Looking good so far. Oh... Hmmmm... Why yes. I'd like a car that requires a tetanus booster every time I get out, and no way of pulling the door shut from inside. Ironically, it will cost you over half of that price just for the hard top of a Black MR2 Roadster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod/b Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I thought they’d actually mounted the cap up on the back seat of that barried mk1 for a second. I had visions of someone climbing into the back and getting ultrazapped in the back of the neck like a cow at an abattoir. BlankFrank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.E Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Good grief, there used to be an Escort Mk VI around here with a 306 front and these Ferrari F355 units as rear lights, but this looks even worse. 5600 BIN for something that looks like an unfinished Pimp my ride episode?

3VOM Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 For 5600 I'd expect a vgc Mk1 cabby. I think it's a Barry project that got abandoned and someone thinks it is worth money now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOtherStu Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 4 hours ago, New POD said: Ring it. Basically this. M140s of that era are worth an absolute mint. They're actually increasing in value. The M140i is a 3 litre turbocharged engine with absolute bags of torque. Its replacement, the M135i has less BHP and a more sanguine 2 litre. Thing is, it looks fairly OK at a distance - a straight swap into a chassis of a similar era. The wheels look OK too. Someone will pick that up, swap it in its entirety into a shell that has a blown engine or something and sell it off as the real thing. And arguably, this is a more honest ringer than one that's a cut-and-shut. Jamie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says on the advert that the MOT "expires" on 22/7/2021. Except it doesn't. It expired in February and doesn't appear to have been at all dealt with. So we've got a 2006 poorly spec'd import (that says 2017 on the advert, except that's when it was imported) that hasn't had an MOT for 8 months and they want £7k for it. Bonkers. It looks like something from the 1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Registered as 1967 E reg so Tax and MoT exempt. Land Rover hybrids existed mainly in the late 80s and early 90s when poor people with beards and cable knit sweaters wanted a coil sprung utility Land Rover but couldn't afford to buy a 90 or 110. The solution was simply* to buy a Range Rover with rotten bodywork but a good chassis and either shorten the chassis from 100 inches to 88 inches to fit a short wheelbase Series Land Rover's bodywork or leave it as it is and shorten the bodywork from a long wheel base Land Rover. A bonus was that the donor chassis usually came with a factory fitted V8 engine already installed for more power. Back then there was nothing especially dodgy about hybrids, there wasn't any Mot exemption for classic cars and Tax exemption hadn't yet been introduced. The pictures don't show the engine or the chassis, but I'd suggest that this is in fact a Land Rover 90, made in the 80s or early 90s fitted with a Rover V8 engine which could be from a TVR (I don't think they were especially different to the ones fitted in contemporary Range Rovers and Discoveries). I reckon the only bit of this that dates from 1967 is the vehicle identity, presumably taken from a scrapped vehicle to save on the hassle of having to pay for tax and MoTs. Not the first person to have done this but distinctly dodgy nonetheless. Remspoor and willswitchengage 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
