And the AX is better built than the Cinq. You read that right...

 

The AX GT is the most insane of all the 80's hatches. it weighed as much as a toothbrush and had blistering performance and mad handling. Rare as rocking horse poo and in the condition that one is I'm not surprised at the price tag at all.

It gets even worse than that, Trigger.

 

Please dont think WOW twenty odd grand for a Mini!. think what you get for £20k and how most things go down, whereas minis are on the up? £22,995

The implication being what? That you pay 23 grand for a mini and it will then appreciate in value? Like next year it's going to be worth 25 grand or something?

 

We've had plenty of vendors in this thread who seem rather divorced from reality - but this one is in a different league.

Just something about that car. I dunno what it is, but it's just not right if you ask me.

My aunt had one just like that (even the same colour), if I knew it would be worth that now I'd have talked her out of selling it!

 

Has that white 405 completely disappeared? Not seen it posted on here recently and I can't be bothered searching for it on ebay.

I do like these, especially in TD flavour...but seriously, 163k on the clock and 2 grand?

 

 

£1200 tops - 

it's a nice one though - auto TD

 

mind you they are death traps when driven into a modern renner! too risky by half :death:

There's another 940 TD auto estate on eBay for £600 - they aren't worth much, the diesel engines have an unjustified poor reputation. They are incredibly noisy and quite thirsty though, a bit shit unless you like old diesels.

I've owned a couple and absolutely love them. There have been plenty of instances of heads cracking on the d24 engine, its vital to let it warm before ragging it and essential to keep it properly maintained. They don't last like a red block so on any volvo so fitted higher mileage IS more of a concern (to me anyway)

Performance is actually pretty brisk, mid range acceleration in particular is still impressive, but as you say they won't do much more than about 40 mpg or so. BUT they'll do it on veg oil.

Some jobs are horrible on them, timing belts (2 of) and rear 2 glowplugs. 

Yes I like old diesels. I have sort of been semi seriously looking for a 740/940 td for ages. without fail everything that comes up for sale is stupidly overpriced or has space shuttle mileage/is knackered/ is 600 miles away

Did those tightwads at Ford fit drum brakes on the back of xr4i's?

Or is that white one a lash up

Demo Car

 

I'd use that for a demo, the sort of direct action demo where you push it on it's side and throw a Molotov at it.

 

 

 

 

 

To be fair it would be a shame to waste the early shell and that engine. The rest is an abomination and really should be killed with fire.

That Samba has a trim strip missing under the grille too. £500 maybe, on a good day

That samba is at a garage about 6 mile away. Passed it on the way to a friends house. Looks quiet smart but still don't think its worth the asking price

Do other nations do wank things like this with their flags or is it a British thing?

That Mini sofa is properly shit, I can imagine it being in the reception of some wanky internet outfit like 'Groupon' or other overnight MEGA SUCCESS STORY INTERNET START_UP COMPANY that adds fuck all to the world. Plus it looks MEGA uncomfortable.

Has the OSF tax hit boggo Festers now? I had one exactly like that, only in better condition and with an even lower mileage, so by his logic it must be worth a four-figure sum now. In that case I wish I still had it...

I do a bit of this kind of thing from time to time so I won't slag them off too much, okay I will.

 

A coffee table, which seems to be made up of a bit of a mini the fireb rigade cut off, a halfords budget roof rack and a pane of class stolen out a skip.

£1200

Doubt it....I've got one. This usually causes any increase in value to cease or even reverse.
