missing the chrome arch trims.

Seems a bit much for what looks like a scale model.

Just imagine the hordes of paddy wankers you'd have to deal with if you were selling that Toyota, it doesnt bear thinking about. Saying that, maybe it would be a few less nowadays, seeing as the digger-driving and executive-shoebox-building industries have collapsed.

I reckon I could put up with a few if, as RoadworkUK has suggested, I was making up to £30K on the deal!

The gentleman with the massively over priced 262C also has a very early basket case Amazon for sale.

Can't see him fighting off the crowds with that one, even if it is a B16 model 'with all the parts'. They'd need to be tip top for that money as you can't get stuff for the early Amazons for love nor money, not even in Sweden itself.

I love that.

 

IIRC There was a chap who advertised in C&SC - Robert Hughes http://www.roberthughes.co.uk/stocklist.html and he has been knocking these uber tidy old XJ6's and 12's out for that sort of money for decades now. I used to spend far too much time to be concidered healthy poring over those ads while locked in the bathroom

 

Re the Volvo chap - I reckon he is under pressure from his misses/council to clear the garden but really doesn't want to :P

They look like He-man dual control ones. Perhaps not mega expensive if it comes with the rest of the linkage tho?

 

Still an absolute no hoper of an advert though, I can;t work out what is going through people's minds when they try and sell something without supplying any details.

Those A-R videos look GR8, but I wouldn't pay £40 for them. Maybe when they've been relisted a few times and the price has dropped to a tenner I might well be interested - just think of the amount of top-notch chod there must be in that lot!
