No one collected it when it sold for £620 or £820 so the seller feels a BIN of £11,100 will get it shifted.$_57.JPG

See the Volvo seller has dropped the BIN price, -put the decimal point in the right place!

Those classic Citroen, Thames et al. vans converted to coffee and snack wagons are all round London. I thought they were a great idea because they look so much less untidy than the usual snackwagon trailers full of pikey toothless bacon and egg flippers. I thought at first they were just rotten shells painted up nice and propped up in situ, but they are all taxed and have all had immaculate restorations. They must have cost a fortune to do. I wondered where the original money came from because there are a LOT of them about.

 

It's not for everyone, but I think if you consider what you're buying which is a business ready to go and what looks like a very well restored vehicle with resale value, it's not that much money.

I like the way the guy assumes the window has never been fitted

 

Did BL used to get Pilkington to fit dealer stickers to the screens in advance of fitting them then?

Can't blame it!

Perhaps they think it's a mini?

It is beige though - you can't fault it for that :-)

My citroen mechanic/welder friend was called to one in Watford I think  - had about £25K of stainless kitchen in it and was so heavy it wasn't legal but they were going to put it on a low-loader and park it in canary wharf. BUT it wouldn't go, so they called Rick out  -  paid him a lot for out of hours expenses etc and he got it running so that they could drive it on to the loader and take it into London. Total cost was about £40K. This was for an outdoors section to their building-based restaurant (to which they gave him and the wife a full dinner as well).

Sometimes I despair of humanity. it wouldn't be quite so bad in my opinion if they didn't make the plastic bumpers rusty too.

This was at a local evening meet earlier this week... Even the aerial has been 'Rusted' , it is a crock of shit, Whoever thinks this looks cool ( along with all this 'Scene' crap involving VWs and others ) truly need their head examining.

Oh and 6k.... Yeah right, What fucking planet on these people on/from.

Sorry, not a car (although it might have been prior to 1996), but I've been enjoying watching this one:

REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE

 
£3,299.99

(reduced after twice listing it for £3,500)

 

 

 

I would not recommend drinking it as the can is an older steel can and may have corroded inside.

 

That's one reason not to drink it, sure.

 That makes that beige fester sound like a bargain

This makes me wild. This same Orion was seen advertised not 2 months ago for £4500 which in itself is ridick pricewise.

 

But £8250 for an Orion. An Orion on Momo arrows. How did they spend £30,000 on an Orion.

First to see will buy?    No they won't. Fool.

Very good. But seriously, coming from an Orion ENFEWZIAST I can't figure out where this 30G went - or where the value from 8k is. Sigh.

 

I've clocked om to a similar carry on a while back. Due to some unhealthy eBay scouring tendencies I (like most on here) spot most 'on the radar' stuff.

 

ie: nice low mileage/giffer owned 80's / 90's type cars for sale privately which often will sell for a few quid only to appear a few weeks later for sale by a 'classic car specialist' for crazy money. This then unnecessarily makes general public (usually Mongbay sellers) think those types of cars are worth mega bucks when they're not .

 

Still doesn't explain the mystery of the £8000 Orion though!
