As entertaining as it was, I think far too many people have decided that shows like For The Love Of Cars mean they can paint up some old shonker and ask top dollar for it!!

A thoroughly decent, totally standard classic with unbeatable provenance will make good money, a modified Mini Clubman with 25 previous owners and birdshit mig 'welded' panels that haven't been painted properly will not!

Cant post links but has anyone seen the ecto1 replica on eBay. 175k. Looks like a good job but even so a little steep?

This mk 2 Escort with a 2.0 Sierra engine and some Alleycats has just finished with a winning bid of £12,000.

Oh ,it's on a 1300 Sport logbook,which, lest we forget is not AVO or RS or any such bollocks,but a trim level between a GL and Ghia.

No one collected it when it sold for £620 or £820 so the seller feels a BIN of £11,100 will get it shifted.$_57.JPG

See the Volvo seller has dropped the BIN price, -put the decimal point in the right place!

Those classic Citroen, Thames et al. vans converted to coffee and snack wagons are all round London. I thought they were a great idea because they look so much less untidy than the usual snackwagon trailers full of pikey toothless bacon and egg flippers. I thought at first they were just rotten shells painted up nice and propped up in situ, but they are all taxed and have all had immaculate restorations. They must have cost a fortune to do. I wondered where the original money came from because there are a LOT of them about.

 

It's not for everyone, but I think if you consider what you're buying which is a business ready to go and what looks like a very well restored vehicle with resale value, it's not that much money.

I like the way the guy assumes the window has never been fitted

 

Did BL used to get Pilkington to fit dealer stickers to the screens in advance of fitting them then?

Perhaps they think it's a mini?

It is beige though - you can't fault it for that :-)

My citroen mechanic/welder friend was called to one in Watford I think  - had about £25K of stainless kitchen in it and was so heavy it wasn't legal but they were going to put it on a low-loader and park it in canary wharf. BUT it wouldn't go, so they called Rick out  -  paid him a lot for out of hours expenses etc and he got it running so that they could drive it on to the loader and take it into London. Total cost was about £40K. This was for an outdoors section to their building-based restaurant (to which they gave him and the wife a full dinner as well).
