OK, 45K is a lot of money but this looks very well executed!

I can fully imagine that someone would pay that much for it

Surely it isn't the only one in UK.

 

Golden Sam was 1500 GL on the V5 if I remember right.

That is about as spiteful as motoring gets.

 

The price is just the final insult.

What is it with these?  I like a bit of 80s Japanese tin as much as the next loser, but these are just shit, aren't they?  They all seem to be up for £2k+: madness.  This one's two and a half.

 

 

ONLY 7 OF THESE LEFT ON THE ROAD IN UK

 

There's four on eBay right now, so I'm calling BOLLOCKS on that one.

 

Also, epic white room fail you MORON.  I'm really quite cross now.

LOL!

 

The "victim" turned up on an Audi forum, he had a lucky escape....

 

You may have seen the 100 in Tibet Orange which was for sale recently at a dealer who may be related to 4 Star petrol!

I negotiated a Mike Brewer style deal and bought it for £18,000. Okay, a very high price but, if you had seen the pictures, you would realise that it was in fabulous condition, or was it?

Having driven 150 miles home in true 70s style I decided to change the oil - just to make sure. What came out can only be described as sludge. Following that revelation I had a go at the coolant. NO COOLANT! Only severe rusty water. Having refilled both and been on a drive to thoroughly warm it up I left it overnight. Next morning, top hose, flat as a pancake and enormous hiss when the radiator cap was removed - blown head gasket.

Worse was to come. Removing some of the stuck down carpet in the boot revealed some severe rust with holes where you could see the ground! A badly welded panel completed the disaster.

To be fair to the dealer. No hesitation on giving a full and total refund so full marks to them. They were selling it on commission and as far as they were concerned it was as good on the inside as the outside looked.

I offered £10,000 to buy it in its current state but this was refused, so be on the lookout for it reappearing elsewhere!

There was me hoping it had gone to an enthusiast or another museum last week. The way it's been lashed up on that trailer isn't ideal either!

LOL!!!! Flippin comedians man. I never understand why these jokers think someone is going to pay 3x more to them, than they could have paid at the auction. Real life just doesn't work like that.

As for that 4* classics, what a pile of balls. Commission or not, you don't have to be a flippin rocket scientist to find a buggered HG and rotten boot floor before you bust out the white room and splatter it all over the internet for 300% of the condition 1 price. Verdict: Amateurish. get some lessons off THE DOCTOR

And the price of those two 125 motorbikes. £400 max for each at best. Dreamer.

I've just looked at their items for sale and the 3rd one down is a Skoda and they can't even spell "restoration". What a complete asshat

What a knob. I thought the auction prices were too high but this guy's just taking the piss. Does he think no one will find out how much he paid for them? If you're going to ask silly money at least make some effort, like taking them off the trailers and getting decent photos for a start, plus they're now on Anglesey, which isn't exactly the easiest place to get to. Chancer.

 

ETA: spot the Brightwells name in the Escort pic. Lazy sod took the photos at the auction house and didn't even wait until he got them home.

If they were genuinely worth what he's asking now then what he paid for them isn't terribly relevant but the complete lack of any effort to advertise them properly does look like plain, lazy greed.  It's a shame too, he's got some very nice and, in some cases, unique cars but at those prices they'll be going nowhere which isn't going to improve them.  That Metro Scout in particular is a shame, it looks brilliant and presumably could be made roadworthy but the advert makes no attempt to explain how close it is to being MOTable.  Hopefully someone will buy it and it'll turn up at Longbridge next year.

That Metro Scout is lovely, but probably worth about a grand tops. £9350, what planet is he on?

Hope he suffers a plague of tyre-kicking eBay time wasters and penniless dreamers.

 

As for that Audi 100, I have several times tried to buy one of these and each attempt has been foiled by empty radiators, sumps full of fudge or bodged rust in the boot.

And wide eyed innocence from the dealers.

^^^ Oh come on, if it was an XR2i/RS1800 then possibly the inflated price could be sort of justified but for a "special edition"??? I'll have some of whatever they appear to be smoking
