Tellingly, purpledonkey has 75 feedback - and the only thing sold was a Raleigh BMX. He'll be retiring soon!

That AX pick-up looks suspiciously like my old AX van but I don't think it was as new as 'M' reg.

Remember this VW thingy thats for sale for 600 quid in a scrappy in Scotland?

It's not a bad looking car to my eye, needs a few tweaks, but I think it looks better knackered

[outlaw118]

Now....this will probably divide opinion....

Moar photos would have been a good idea; there's only three, the others are of the dash and the seats.

If it's been done properly...it could be worth the £7995...oh, it's

Purple handjob is the gift that keeps on goving it seems.....

 

Need a career change and don't fancy being a mobile tyre fitter?

 

Hows about spunking TEN THOUSAND POUNDS on an eleven year old pickup with a jetwash in the back.

 

Anyone?

 

Hello?

 

No, didn't think so.

Beat me to it Mr Lobz, had that one lined up.

He's got some really nice stuff on site, it's just he appears to have been taking some pretty serious drugs when pricing them up.

IIRC £4.5k for a non standard, not that nice Mk2 Granny?

Sorry, but my arse hurts just thinking about it.

[TimothyClaypole]

"Efficient collection and payment. Best of luck with the enormous mark-up!"

 

Top feedback.

[ashmicro]

 

£3495. I've seen these for a bag in similar nick.

 

he has a couple of salty Minis as well.

Hmm, not sure if that Nova is a 'real deal' special, not seen one before. It does look like a Sport with a wide arched kit on it to be honest. The Sport is a rare and quite sought after car these days, if that is a proper job of some sort then it'd be worth a nice sum, but probably not that much. If it's 'just' a Sport with some cockhead bodykit then it's not worth much.

 

FWIW though I reckon that's mega fit and I'd defo roll round in that.

He must have fucked this one up as he has a MKII scrote estate with a nicely tuned cross flow that looks smart and has only done 32k for £3200,. I wouldn't say that was totally unreasonable even though it's an estate.

But then a Maxi (all be it a nice on) for £3495

By consulting the CAP Purple book I recon he'd want at £7995 for the scrote.

I likes it too. Useless bit of info - I was talking to Brian Ashley of Ashley Exhausts years ago and he made me a Sport back box for my Nova SR as they made the original ones for the proper Nova Sport which was I seem to recall was a 1.3SR with a pair of side draughts and spotlights (?). Anyways, he told me Vauxhall were setting up the original prototype and it blew the exhaust off, the power shot up so they went to him for a back box. The only colour powdercoat he had enough of to make the order of back boxes quick time was blue so all the original Nova Sport back boxes were blue.

 

I have slept since that conversation so it may all be beau locks! Nonetheless I love the brown tartan interior of the first 1.3SR

[Joseph]

Here's a wee cheat, for which I am sorry. It isn't from eBay:

 

 

Yes it's nice, but how much?

I really like that Escort estate. I think if I was going to have a Mk2, that's what it would look like. I'd rip the Binto out and put an Mi16 in there though. Just to annoy the rally jacket mong 'fakkin zetec' crew. Amongst other things it'd lighten the nose by about 700,000 lb.

I had a Sport back in the early 90's. Twin 40 Webers and god knows what else. I think the exhaust manifold and cams were beefed up. It seemed to be a standard shell with SR suspension, seats and dials. The rest seemed very 'Merit' spec.

 

And IIRC the original back box on these from the factory were red?

[Cavcraft]

Still regret not buying a Sport years back from some shitty garage in Connahs Quay. I thought it was some sort of home made/boy racer job so back heeled the deal I was offered for it.

Ditto a Nova Fly(?) convertable I was offered on the cheap.

 

Sod it, I'm going to have to buy a Nova this year, hopefully an early mingebag spec 3 door hatch as I can't afford an SR or GTE/GSi

[brickwall]

More from Purple Bell-end. this seems more apt, perhaps.

LOL!

That's probably the best value thing he's got on sale too!

 

Plus free tampon!

[Guest]

Just looked a Plurple Hose's Nov again....

 

I am sure those clocks aren't even SR/GTE, on those there's speedo and rev left and right and in the middle by oil pressure, temp, fuel and charge.

They don't look like that or is it me?

And Sports were all early early Novas as in 1.3SR based.

[brickwall]

I just googled muck spreaders and it does appear to be good value. Muck's on me then.

No, I was thinking the same. No Rev-Counter is a definite indicator of something being amiss as SX and above had them. Even some of the lowly diesels came with one.

 

Think it's probably a Merit with an engine transplant...

[Guest]

I'm intrigued by Pusfull Hose.

They've bought loads of girly shit like jackets and moisturiser but the vehicular stuff, it seriously looks like they are on a scam or are just dumb and won the lottery recently.

 

Yamaha FSIE bought for £620. Now up for £2495!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mazda 626 bought for £840. Now up for £2495!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

 

In-fucking-credible.

[Cavcraft]

Fuck me, he's getting worse! That Fizzy isn't even an early/collectable one, the Chingalong So Happy Axe Murderer Madness Wing Wang Hong Kong Chopperbong moped is more than they cost new (plus they are TRULY fucking awful things) and the Lambretta Li is close to three times what it's actually worth and very close to what you could get an SX or TV for.

 

*Edit: Nova details are: registered 18/05/1989 and engine size is 1598cc, so it's not a Sport. Best guess is a home made special.

[Ben_L]

One of Purple Pricks recent purchases...

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121019872060

 

£250 of shite costume jewellery. How long before it's strewn over the parcel shelf of a K11 Micra, listed as a "Ready to go upmarket rival to F-Hinds" with a price of "£9995, which is nothing for a business ready to float on the stock market"

 

 

[Guest]

Cavette - I didn't even look enough to see it was a Wingwangmonkeespankysuckyfuki and yes, the Li125, hmmmmmmmmmmm hardly a roadburner and I wouldn't be shocked if it was a Lucknow Curryburner SIL jobbie!

 

As for the Nova - it has plastic checkerplate floor mats. Enuf sed.

 

Now this FS1E is £2.5k and worth it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-FS1e-1 ... 2326a54a01 they befuddle me, someone who'd want one of them would surely know what's worth a jot or not. Are PH really that stupid or cleverer than we can ever comprehend?

[Lord Sterling]

Just checked the plate of the Purple Knob Nova special on the RAC data check site, it came up as a 'Nova L' which I suspect is a pretty basic spec Nova.

[Guest]

That's one L of any understatement.

 

Sorry(ish) crap joke

Nowhere near the SR/Sport spec... What a prat.
