  • One grainy photo - check

  • weedy 1.3 engine - check

  • drab colour scheme

  • four door saloon

 

I know there is a weird love for these Corollas but hadn't thought it stretched to €6,500

 

Breath-taking.

Just imagine, you could hand over the best part of £3k for this then within a matter of a mere couple of decades, few tonnes of welding wire and about another £100k in new parts you could be ready to fit a pineapple on the roof ready for the show circuit.

I've mentioned this place before, and i know Trigger is aware of it, but i'm not sure the website has ever been posted.

Last time i went down there they had literally hundreds of cars there, in various stages of decay, some having tax discs dating back 7 years.

Anyways, their whole company ethic is to "stack high and sell cheap" type of thing....but have a look at the stock list, and nothing looks that bargainous to me....

Recently closed down and reappeared under a different name. They sell anything they get given.

 

2005 Laguna with "FSH and 1YR MOT" that had no brakes

2008 Vectra with duff gearbox

 

Trading standards hoofed over there and closed them down. Their website isn't up to date either as most pictures are of the old yard. Wouldn't go within 50 feet of them after I test drove an A-Class 210 model where the electric window switch pack was actually flapping around in the centre console.

 

They did have much bargainous shite, but the prices on the site were non-negotiable due to the agreement with the supplier or something. Rotted Calibra 8v was £2,000 when I went there 5 years back. Was genuinely fit for scrap.

^ who's going to email them to see what they'll give you for the 'rare' Cortina power steering rack you have hanging up in the garage?

Bet they offer 10p.

Think again

I should think so for 5 grand.

Kent Van centre is about 3 miles from me.It's been up for sale for well over a year. I had a look at this van when I went with a mate to look at a Transit in there. I ran my hand under the rear arches and they are full of filler. What other horrors are hiding under the shiney paintwork for 5 grand?

An LDV van with a compressor in the back? NO, this is:

 

This is your chance to own an up and running business

 

We believe with a little tweaking this business could be easily relocated anywhere

 

I should fuggin think so, seeing as its a bastard van with an engine and 4 wheels FFS

 

The phone is currently pay as you go but comes with the business

 

Brilliant, thats a clincher if ever there was one!

 

Classified ad price:£25,000.00

Is it not the case that this car can never, legally, be used on the road?

I thought chopping monocoques was now very "iffy" and there is no way of getting a car converted to a pick up through that VOSA/ BIVA type test to make it legal coz there aint no catagory for it, maybe.

Or is that a load of old horsesh*t?
