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.

[bramz7]

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.

When will people realise that rare rarely equates to desirable?

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.

To put that in perspective...

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...'

Heres a bargain for you all, just £3700 for this tidy but unremarkable Fiat Croma 8v diesel

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-07-FIAT-CROMA-1-9-JTD-DYNAMIC-MULTIJET-8V-5D-120-BHP-DIESEL/264416266020

If thats too cheap for you you can buy it on finance and pay a total of £4300 for it. I reckon its about £750 worth in the real world.

 

 

[mk2_craig]

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. 

 

 

PS. FUCK YOU PHOTOBUCKET

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. 

[Skizzer]

Ok it’s the 2.2 five pot, but it’s 2wd, scruffy, done over 150k and been laid up for 9 years.

I’m seeing one too many 9s in £5,999.

Any idea of what it's actual value is? Last one of those I bought cost me 75 quid, how times change lol Love that off beat noise they make.

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

A tatty project like the white one - maybe a grand or so?

[cort16]

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.

1984 VAUXHALL CARLTON 2000 GL AUTO RUST FREE BARN FIND ORIGINAL RETRO CLASSIC

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?

I’d bet good money that it has had a proper shove up the arse, boot floor kinkier than you wish your missus was.

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.

[carlo]

Thanks all the same, but I think I'd rather buy 3 Lancia Gamma Coupes, or maybe 3 Fiat 130 Coupes instead.

funny, because when I lived in Cheshite it did fuck all but drizzle when it wasn't pissing down with rain.

A good day was when moisture just hung in the air

'205 with a boot'

The 205 has a boot, last time I checked. 

 

Also 50mpg from a TU3 is incredibly unbelievable.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Cheshire the location of the UK's largest salt mine ?

Yes. Used for document archives mainly. There will be a file on each of us down there.

Salted away.
