Mainly because it's about 2% as good as a contemporary RS2000.I reckon that Hunter is £3k over the odds.

Its a left hand drive 2001. It came over here in 2005, so its on a 55 plate but is only taxable at £215 per year (win).

That's not right surely? I thought cars were given a registration to reflect their true age or, if that can't be determined, a Q plate.The vehicle details for LK55 ONJ are:Date of Liability 01 03 2010Date of First Registration 01 11 2005Year of Manufacture 2001 DVLA backs it up but it still sounds iffy to me.

Depends where it was imported from. Most limos are on the pre-2001 rate, no matter when they were made.I think it's all to do with who has what on their equivalent of the V5 etc.

But shouldn't it have a 2001 registration?

There's something odd looking about that Hunter. Maybe the tyres are too balloony? Or its sitting a little high?I'd have though 2.5 - 3k would be about right for a museum minty HLS. There's probably only a few left.

I'm inclined to agree about the price.Maybe the Rostyles are Ford 1600E/Capri jobs?

I've seen rostyles on a Hunter and they don't look as wide as those.According to the website he is trying to organise a raffle for the car!

309 GTIs are nice cars, but not quite that nice...

I had one that looked just like that. Didnt rust, went like **** off a stick,lovely interior,handled brilliantly but there was one major flaw......

 

I found out that when my one was made the electrical dept at Peugot were on strike. To keep the line running they brought in a bus load of monkeys from the local zoo, shut them in a room and then sent the 309s in one by one. When they came out the other side they drove them out to the transporters and off they went to the dealers.

 

I actually found some monkey nuts and a bunch of bananas under the back seat once.

I think they are. I think the Hunter ones had slits in the.It doesn't look right to me either. It's not the wheels being wrong, it could be the stance I suppose. It does appear to have a good interior though, which is nice.

Was it like my mates 5 door 309? If you jacked that one up with the door open and the tailgate up while you dicked about changing discs or something for an hour, you would let it off the jack - the door wouldn't shut!

 

Leave it a while and it would regain its original shape, like those flex tech glases that specsavers used to advertise.

 

309 GTi is still an epic hot hatch though. Want! 8)

 

(incidently - was yours wired up by surrender monkeys?)

I had a G plate 309 GTi 3 door. G604CBY I think it was.Went like stink, but used to utterly destroy drop links in no time at all. I only had the thing for about 3 months, fitted a set when I bought it, and it needed another set when it went.Did do a couple of track days in it, mind.I prefer them to the 205 GTi to drive. The 309 can be driven more quickly because it doesn't appear quite as determined to punish you for the slightest mistake.Stupidly, I swapped it for a 205 GTi 1.9.

The door handles on that Renault look different on each side of the car - different shape and position. What's going on there then - some kind of wierd camera effect?

This looks lovely. But surely the market for people wanting to pay £2k for a diesel R18 must consist of approximately no people.

I really really really want this car. It ticks so many boxes in my must have list. If I had a spare 2k I would own this tomorrow.

You want FIVE GRAND for a rather battered old golf with no UK reg, no MoT, no tax and biffed suspension, and you can't be arsed to even put a battery on it to see if it runs?

Unbelievable that. I bet he has tried to fire it up, and found that the engine is seized or knocking or something. 'Ideal for performance upgrade' - he's given up on the engine before he's even started! What a shitehawk. :roll:

 

Anyway its been on there a week and has been firmly stuck at 10% of his BIN price, which is cheering!

It's a swallowtail. My guess: in the last hour it jumps to a trillion pounds. I like that he thinks "never UK registered" is a selling point. "Car for sale! Lots of forms to fill out!".

It's unbelievable how much they fawn over the 'swallowtail', it looks a little neater and purer than the later car because of a few minor trim differences, but the same could be said for early versions of most cars.
