Sure, why not? What kind of perfectly practical, towing-friendly family-size estate car can you get for 2K, that will make almost everyone take notice as you pass by? How many new friends will you meet during conversations that begin "My dad had one of those..."

 

Admittedly I haven't read the listing, I'm going purely on the snap and Seth's reaction to it. If it's as good as the pic says it is, then why not?

:wink:

 

I know what you're saying, it is indeed a very practical classic but the Hunter estates I have previously watched have ended up around the £1000 mark. I think he'd be lucky to get 2K even though compared to many other equivalent cars from other marques that would seem a bargain.

Set of wheel trims for a Panda 'Italia 90'....Rare I admit, but highly unlikely to be any takers at the BIN :roll:

 

They are very cool and very cheesy at the same time! I've recently aquired a load of car-related literature and there was a press photo of the Panda Italia among it with I think Geoff Hurst posing with it. It's on my list of tat to scan in for everyone's perusal.

Ooooh, a lovely Sunbeam Rapier in truly superb condition. Must be £7000 worth on a good day, and deservedly so.

 

£15900

 

Oh. Maybe not then.

Near to where i grew up in Colchester there is a Skoda dealer, for years it has been overpriced, they never seem to change stock so today i popped in quickly to take a look.

 

I only manage to get two photos as it's on the main road and i wasn't sure if it was open or not.

1997 Peugeot 406 3.0 V6 in Colchester by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

 

This 406 V6 was up for £2999, Amazingly it hasn't been taxed since 2001, I bet it's been on the fourcourt since then, no joke!

2000 Skoda Octavia 2.0 SLXi by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr

 

This Octavia was up for £3499, This hasn't been taxed since 2009, There was also a R reg Felicia for £3499 and a 02 plate Citroen C5 for £3499. I'll try to get back one day and get more photos.

 

Just checked google streetview and the C5, Felicia and the 406 are on the fourcourt even then!, and the Silver Primera is still in that space as well.

Might as well buy one of those Subaru Sambar things with a VW T1 bodykit and spend the rest on a supercar.

I bet that's actually quite a nice motor. Faster than the "koops" too.

Another old van/bus/camper that I have missed the bus on.

 

Yeah but it has union flag cushions, an RAF roundel on the bonnet and he's taken a picture of some bird next to it using the 'sepia' setting on his (I'd imagine) iPhone.

All of this means it is RETRO and so deffo worth that money Rupert. Yar!

3800 seems a lot for a Sherpes alright, but if its in genuinely nice nick then that sort of money seems reasonable for a classic campervan, you can easily pay 4k for a shitty old C-reg pez engine talbot express camper full of wob, i'm always amazed how much money campers are.

^^^SRS?! I must admit I don't know a lot about campers. So even a totally shit one can fetch a couple of grand?

You pay for the interior, basically. There's a whole lot of craftsmanship (lol) in there that isn't in the plain original van, hence the difference.

Environmentalist of the year? Xylene is bloody nasty stuff and acetone isn't far behind.
