That's come down in price a fair bit. Was up for £5450 not long ago. A great story behind it - saved literally from the scrapheap - but I think it's just too new to be seen as important.

That Honda advert is just full of lies. 95% of parts replaced? That means that only 5% of the car is original - sounds great in terms of reliability!

Very rusty R11 with two months MOT, for two and a half grand - because the model featured in View to Kill a Mocking Bird (or summert). Check the rusty wings and frilly arches in the huuuge photos...

EDIT: Just checked the listing - apparently it's not rust, but 'inevitable oxidation'. Hmmmm....

It'd be worth more if it looked like the 11 did after the chase scene in View to a Kill.

Not so sure whether the price isn't justified in this case. Those are still quite sought after by filming crews on the grounds of camera steadiness while in motion. The modifications appear to be outstandingly well made and totally specific to filming work. It would cost a whole lot more than 22k to have one of those built by a specialist company from one of the usual rubbish bins out there.

I can see this thing rigged with cameras following a P6 that's going to be crashed for a stupid soap opera.

Wait, what?

Does this guy get free listings or something? According to here, a 28-day classified ad listing for a car is £14.99.

 

 

 

 

Madness I tell you.

 

Yeah I think it was discussed before. As far as I can tell he's spent more than £360 on listings. Bit of a mystery, unless he never looks at his paypal or bank accounts!

To have the head gasket skimmed I was told £40.

 

Errrrr....erm....nah, I just lost the will to explain it.

 

 

I know the picture are sh*t but the 405 needs to be seen properly.

 

Addressing this problem is actually not that involved.

I see "Piss takers will be reported" still, but

 

 

 

Bid retractions (last 12 months): 23

 

Don't you just hate piss takers?  :roll:

The weird thing is that he had better pictures in his old listings

Price: Ã‚£35000 Or near offer

 

Dear God! I had to go back and count those zeros again, just to make sure.

 

Maybe one of them was added accidentally... it wouldn't be cheap even at £3,500, unless there's something I don't know about that justifies the exorbitant price. Which is what the seller implies in the description:

 

 

 

This car has become a legend in its own lifetime and values have gone stratospheric, for what is essentially a fairly unique Japanese coupe.

"Too much to list"

 

This used to have relevance when you were limited to a small paragraph of text in the local rag.

On an ebay listing with no character limit, it is just fucking laziness at the extreme.

 

If you can't be arsed to write it down, can you actually be arsed to tell me over the phone, or be arsed to be in the house when (if) I wanted to view?

 

It paints such a shit picture, as we all know. MONGS

80 bags, even, bar a fiver. Personally, I wouldn't give them the £995 for it.

 

Even more laughable is that they've fitted fibreglass components to this obvious fat bastard of a vehicle - seriously, why bother?
