Every time I look at one of these things the asking price seems to be double what it was the last time I looked! :shock:

Are these people dreaming or do they actually change hands for this kind of dosh?

If formula 1 drivers and telly chefs buy them, go figure. 40k is not exactly a bargain, but it will be paid.

Most overrated tosh this side of them stupid muscle cars.

My mates dad sold a '59 splitty at Vanfest a few months ago for £30-35k, I forget the exact price. He paid under a grand for it ten years ago, and spent about 3k on a respray last year.

Apparently some woman saw it advertised at the show on the friday, went to the bank, transferred the money and collected it from the show on Sunday. It was running the original 1200 engine so did about 50mph flat out, and was her first vehicle older than about 5 years..

 

Apparently within an hour of her driving off, he'd already spent £10k on a rough, bare shell to build the next van with. There are plenty of people buying them at these insane prices.

No tax or test, no history, description or anything CZ 125 for £495. Top comedy.

 

Oh, and cheers for the info on the Pinto, one and all. Not the type of American car I'd bothered much about, to be fair, so quite an eye-opener.

RE VW vans, as discussed before they have become a middle class aspirational fashion item. Usually bought by people who have no idea about them. I was whinging about this type of person moving to my old home town and taking over. Go into one of the used-to-be local pubs there and ask for a show of hands of who has a VW camper and a wood burning stove and it will be everyone but the barman.

 

If Cobblers' mate can make a load of cash on them good luck to him.

And why I bought a 54 plate Transit with under 100K for less than a Transporter several years old with twice the miles because it has a shite window fitted in the side and a bit of foam chucked in the back, day van/surf bus ftw. :mrgreen:

Too right good luck to the bloke, who wouldn't take an opportunity like that? I really like the look of the older split screen type campers, but it's bat shit crazy the money they make.

They are only worth as much as somebody is willing to pay,but I do feel some prices get a bit 'warmed up' I could value my Nova at £5000 as its such a little gem ..... But that last time it was worth that,it was under manufacturers warranty !

Fair enough, sounds like it's had a blow over since the pics so maybe I'll go along and offer him a bag of sand and see what he says.

It would have to come with all of them, plus a bottle of scotch to be value for money. There's nuffin like a drunk bunny girl stroking the back seat of a Jag.

There are to many watchers again if you want her just bid I am not taking less than £400, take it or leave it and don't waste my time and money listing all the time !!

 

Come on now fella surely by now you'll have noticed that the number of watchers does not correlate to interested bidders.

 

Perhaps its time for eBay to develop some sort of electronic-barman figure, "okay son, I think you've had enough, time to go home."

Well a fella at work paid £7k for a R reg T4 recently moded by some outfit called totaly T4. It is a petrol auto too! He bought it down in the west country somewhere and then moaned at work that it cost him £90 odd in petrol to get home.

You have GOT to be joking? :lol:

Front spoiler 'splitters' for a Sierra Cosworth. Before you click on the link, have a guess how much.

Fine as long as it doesnt catch fire in your house

 

Different regulations on the types of foam/sponge in car seats to house furniture and most of its down to how fast it burns

Making and useing it yourself are one thing but selling it is somthing else :shock:
