What a knob; "Must be one of the most collectible Clios ever"

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-Renault-Clio-1998-RN-Zoom-1-of-5-on-the-roads-full-MOT-20k-1-owner-LOOK/163730094382?hash=item261f12f92e:g:bPYAAOSwH~Rc2Y1w

£3,500 for a semi automatic Clio with dodgy paint which is probably actually one of the least ever collectible Clios

Bonhams and Historics would like to send this to auction due to its rarity and miles and 1 owner but I thought I'd give here a go.

 

Yeah, course they did. £250 TONITE M8.

 

What a fucking balloon.

Heres a bargain for you all, just £3700 for this tidy but unremarkable Fiat Croma 8v diesel

If thats too cheap for you you can buy it on finance and pay a total of £4300 for it. I reckon its about £750 worth in the real world.

When will people realise that rare rarely equates to desirable?

The words I used to try to buy my grandads old allagro vendurm plush off my uncle who'd been given it and had no use for it. 

It was 1993. So his skint nephew offering £500, was a big thing. He told me it was worth £2000, plate raped the reg EUL 27, and left it to rot in a damp garage for 5 years before scrapping it.

Ok it’s the 2.2 five pot, but it’s 2wd, scruffy, done over 150k and been laid up for 9 years.

I’m seeing one too many 9s in £5,999.

People seem to be asking £5k or so for decent ones, which is a bit more than I’d have guessed.

A tatty project like the white one - maybe a grand or so?

If you find the saloon version of that (the 90 CD) they're probably only worth about three grand. I had the 2-ltr saloon for a while in the mid-90s. Very good engine and gearbox. Boot space pitifully small.

A-pillar can rust with alacrity at base of windscreen.

5 grand for one of them!  it wasn't so long ago thats what a UR Quattro cost. I've had a couple and while they look pretty smart and the 5 cylinders make a nice noise they're nothing special.

Agreed. They were pretty valueless until recently and have largely disappeared, which together with the silly money Quattro turbos now go for is what’s put asking prices up, I suppose.

And I thought E30s were overpriced. At least they’re fun to drive.

1984 VAUXHALL CARLTON 2000 GL AUTO RUST FREE BARN FIND ORIGINAL RETRO CLASSIC

Now I do like these, just look at all the velour:

But this one is 6 grand and it's not exactly perfect:

Seller says "AS FAR AS I AM AWARE THE CAR HAS NEVER HAD ANYTHING REPAIRED OR REPLACED WHATSOEVER" - I'm not convinced that is a good thing.

Is it just shadows, or is there some kind of bodge lurking in both rear wings?

I’d bet good money that it has had a proper shove up the arse, boot floor kinkier than you wish your missus was.

My Audi 90CD was like that. It had been properly shunted (nearside rear) then pulled back out on a jig. The bootlid never shut properly.

funny, because when I lived in Cheshite it did fuck all but drizzle when it wasn't pissing down with rain.

A good day was when moisture just hung in the air :D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Cheshire the location of the UK's largest salt mine ?

I think he's actually increased the price:

Never mind a car of historic value, I think that's an ebay listing of historic value

This car has huge historic value and should be treaded as such.

1 of 5 on the roads and known in exsistance.

 

How the ever-living fuck can an unpopular transmission variant of a facelifted Mk1 Clio, which turned out to be something of an engineering dead-end, possibly be classed as having 'huge historic value'? He sounds like he's trying to sell the Rover Gas Turbine car, the way he's crapping on.

What sort of museum does he reckon would fall over themselves at fucking Bonhams, of all places, to snap this up?

I understand The Isle Of Sheppey Museum of Shit Gearbox Versions of Tedious Small French Hatchbacks closed its doors sometime in 2014, despite huge public outcry and sternly-worded petitions to Parliament, so he's maybe overplaying his cards a smidge.

Nothing whatsoever in the listing about the condition of the bodywork - and I note all the pics have been taken in the rain, while standing on the opposite side of the road. For nine-and-a-half bags. Fuck right off.

 

Anyway, I understand @R9UKE of this parish bought a red Clio Zoom for the sheer novelty value a few years back - for all I know, he still has it too...

2003 Fiat Stilo for only 200 pounds, that's  way below its usual value.

Just one thing wrong !

New battery

new starter motor

Everything  else is great

Cam belt broken, just needs a mechanic

or selling for parts
