Mmmm, Lovely W124. E60 AMG. One of 12, apparently. Gorgeous. 

 

 At £10k I'd be bloody tempted. However.

[Spiny Norman]

Brabus stuck a 7.3 litre version of the V12 into the W124. One of those would be fun.

[Pete-M]

I know someone with a W210 EV12 estate. That thing is rather bloody special. He somehow gets 20 mpg from it in town which astounds me.

Fuck. Me. (not literally, you understand)

Yep, rare, and very nice, but HOW MUCH?

[garycox]

I literally did a LOL at that price. Suely it must be a 'POA THIS IS NOT THE ACTUAL PRICE' type thing?

£24,000.00

 

Looks like something from Butlins, circa 1982!

Who in their right mind would pay 3 and a half bags for this thing, think of all the decent cars you could buy for the same money!, It's not even the 1.4 FFS!

[mercrocker]

They've been snorting the mushroom vapour off Rishworth Moor if they think that's worth 4G.

Hilariously, my mate Ryan used to own that. I think he paid £495 for it, which was £700 too much.

Bring back teenage memories?   I thought memory loss was a pre-requisite for Smegro ownership!

[Pillock]

They seem to think they can get Doctor money by giving it a wash.

Aren't those wheels from a later Rover 114? The drivers seat bolster is worn, they've left phones and sunglasses inside whilst they take the pictures, it looks like it's just come off a jack and not settled too. Abysmal. I'd want ten identical ones for that price, and perhaps a weekend with a high class hooker too.

This was mine lol and it's actually come down in price since he first advertised it! They gave me £300 as part ex and I was just glad to get rid! it's only a 1.1 and a stolen recovered, needs a timing belt, 2 new sills and the radiator leaks badly. The wheels are original and being a 1.1 is super rare (because of being slower than walking)... but thats all... ha

 

The reason it sits so high is that the guy I bought it off had the suspension pumped in March, thats all.

 

Oh and someone drove into it 3 days before I part ex'd it... you can see the crease in the bonnet still and the cracked bonnet badge...

[Pillock]

If only there was someone local, who knew all the faults with it, that could go and tear it to shreds in front of the dealer's eyes.....

"Is that a dent in the bonnet?"

"Are those sills crusty?"

"Has it ever been stolen?"

"Are you on crack?"

 

etc.

[twosmoke300]

really love the halfrauds GTA badges on the boot --------NOT

[RedSparrow]

Mental. That's a £400 first car but nothing more.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

That Metro is defo a front runner in this thread for sheer hopeless self-delusion. The ratio of 'asking price : realistic price' is certainly at the upper end of the scale at approx 10:1, and if you take into account the total mediocrity of the car in question that must bring in some sort of multiplier. Asking £25k for an MR2-based Ferrari rep is clearly ridiculous, but at least you can see that you're being asked to pay for some semi-skilled work usually including an expensive paintjob and a retrim. Here you're paying a substantial premium, for absolutely f**k all.

[jonny69]

Now £300...

[Pillock]

I see the head gasket has healed itself.....

By my calculations, that car will be a reasonable price in or around August 2016.

[autofive]

i think he needs 5000 questions about the headgasket.........

Ok still not excessive and not in Purple Horse territory, but I'm annoyed that I didn't follow it up when it was on first, now I can't afford it.

If you look for an Ovlov that is both of this:

[nottinghamphil]

Take a look at this link... a 1987 mini advantage, albeit  'restored '  but needing some work... only £5 shy of 14K  ... yep, almost 14 grand for a mini, but it is in Bradford !

One question.... what planet are the pair selling this on ?

[Micrashed]

I was just going  to point out the bonnet being bumped....

[outlaw118]

Anyone remember this fine steed - and the kerfuffle attached?

It's sold. £7195.

I seem to remember it was a lot dearer than that when i detonated the original shit-grenade.....EDIT: Just found it 19/09/12, and £8k. 10% discount?!

E Type Jag question....

HOW IS THIS

"worth" £189,989

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171114832916?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

 

When this one - albeit needing a bit of work:

is only for sale at £15,500.

Shirley it won't take £170 odd thousand to restore? Or is the seller of the brown/beige one on glue?

Series 1 E-Types fetch more than Series 2s, because they is prettier. That Series 1 seems to have some interesting provenance, which is very important if asking for totally ridiculous money. 

 

The Mini is hilarious. It's already rusting FFS!

[Cavcraft]

This is seriously nice, but I have no idea what sort of coin these are worth.

Obviously an Austin 3 litre - (is this a land lobster?)

This one is £10,995 classified. If my numbers come up. this will be on the list, but until then....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-3-Litre-Automatic-Stunning-/221279852293?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item33854e9705

 

 

Fabulous motors. Someone was selling a really, really nice one in blue at Chumley a couple of years back for about £4,000 I think. The one you have posted about is big money but I'd wager it's not too far out of bed, perhaps £7,000 being nearer the mark. 

[jonny69]

i think he needs 5000 questions about the headgasket.........

 

Can't believe I did this

 

 

 

hi me8 do u have any more pictures around the car so i can see a bit better,,, also do u know what it needs for mot test,,, is it smoking at all what is the head gasket like because ive heard these can be a bit trouble some like rovers when they get on a bit can get a trailor from nearby m8 in ponty cheers jon

[cort16]

Those 4star classic guys are on a different planet I can't believe they sell anything. It must just be lazy buyers.

 

That KGF Classic cars who advertise over on RR are expensive those 4star classic guys prices are mind boggling.

 

I'm seriously considering buying that 405 just so I don't have to hear anymore about it on here.

[dollywobbler]

I'm seriously considering buying that 405 just so I don't have to hear anymore about it on here.

 

Indeed.

[Fat_Pirate]

Indeed.

I suggested last time we club together and buy it.  It'd be like one of those classic car clubs.

[John F]

I'm rather enjoying this never-ending attempt to sell the 405, in a weird way. It's like watching a road accident in slow motion (NB no 405s or shouty Welsh Peugeot-selling mongs were harmed during the course of this imaginary road accident).

 

I certainly wouldn't want to reward the 405 seller's consistently poor attitude by giving him the sort of money he's demanding for that OMGHGF heap, though.
