This ,tax free ,coil sprung , Tdi powered Q Plate escapee is registered as a red Rover. No mention of Land Rover or Range Rover, although it’s last V5 was 2012, so the new owner might have some Issues.

Although , I’d be more bothered by those doors rattling away and flying open on bumpy corners.

Not to worry it’s only £40,000, yes that’s FORTY THOUSAND POUNDS!!!

What in the fuck is going on there?! That's an abomination. Yeah, what you really want in a series Land Rover (whether it's coil sprung or not) is a flipping momo racing steering wheel and bucket seats. It must be torture to drive.

 

Also, all that money and effort and they can't even be arsed getting a matching spare wheel:

[New POD]

^^^IF it were registered correctly^^^ would it be a Q plate ? Are you saying the points based system means that the changes are so great that it needs to go through IVA/SVA ? Given that the "changes" are obviously not from the early 80s and are obviously from this millennium, does that mean it's also not tax exempt and is a bit too much of a bitsa.  I hesitate to use the words Ringer as that implies some sort of theft, and at worst they've used the identity and  front panels off a series 3, on a later chassis.  But it's definately a risky purchase. 

 

In 1986, I worked with a guy who had a genuine series 1 pickup with Range rover Suspension, and a 3.9 V8, and fairly wide chunky wheels and tyres.   The chassis matched the V5 but alot was from the Lode Lane parts bin.  How would he fare today ? The changes he'd made were pretty much everything apart from body and chassis, and I assume the chassis would have had to be modified to make the range rover Suspension fit.

£5,995.
An absolutely mint and original rialto is probably only worth 2k and given one of the headlights on this is full of brown water i think it safe to assume it wasn't in mint condition to start with. So probably <1k
No way in fucking hell is there 5 grand worth of work gone into this thing.
Its the wrong model, it was cheap shite to start with. The paint job is already peeling.

what the fuck are they thinking.
If anyone here is considering buying this I'll sell you mine for £4,000. I'll include a brand new tin of yellow dulux house paint and a (lightly used) sex doll for free

Love the picture of the proper van on the wall behind it. Like a mirror image.....

Prices of E30's have been going up for a while, but this seems alot for so little?

Fiver shy of £5k and you get...

About 2/10th of an E30!

£4k starting bids or £9k buy it now for this tired looking 1984 Sierra estate....

with a Pinto engine

[somewhatfoolish]

I have an irrational soft spot for TR7s but £19k? Even for a factory Sprint and a tidy looking one at that, is this dude smoking crack or what?

[lesapandre]

The £9,999 Minx.  Does not matter how silly you make it look it ain't gonna be worth that...

It's not an original rally support car -I don't think it possibly even carries it's original reg.

 I bought one of these with a MoT for £35 in 1983!

Apparently Autovaux are having a 60% off sale. 

I'm not sure they understand the concept of a bargain.

When they are out of stock they put a ridiculous price in. When the part is in they put it down to their lower price. It saves relisting fees (apparently).

I've seen a 6v motorcycle battery at over a grand before, from a different trader.

It wasn't eBay, it was on thier website. It's enough to make me never take them seriously again.

Didnt realise it was their own website. What's the point of that if it puts potential customers off?

[strangeangel]

 

Helix? Yes. Tidy? Yes. Three grand? Get in the fucking sea.

Welcome at any scooter rally!!

 

 

Bollocks! You'd get lynched at a trad rally on this (but only because they're jealous of not needing a support van to ride anywhere outside a five mile radius of their home.

I had no idea that existed, but I love it! It's as if the designers were told "we want the Goldwing but as a scooter!"

It was derived from the earlier CH250 in 1986:

 

 

for the American market; same engine and running gear, but the wheelbase was streched 11", and a whole new set of bodywork designed. We got them in the UK in 1989, but they sold poorly and were gone by 1992. Meanwhile, in Japan, production continued until 2007, where they are still much  loved. They retain a cult following not only in the US and Japan, but - on a smaller scale - here in the UK. Spares availability is good, and maintenance is simple making them very easy machines to live with. There are about fifty left on the roads of the UK, two of which are in my garage. This is my 1986 Japanese domestic market bike - a Fusion. I honestly can't conceive of any circumstances under which I'd part with it:

Plus the misaligned rear bumper, and the rust under the p/s rear tail light................and I've never got the attraction of really low mileage.......or the so called premium it brings

Seller claims it to be MoT exempt, which it isn't.  Not until 2024 at the earliest.

Is this the same model scooter that Sarah Conner owned in the first Terminator film?

Also, how about some colour photos at that price, this isn't Instagram or the '60s

EDIT: it just gets worse the more you read: V90 touring. No number plate in the pics. The grammar and capitalisation...Jesus.  No mention of what makes it "special" beyond the 1 owner. "Double Your Money In 5 Years". Some "patina"...

The same seller is advertising a 5 series estate, amongst other things, which has almost exactly the same wording to the advert.

That drivel isn't really forgiveable once, but to have a potential buyer see that flannel trotted out on another advert must really put them off.

It is as "new",   so the PDI still has to be done. 😉

[willswitchengage]

Don't get me wrong I'd love one of these. But I also love having £2750 in my pocket. 'Only' 100k miles too and with no MOT!

I had to check the mg advert for a laugh.

Sadly no sumptuous interior or spilling power also no mention of 500,000 miles or double your money. Shame.

In this months Classic Cars magazine.

I’ve no idea how you’d go about valuing something like this but no matter how hard I try, I see this as £5-6k max. 
 

[timolloyd]

Tell him you found one on another planet for £10k so will he take £9k?
