Pillock Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Re the Old Spice Capri, I saw it at some event (can't even remember what it was, some fun day perhaps) and I seem to remember it was auctioned off by Old Spice, or given away in a competition. I'd have thought it was finished to a "that'll do" standard under the vinyl wrap rather than being a full-scale resto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket88 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Flat tyre and that "just stolen" look of a missing radio and lots of wires hanging underneath the steering column. Nice, diesel and a long MOT... but a bit much at a bag of sand. Maybe I'll make an offer... WTF is the "hydrogen cell" he's going on about?

Albert Ross Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Erm... arch lips, cloth trim, wooden wheel, these all scream "Export to Muslim Country" before anything else....

ProgRocker Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I posted this Audi 80 1.8S auto in the 'EBay tat' thread last week. It was attracting strong bids and bidding ended at £1600 . Now up for sale @ £3,999 - more than twice the highest bid. So it now deserves it's place in the 'Bargains' thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Look at this POS. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C315036 1959 VW Beetle - Golde ragtop - Semaphores For Sale £15,000. It looks like someone has smeared shit over it. So now the car can be used as a daily driver or sit in a Garage or Museum. It has the fake rust Paint that has apparently 5 differen't colours to get the Rust effect all over with L87 Pearl White Paint as the base colour-(custom Paint Job), Rusty-Adged Dull look used on body with Yellowish tint to bring the car to Film standard and decal/stickers by Gregg Carr (official Herbie correct decals from Tampa-Florida). The interior is painted in Matt-Grey just like the film cars-I have seen x4 original Herbies in my time here in the U.k and USA and can only say that it's so near the original cars and a fraction of the price! The only film that car would be used in is 2 girls 1 cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willswitchengage Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 WTF is the "hydrogen cell" he's going on about? Hydrogen is made by electrolysis of water (using electric energy from the car's battery) with an enthalpy of separation of 285KJ/mol. Electrolysis of water is roughly a 60% efficient process, probably a lot lower in a home made system. This hydrogen is then burnt in the engine to make water, with an enthalpy of formation of -285KJ/mol (creating energy to charge the car's battery). Thermal efficiency in an diesel engine is roughly 35%. FREE ENERGY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I don't know about hydrogen, but those VM OHV diesels run great on veg oil, which you can get for nothing if you're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIH Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Seeing all those nothing motors with massive mark-ups reminds me of an white Opel Manta GTE Hatch back in ~1999 that was on a forecourt in Glossop @ £2.5k for several years. Probably still is. They barely made £500 back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
