very nice example of this RARE mardi gras 1994. original flower butterflies and elephant decals down the sides, very cute. drives perfectly in very good condition. cannot find another like it it is unique! . shame to let her go!

 

 

£4250.

 

 

Verdict: CABBAGE.

[brickwall]

Bit unfair mate, I mean, it has the butterflies and elephants.

[rantingYoof]

Hey guise!

I totally get this thread and I visit it every day!

1994 Volvo 440 2.0SE with 25,000 miles on it - asking price £2,689.

 

2003 Vauxhall Omega 2.2DTi with 53k on the clock for £3,250.

 

Here are some things that I've only literally just stumbled upon and immediately thought of this thread so I came straight here without going anywhere else.

 

I don't think anything beats that six grand Rover 400 though.

[taxi paul]

I don't think anyone noticed. Stand easy, The thread police will give you a ring.

[laser wheels]

That 440 is a honey, though. Just not best part of 3ks worth.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Looks like the one KGF were flogging a few months ago. I think it's high time I upset some folks on ebay....

[Uncle Jimmy]

Knackered Starlet anyone?

 

 

 

 

 

Alright, calm down everybody. The seller's seen sense and it's £1,595 now.

[Pillock]

I like the idea of a Gold Rallye as an ultimate hot hatch, but by golly they don't half look like a half arsed dealer special. Flared arches without the wheels to fill, a quick blow over of anything black plastic with some paint and a Ripspeed style front "air dam"

[Uncle Jimmy]

Another crack smoking Coupe S owner.

 

Check out the "welding"

The moniker 'Hoodster7' is suggestive.

And thanks to all that extra weight no quicker than a boggo GTi. I doubt Lancia lost much sleep over it.

the carrying handle on the back of that puuuumar, is that a pukka, for thing or just some bit of after market jizz tat?

I bought a 156 new in Holland in 2000 and when I went to collect it there was a line of 156s sporting pram handle spoilers ready to go out.

 

Who in their right mind specifies that? I asked

 

'English people' came the reply

[Pete-M]

Yes. Place I worked at ordered a load of pram handle 156 Sillyspeeds. All in that nice pearly blue with cloth Recaro interiors.

 

They were fun when they worked.

Rat Rod Rat Style legendary Italian city car, rusted-out shell

 

 

Classified Ad price: £3,490.00

 

If it's that easy to fleece the English upon arrival to this great country, I've been a right old idiot for the past eleven years.

Well, I think I've been a right old idiot for the past eleven years, now that I think of it.

[rantingYoof]

 

 

Italian...car....rusted-out shell

 

They want credit for a naturally occuring phenomenon?

 

In his younger days SnrYoof hitch-hiked around most of Europe.

 

He was once picked up by a Fiat 500 which was already three-up, and some say* that the person who invented Tetris was nearby watching him try to shuffle himself and a rucksack the size of Daventry into the rear seat without molesting or crushing any other passengers.

 

 

 

 

 

*Nobody. Nobody says that.

[Supernaut]

No photos of the front of that 'racing' Puma.

 

What's the belmer crashed into with it?

i appreciate this is a very early model with only 5000 miles but does it really justify being £5495?

[rantingYoof]

5,000 miles in the first 13 years or so (averaging 300 miles a year!), and then nowt for 18 years?

 

I suppose the MOT and service will put your mind at rest. And maybe they are intentionally pricing out the barries?

[flat4alfa]

That £23k 205 has been reduced - by a grand. I can just imagine that generating a ton more enquiries:

 

"Did you ring up about that 205 GTI?"

"Nah, it's too dear, I only really want to spend £22000"

 

 

Update on the Peugeot 1.6 GTi

 

This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available

 

Which I read as 'sold'

[laser wheels]

Okay, it has only 5040 miles on the clock, but 2.5k?

I have it on good authority that them racing pumas are the dogs balls.

Some bloke that I used to talk to a the school gates on a Friday was a Quality manager at Halewood JLR plant when it was still owned by Ferds. And a lad who worked for him had one of these on the cheap under the Ford employee discount scheme.  It was written off, and under the gap insurance he was due a brand new one, as it was less than 6 months old. They couldn't find one, and he refused to take a second hand one. I think it ended up getting rebuilt.

£2.5k for that doesnt seem an obscene amount to me, but the trees photoshopped into the background suggests you are dealing with amateurs

[dollywobbler]

For £2.5, I'd want them to get an order in with DMB Graphics ASAP.

And thanks to all that extra weight no quicker than a boggo GTi. I doubt Lancia lost much sleep over it.

 

Those pictures make it look like someone attacked a shitty Golf with a Jetta grille and a tin of brush paint.

 

Not sure what 4x4 setup the Rallye used, but if it's like a Golf/Jetta Syncro, then not only would Lancia have been in hysterics at the performance of it, the only people losing sleep would be anyone that drove it thinking it would be good in snow - still have flashbacks of how utterly shit the Jetta Syncro was compared to the B2 90 Quattro and 405 GLx4 that preceded it. Let alone the Panda 4x4.

[laser wheels]

I believe it was indeed the Syncro.

Tidy 1993 Discovery 3.9 V8:

 

 

 

 

Not the most popular engine, but condition & low miles mean that it's surely worth - what, £1600 - £2000?

 

Keep going...
