Oh aye, you can tell that at a glance.

 

£2950 OBO

Why do people insist on trying to hide the reg number of the vehicle they're selling? Invariably because they have something to hide, and in this case it's the fact that H976BTT is a complete and total rotter. Here's a brief summary of just some of it's previous failures:

 

  • Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Nearside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Offside Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • all under body excessive corrosion
  • both front inner upper wheel arch/flitch areas very corroded
  • Offside Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Nearside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)
  • Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded (2.4.A.3)

Cheap Metro ?.

 

Sit down before looking at the price...

I co drivered on a stage once in one, they were absolute beasts so want to drive one on a stage or two but at that price I will give it a miss and I have seen them for an awful lot less. Its a Metro always a winner in my book, its the bonkers rally version complete winner love love love.

Ads a classic. I love this bit "The interior lights are old but i Have found some replacements".

You ever been to look at a complete basket car and have some owner explain very carefully to you that he has a new very minor part when the whole of the car is a wreck - or been told a bootful of spares when in fact it comprises a box of used brake pads/shoes, some bent trim, a couple of half empty oil bottles and a broken jack? I have.

Saw one of these for the first time yesterday, poo brown it was. Now this is just my sort of shite: awkward looking, sales flop, overpriced and under achieving..   Why not? I thought, and had a look - £14,000! Ludicrous!

This is the only place where a car like that could find love but even dropping a zero off the price would be being a tad optimistic.

The worst thing about that Clio is that it 'sold' on bids for £560 a few weeks back with the same seller. Obviously a deluded fool to think it's got to be worth 7 times more.

Bonhams and Historics would like to send this to auction due to its rarity and miles and 1 owner but I thought I'd give here a go.

 

Yeah, course they did. £250 TONITE M8.

 

What a fucking balloon.

Currently bidding at £200

...and I bought mine five years ago with less miles (18k), more service book stamps, one owner and garaged all its life. For £600. The seller does though sound like he's reading the 'my first classic' textbook with the 'Mr B Butt bought this in 1794 for six shillings...'

WOW I had forgotten that shape Croma existed. I reckon this is the last rhd example I saw. I don’t think it had passed its third birthday at the time.

The words I used to try to buy my grandads old allagro vendurm plush off my uncle who'd been given it and had no use for it. 

It was 1993. So his skint nephew offering £500, was a big thing. He told me it was worth £2000, plate raped the reg EUL 27, and left it to rot in a damp garage for 5 years before scrapping it.

People seem to be asking £5k or so for decent ones, which is a bit more than I’d have guessed.

5 grand for one of them!  it wasn't so long ago thats what a UR Quattro cost. I've had a couple and while they look pretty smart and the 5 cylinders make a nice noise they're nothing special.

If you find the saloon version of that (the 90 CD) they're probably only worth about three grand. I had the 2-ltr saloon for a while in the mid-90s. Very good engine and gearbox. Boot space pitifully small.

A-pillar can rust with alacrity at base of windscreen.

Agreed. They were pretty valueless until recently and have largely disappeared, which together with the silly money Quattro turbos now go for is what’s put asking prices up, I suppose.

And I thought E30s were overpriced. At least they’re fun to drive.

Now I do like these, just look at all the velour:

But this one is 6 grand and it's not exactly perfect:

Seller says "AS FAR AS I AM AWARE THE CAR HAS NEVER HAD ANYTHING REPAIRED OR REPLACED WHATSOEVER" - I'm not convinced that is a good thing.

Is it just shadows, or is there some kind of bodge lurking in both rear wings?

My Audi 90CD was like that. It had been properly shunted (nearside rear) then pulled back out on a jig. The bootlid never shut properly.
