Saw that very car driving about a week ago, photos definitely flatter it as the paint looked even worse in person. For £5,750 I reckon they'll be holding on to it for quite a while...

£575 to the local banger racers would be more apt. They’ve gone for a suede finish I see.

Translation of description

Apart from the price there is so much wrong with this car.

Anyone who advertises any car for a million quid without even vacuuming the carpets can get in the sea!

You could quite easily buy this https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1781631

more bling and better spec car in the UK for 18k and ship it to NL and have a LOT of spare change from a million euros.

I can only assume those guys in the Netherlands have been partaking of serious amounts of mind altering substances

Trust me for most classics you don't need a key.

Is £4,000 a good price for this mark 1 Mondeo? Looks a little rough but 75,000 miles and just passed the MOT according to the FB advert. @KWhite

That's way overpriced. Good Mondeos are still only in the £1500-2000 ballpark so they might just manage to get half of what they're asking if they tidied it up. As it stands it's probably worth around a grand.

@ProgRocker I agree with @quicksilver It's a nice car, but Mondeo's just aren't there yet

Not only is this SUPER RARE compact £12,500, it’s also a 316.

The ten page description is "Ty Delorean" fantastic, all over a low mileage compact with an M-Sport body kit, 1 series interior and the bottom range engine nobody likes. You could get a top of the range E30 325i for much less and they're genuinely desirable.

Quote

To date this project has cost me £5,150.00 in parts alone and this is not including the cost and valuation of my private cherish 5 digit registration mark (CINFO) which stands for CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. Valued alone at £8995.00

Keeps up with Golf GTI’s and Honda R Types no problem, due to its lightweight body. Engine can be tuned to increase its performance.

At 115 bhp, certainly nippy and as quick as the Mark 1 Golf GTI at 110 bhp, or the iconic Escort Cosworth top end was only 149mph.

They can't, and I had to push my 316 into my parking space when it killed the battery and nearly prolapsed my intestines, they are 1.5 tonnes.

We had a Citroen AX years ago with metric wheels and found new tyres were far more expensive than for inch based wheels. Has the situation changed at all?

Well, yes. Instead of being expensive, they're simply not available any more. (There may be exceptions for race/rally tyres, I'm not sure). 

I saw a set of four on the bay a while ago but of course they were pre-date stamp so effectively prehistoric. 

The chances of finding a set now in the right size that aren't dessicated are basically zero. Which is a shame because I really like that Maestro/Montego wheel style. 

I have idly wondered if the bead faces on metric wheels could be turned down on a big lathe to some inch-friendly size.

I've forgotten why they brought in metric wheels, or why they didn't catch on gain more traction. @yes oui si?

There was a time when my wife had a metro 1275 sport that you could only get the tyre that fitted from one manufacturer and in 1996 I didn't want to spend £65 each for them.  But scrap yards were full of Rusty metros, so you could buy a set of 4 wheels and tyres for £30 . And if you looked you could find them as new, metro having failed the mot for rust. 

I nearly bought a set of metro turbo wheels which were imperial 13 inch, but the tyres were fucked and whilst it was a better long term solution at the time cash flow was nearly negative.

Apart from the USA everything in Engineering is metric.  

Given that 80% of cars are not made in the USA, you'd think the conversion to metric wheels would have been much easier.  Especially as the sizing has mm for the width.
