The one and only Trabant RHD in the world

Price: £15000 Sold

[RedSparrow]

Meh, if I was well rich like I'd offer him £20,000. But I'm not.

I'd be interested to hear the story behind it though.

 

EDIT: Just found it, interesting stuff.

All the nasty meanies pointing out this s stupidly overpriced have had their posts removed, obviously

[Wilko220]

That forum really is such a load of toss, isn't it.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Its not £64k, its £6.4k

[pandarus]

Its not £64k, its £6.4k

That is a beautiful original car, surely not for ratting?

[Negative Creep]

Its not £64k, its £6.4k

 

 

My indignation had reached such a a level I forgot how to count

[Micrashed]

I quite like it and if you want a show car then you might well pay that for it.

I wouldnt pay that for a Mk 2 Golf, but hey if someone wants to its their money.

Fair play, that's superbly well done.

Yawn

[Wilko220]

Each to their own, if you like that sort of carry-on. I'm just pleased we don't have Nazi mods on here deleting posts they take exception to.

Old PurpleHelmet's been busy on his used car lot:

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-P100-Pop ... 0777354125

NEW YEAR SALE!!!! REDUCED BY £1000 TO JUST £5000!!!!! HURRY HURRY!

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Go ... 0966696258

'BARNFIND GOLF GTI! JUST £2000!

Mk 1 1983 One of the very first gti and the one that every collector wants

Thats right - one of the very first, as they hardly built any in the preceding 8 years of production

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-Morris ... 0916180676

Can't believe no-one has snapped this up for just £3000, its only done 200,000 miles FFS

 

Has he sold anything lately? Lets check his feedback:

 

Neutral: Sent wrong bike! Left it to me to get it back from other buyer!!!

 

Well thats the customer service you have a right to when dealing with top-end traders like these. thats why you deal with them innit.

[RedSparrow]

From the photos it looks like he has a big house and garden and it rather amateurishly dabbling in the used car world. The doctor he ain't.

Ital is nice but it's 600 quids worth tops.

[ShiteRider]

What's really pathetic is most of his stock seems to have been bought on ebay, so he buys a car.......triples the price.....and then expects people to pay £3000 this week for a car they wouldn't pay £1000 for last week........cock juggling thunder cunt.

[autofive]

did a little digging on purplehelmet, it seems he's moved from

The Stables,Carver Hey Farm, Moss Lane, Little Hoole, Preston, PR4 4SX

and has very deep pockets

all of the above suggests he's not 'dabbling'

[Albert Ross]

That forum really is such a load of toss, isn't it.

Isn't this a bit like going into Asda, and telling them how unhappy you are that Tescos have horsemeat in thier burgers? I couldn't give a toss what happens on there. I don't subscribe to it. If I wanted to give a toss, I would go become a registered user. But I don't, so I haven't. I might stick my head round the door occasionally when someone plops a link on here, but that's it.

[Wilko220]

Me too

[Mr_Bo11ox]

You can say what you like about R-R, the for sale board is excellent. You get all sorts of good stuff coming up on there, and they manage it so that thick people who omit the most basic info like a price and location, get their ad booted till they sort it out. So theres no half-arsed ads on there ("Just testing the water.....") at all.

[Negative Creep]

Although it's surprising how many people fail to grasp the simple rules of advertising even though there is a whopping great sticky at the top. I do find it good for buying (although have had little luck selling) but I can never find anything to contribute to the General board, since there are very few actual discussions and more endless picture threads

[catsinthewelder]

I find that RR can have fantastic content but it does tend to get lost in the meh. Fortunately all those good bits tend to be linked to from here sooner or later so we're the winners

[willswitchengage]

If you really do want mind-numbing levels of utter stupidity then I advise you visit the balanced and informed debates on Pistonheads instead. Their Scottish independence thread is cutting running at 434 pages and counting, for instance, and that they have a sub-forum called "News, Politics & Economics" fundamentally, well, it's not even worth investigating what content ends up there...

[Cavcraft]

Purple Headed Womb Broom is quite clearly never likely to be getting much richer, much quicker with his prices, but I'm not sure if we're worrying too much about him here. If he's trying to knock out stuff for 5 times it value, he'll have to find out the hard way at some point.

I bet the people he bought the cars off aren't complaining, so I'm not sure he actually deserves being called a c*nt or whatever.

[flat4alfa]

cock juggling thunder cunt.

There's a similar lass living nearby.

 

We broke up soon after.

[flat4alfa]

From the photos it looks like he has a big house and garden and it rather amateurishly dabbling in the used car world.

The Farm house itself hasn't changed ownership since 2001, so likelyhood is that it is rented. Likewise, the plot, as the outbuilding are listed as other firms' premises.

 

Still, 'Geoff' is living my dream, so I'll sit back and observe with my green-eyed monster.

 

Coming to a bankruptcy hearing near you. Probably.

[willswitchengage]

 

Hedge find Maestro with MOT and tax about to expire, £350

 

THE STARTING PRICE IS THE VERY MINIMUM I WILL TAKE FOR THIS CAR.

[brickwall]

Ant a reg that spells 'goat'. Super duper!

[autofive]

looks a bit like ted goat
