Feel the love and effort put into this ad for a £2500 Xanita

Looks in great* nick

I know where that Xantia is. It was a really nice car but I think it was hit while parked outside his house. Its been under a cover for a while, I think at that price it will be there for a long time yet!

£450 for a dashboard in not particularly good condition.

I've just got my pocket calculator out and extrapolated that, with parts at these prices, my Sceptre is now worth approximately £3.8million - which is a bit of a result tbh.

Supplied new on the 27th September 1982 to a Dr Edwin Mansell before being sold to long-term owner two years later, Mr Roger Little. Mr Little purchased the car from Brian Stevens Cars in Enfield, specialists in one owner low mileage cars for £5,795. Being the conscientious type, he opted for the Used Vehicle warranty for peace of mind and the car has remained continually garaged and used sparingly with old MOT certificates validating the low 41,135 miles. Such was his fondness and devotion for this car that a second daily vehicle was purchased so his pride and joy 244 could remain carefully stored with wheels off the ground in the heated garage! In 2019 Mr Little made the difficult decision to sell his pride and joy and KGF Classic Cars were delighted to find the next appreciative owner, Mr David land Levitt, an avid Volvo 200 Series enthusiast who has owned many examples, both in the UK and while living in the USA. Wanting to preserve the car in prime condition, Mr Lang Levitt paid £250+VAT per month to have the car garaged in an underground car park near his home in Central London and he even purchased a tailor made and very expensive cover which he has kindly gifted to stay with the car. A major service was also carried out under his ownership. A change in employment role now requires Mr Lang Levitt to travel extensively and he wishes not to use the car as an everyday vehicle

You did better than me, I gave up at 'Passengers can enjoy one of 14 air outlets to produce efficient distribution of hot or cold air....'  

They do get some amazing stuff but the descriptions are hard work

Ha! Seems it’s a Peugeot from the badge, and a xanita from the description. Worth £500?

Sometimes things just ‘dovetail’. Still for sale but....... MEGA PRICE REDUCTION WARNING. Book that 1 way train ticket now!

2 pages later........Step this way sir. Only a one way train ticket is needed (assuming it’s long train journey obviously, if it’s a short journey you are safe to book a return)

Good? Not sure, bad? Definitely, ugly? Absolutely 

 

[somewhatfoolish]

7 large for a P38 with a shonky wrap in an admittedly pleasing shade of YELLOW? Good luck with that.

Alongside "powered by fairy dust" graphics this kind of thing will be banned when I'm dictator. 600 beer tokens for these offences against taste and decorum.

I'm sure someone would paint the tyre valve to make it look like Teddy has his winkie out

Anyone sporting these should be taken away and quietly killed.

it was believed to be owned by sir Elton John I have tried to get the authenticity proved but got as far as an email back from his management company saying they remember the vehicle but he is to busy to deal with this type of request again

I agree with 'powered by fairydust' but Ronal Teddies are ace. They are stupid money for what they are though I agree. If you hate these you should also look at Intra Koalas.

There have been some teddies made into split rims over the years which look even better as well.

[RoadworkUK]

At risk of reprisals, I concur that Ronal Teddies are awesome. I mean, I wouldn't have them on my own car, nor condone their fitment among my friends or family, but they amuse me.

[bezzabsa]

I much prefer these

Those of you who enjoyed the 55-grand tarted-up old Range Rover, might equally appreciate this wrong-hand-drive bodge job from the same seller

It has been constructed from a bare 1991 rust free bodyshell which has been 'future-proofed' to stop corrosion and has been externally 'backdated' to look like a 70’s car

"it was re shelled in 1992 in to a road spec shell, I have a receipt dated in 92 for the shell"

"...sold strictly as a non runner,  ideally it's easier to re shell it,  to save all the confusion"

Do that and this will have been three different cars with the same vin. Trigger's fucking broom.
