I had one - sold it a couple of years ago. Absolutely no interest in it from buyers at any price. It was quite nice but not an outstanding steer. Virtually unsellable as far as my experience, the one I had was in good nick. You'd wait a long time to see these sell - who would be the person with £5-8000 in their pocket and wanting one? Beats me. A more real world price one on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254545605852 But even at that price sales may be hard work. No idea what spares are like on these but a bit difficult I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somewhatfoolish Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I suppose with the advent of cheap 3D printers even fiddly plastic things can be homebrewed much more easily, so even if there are a lot of differences it could be worked through without you tearing all your hair out.

I know of a couple of cars that have been done like that, that are hilarious to evaesdrop at onlookers telling others they've heard all about the said vehicle. 25 years ago there used to be metallic green Chevette coupe driving around in Milton Keynes. It really looked the part, even the interior was Vauxhall tartan GLtype trim. I mentioned it once to a friend, wondering if tit was some sort of prototype that escaped the factory ( we’re only 20 miles from Luton). He laughed and said the bloke that owned it told everybody that’s exactly what it was, but he’d made it himself out of a Kadett and rear ended Chevette, apparently the rear seat on the coupe is identical to a 2 door saloon. stonedagain, Datsuncog, Skizzer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it seems that I probably won't be in a position to buy a car from his stocklist any time soon. But would totally recommend to someone who wants to blow £150,000 on a lancia.

Jerzy Woking Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Two wheels this time. Buy a £800 Diversion, take the paint off of the tank, chuch the front mud guard in the bin, wrap the headers and bung on a seat. And ask £2,500 for it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254583912895 Wonder how often you will strip the skin off of your shins walking into it before the exhaust gets canned?

Nev Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hey @DavidB & @1duck both of those should have gone in the eBay Tat thread, this is mainly for massively overpriced old shit...if that Marina was £4000 not £400 it'd qualify for instance. (As it also could go in the "Just scrap it" thread)! The "bargain" bit in the title is meant as sarcasm, and had it been written now, would have had the obligatory asterisk. ?
