Re the Old Spice Capri, I saw it at some event (can't even remember what it was, some fun day perhaps) and I seem to remember it was auctioned off by Old Spice, or given away in a competition. I'd have thought it was finished to a "that'll do" standard under the vinyl wrap rather than being a full-scale resto.

Flat tyre and that "just stolen" look of a missing radio and lots of wires hanging underneath the steering column. Nice, diesel and a long MOT... but a bit much at a bag of sand. Maybe I'll make an offer...

 

WTF is the "hydrogen cell" he's going on about?

[richardthestag]

Probably one of these things

I'm amazed they're even legal - surely it's false advertising? Note how almost all the feedback is from people who haven't actually fitted it yet

Fancy a bird shit covered Merc for nearly £5000? Ok I'm being a bit unfair as it's now been washed but still, five big ones on this?!

[Albert Ross]

Erm... arch lips, cloth trim, wooden wheel, these all scream "Export to Muslim Country" before anything else.... Srsly though, nice colour, shame about the lack of leather, lack of correct wheel, and addition of those arches/grot-hiders

[ProgRocker]

I posted this Audi 80 1.8S auto in the 'EBay tat' thread last week. It was attracting strong bids and bidding ended at £1600 .

 

Now up for sale @ £3,999 - more than twice the highest bid. So it now deserves it's place in the 'Bargains' thread.

 

[HillmanImp]

Look at this POS.

1959 VW Beetle - Golde ragtop - Semaphores For Sale

 

£15,000. It looks like someone has smeared shit over it.

 

So now the car can be used as a daily driver or sit in a Garage or Museum. It has the fake rust Paint that has apparently 5 differen't colours to get the Rust effect all over with L87 Pearl White Paint as the base colour-(custom Paint Job), Rusty-Adged Dull look used on body with Yellowish tint to bring the car to Film standard and decal/stickers by Gregg Carr (official Herbie correct decals from Tampa-Florida). The interior is painted in Matt-Grey just like the film cars-I have seen x4 original Herbies in my time here in the U.k and USA and can only say that it's so near the original cars and a fraction of the price!

 

 

 

The only film that car would be used in is 2 girls 1 cup.

WTF is the "hydrogen cell" he's going on about?

 

Hydrogen is made by electrolysis of water (using electric energy from the car's battery) with an enthalpy of separation of 285KJ/mol. Electrolysis of water is roughly a 60% efficient process, probably a lot lower in a home made system.

 

This hydrogen is then burnt in the engine to make water, with an enthalpy of formation of -285KJ/mol (creating energy to charge the car's battery). Thermal efficiency in an diesel engine is roughly 35%.

 

FREE ENERGY!

[Lacquer Peel]

I don't know about hydrogen, but those VM OHV diesels run great on veg oil, which you can get for nothing if you're lucky.

[CIH]

Seeing all those nothing motors with massive mark-ups reminds me of an white Opel Manta GTE Hatch back in ~1999 that was on a forecourt in Glossop @ £2.5k for several years. Probably still is. They barely made £500 back then.

All the nasty meanies pointing out this s stupidly overpriced have had their posts removed, obviously

[Wilko220]

That forum really is such a load of toss, isn't it.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Its not £64k, its £6.4k

[pandarus]

Its not £64k, its £6.4k

That is a beautiful original car, surely not for ratting?

[Negative Creep]

Its not £64k, its £6.4k

 

 

My indignation had reached such a a level I forgot how to count

[Micrashed]

I quite like it and if you want a show car then you might well pay that for it.

I wouldnt pay that for a Mk 2 Golf, but hey if someone wants to its their money.

Fair play, that's superbly well done.

Each to their own, if you like that sort of carry-on. I'm just pleased we don't have Nazi mods on here deleting posts they take exception to.
