this might just catch on you know.

 

Rather that buy a terminally rusty late 1980s Range Rover why not save yourself a world of pain and just buy the V5.

 

Range Rover Classic 1988 chassis & v5, chassis is scrap & now gone

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/range-rover-classic-1988-chassis-v5-chassis-is-scrap-now-gone-/323276732105

 

£695 BUT FREE POSTAGE!!!!

 

think of all those welding consumables you will save.

How could he have the nerve to do this?! Can one let the DVLA know its been scrapped without the actual V5?

 

Makes my blood boil... :angry:

£97500 for that RS1600i?

 

God almighty - I like them loads, but that is taking the piss.

A C140 S-Class coupe is very high on my want list, especially in black (two tone black/dark grey would be even better). But 29k for one is a bit excessive... Especially with clear swirl marks in the paint and a bodged back box...

Would you rather have 1300 British Pounds Sterling...…

 

 

or would you rather have a Ford Transit Luton that has been painted with a paint brush/roller in a green/black combo???

Owner has updated the description with one of the longest MOT failure lists I have ever seen... maybe I've not seen enough but seriously... in that condition wouldn't you know not to bother???

Highlight of it is the tester trying to give the owner a hint to scrap it in the failure criteria:

 

"Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded Inner wing wheel arch to out rigger to step. Full of filler and news paper too! (2.4.A.3)"

Escort Mk3 RS1600i with 97500 miles for under £2k.

 

Oh, wait a minute . . .

It has one more MOT fail on record than my Rover;

FAIL

1,915 miles
MOT test number
6764 7067 4157

That makes the Ronda worth at least £130k shirley

Knock a zero off and you reach something approaching the actual value of a 140 Coupe.

When I first saw this I thought it was a bit over priced. They are rare cars in Spain as most imported  Ford saloons of this class size were Taunus'.

Having done some searching it is not so over priced as I at first thought.

If it's as good as it looks, £9000 is about right. It has all the correct bits including the impossible to find leather GXL gear knob.

 

I like it.  :-D

This one here with <9000 miles and a Turbo Technics conversion from new recently sold for 46 grand at auction.

Rally jacketed fool/money = soon parted.

 

These were shit.

 

Shitter than an XR3i.

 

It was based on a shit car, it had a shit engine, shit brakes and very good seats. Several cars - the Astra GTE being one, and the Alfasud Ti GCL being another - were so much better because they were decent cars in base form and not some shoddy CVH powered shitbox.

 

97 grand. FFS.  :roll:

It would be a terrible shame if trading standards turned up at 'dodgy 4x4 spares of Darnall' and went through their entire inventory and seized the lot
