This is the only one in the UK for sale. Beautiful velour interior and get this....it's a one owner car. That's right, no previous owners. So if you are fanatical about Vauxhalls and want a Royale saloon in your collection then this is the one to restore. Ok the bodywork doesn't look great but the car is solid. Needs a battery but has been started and it fires up and goes in to all gears.This one is so perfect for you collection. You know that every collection needs a Vauxhall and this has to be the best one to get! Appreciating useable classic and cheapest in the UK by far. Don't be the guy who said 'I remember when these were peanuts and now they are mega money' ten years from now. Reserve with only £100." So reading between all that waffle, it's a rough, unloved old barge then. We source vehicles of significant interest from all over the UK. We add a modest 10% margin on whatever we buy them in at. This is to cover our transport, advertising and labour costs to leave a small profit in it for ourselves. We do have to eat you know! I've got nothing against dealers buying cars for profit but this is a barefaced lie. They paid £495 for it on eBay a fortnight ago! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-Vauxhall-Royale-1-Owner-Barn-Find-Must-be-put-back-on-road-Very-Rare-/273368611559?hash=item3fa609fae7%3Ag%3A21cAAOSwQ2JbVMYB&_nkw=vauxhall+royale&_from=R40&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc&nma=true&si=0woC5Bg7VICL05RRVfmQeV1oeqc%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Manbearpig, ProgRocker, Wilko220 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sierraman Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Should say ‘don’t be the guy who spent £20,000 restoring something that will be worth less than £2,000 when finished’ I love these adverts where they go on like they are some sort of classic car consultant. A bit like those dickheads that used to take a millers antique guide to a car boot. HillmanImp, Insideimsmiling, Alexg and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicksilver Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Even the 'professional valuer' mate of Bernie and Mario would struggle to convince anyone that a Vauxhall Royale will ever be worth 25 grand. The owner of that black Viceroy at Willington reckoned he'd struggle to get more than 2k for it and it's a LOT nicer than that crusty old heap of bilge. Seller clearly has delusions of grandeur and aspires to be dealing in Porsches and Ferraris but in reality is stuck at the bottom of the ladder.

Felly Magic Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 What about a tin corner estate that has had an engine fire and is fucked in the engine bay, no MOT or logbook for £4200?

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Nope. It's a more fundamental flaw in this front ended heap of shit. What happened to the E30 in late 1987?
