But 30 K ???????????????????????????

I believe this was at the London to Brighton Mini run that I went to earlier in the year. I was in my father in laws Riley Elf which was on the line up of 50 cars marking the 50th anniversary, This mini was also there representing 1968. £30k does seem far too steep for it though!!

It's got quite a history though.

 

EDIT:

 

Here you go:

6 (from the left) in 1 down is that mini.

1 (from the right) in 1 down is my father in laws Elf. It's a 1965 one. I'm sat in the passenger seat.

“Hello is that Demon Tweeks? I’m looking for a massive piece of checker plate to close off the cabin of a project I’ve made a right arse of. How much?!!! I’ll just have some seat covers thenâ€Â.

[Pete-M]

Not from e-bay, but HOW MUCH?!http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/1325544995.html

I'd have thought that was about right for an LS6 engined Chevelle convertible in perfect condition.It's about $150,000 more than anyone in Europe would pay for it, but hey, fools and their money...

[morris_ital_lover]

One reason for the price may be that there are only a couple of minis in orignal police trim/with police history as they were all shagged by the end! I only knew of one until I saw this one!

[morris_ital_lover]

Looking at that ebsite maybe I understood wrong! But I think you have OLDSKL COPPER prices combined with OLDSKL MINI prices on that one as well!m0rris

Nice,, but £1K worth of Nice? I think not.

[pogweasel]

£1000 for a whole car? That's good!

 

How about £1000 just for some bits of metal.

Incredible.

Insane more like.I got a new Ford wing thrown in with my Escort, and decent replica steel wings aren't even £100 each.

[Father Ted]

Mexico wings differ from Pop Plus wings how? Madness.

That's kinda identical even down to the OKD reg to one that was exported to America a few years back...

[Pete-M]

They're more expensive... exactly the same, just cost more.Mk1 Mex wings are different, but you know that already.

[Albert Ross]

They are different. The wheelarch protrusion is larger on the RS/Mexico. I had a pair of these about 20 years ago, sold for close on 200 quid with scabby bits on, genuine brand new old stock. Rescued from a demoiltion of an old garage....they were about to be squashed by falling masonry after a structural failure. Woohoo...paid for an overdrive!

Ooooh!

Even with the rarity, that's still alot for something that looks quite crispy though.

[pogweasel]

Ex-plod V70 is an appealing idea, but what the hells going on with the price of this one?

For comparison, the rest of the 5-0 selection:

That does look hot...

I'm not bothered about the few rust spots

Hah, you're selling the bloody thing!

[Pete-M]

How many 2 door Granadas do you want? If you make me a list, I'll bring a transporter load over.

On a Mk1, yeah. On a Mk2, they're exactly the same.

[Albert Ross]

Yeah, they ARE Mk1 wings like!

[Pete-M]

Oh shit yeah.

What on earth, why? I wonder if the thickies are going mental bidding on it because of the seller mentioning some 'special' tax band.Here's a much nicer, newer one for half the pricehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2005-VOLVO-V70-SE ... 0414856085

[Albert Ross]

Curiously, DVLA have it down as a diesel (Heavy Oil) is that not an offence to have incorrect registration details on record? Should the Yorkshire forces be concerned?The vehicle details for YX02 EVU are: Date of Liability 01 01 2010 Date of First Registration 01 06 2002 Year of Manufacture 2002 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2319CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Heavy Oil Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour WHITE Vehicle Type Approval null The information contained on this page is correct at the time of enquiry. Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle 6 Months Rate £104.50 12 Months Rate £190.00

also please note that this car falls into the old style of tax band of 1300 or above as the police do not keep CO2 records of the car for tax purposes it could not be classed into the new extortionate tax bands

Nothing special there, it just doesn't have the CO2 Emissions registered with the DVLA when new, just like plenty of other cars. Police Service vehicles are tax free anyway.

Apologies all , I'm a little late on this thread but that Rancho just HAD to be posted. Not local to me but someone on here must live near it...Will try to find the correct thread for next time

[FredTransit]

Now you mention it, I get confused between 'Tat' and Bargains', which is which?

[Milford Cubicle]

eBay tat is for general eBay finds, this thread is for comically overpriced finds.

[FredTransit]

Ah, OK, got it now.....
