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.

It IS "ammaculate" though. I was expecting to see some massively-specc'd / racing sprint, at least.

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.

That looks great. I'd buzz off of it.

People think it's a plus, because they have no rust. Just like this one ... oh, wait.

my linkage-fu is weak at the minute but HOW FUCKING MUCH?£16500 BIN Dollyhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1976-TRIUMPH-DOLO ... 4a9de71eb2Must be a pisstake

I see some wag has bid 99p, anyone off here?
He has adjusted hie slightly optimistic BIN.....................]

I MADE A MISTAKE WITH PRICE WITCH SOME-ONE KINDLY POINTED OUT THE BUY IT NOW IS £1600 AT LEAST I GAVE YOU ALL WATCHING A GIGGLE LOL

problem is he hasn't changed the BIN, just says in the text he has. If somebody clicks on it, technically they are liable to pay the original amount, and the seller is liable for the fees on the original amount. Looks like another great example of a seller not understanding ebay.....

Unless they have been buggering about with it again, fees on motors are fixed. Maybe it's you not understanding ebay... ;)

I thought there was a percentage of the final sale fee? Just like live auctions. It's the reason many people just sell off ebay, saying stuff like 'item no longer available' Yes, the listing fee is the same, but you can't tell me ebay would be just as happy to let you sell your car for ten grand or a hundred quid for the same fee to them.

GR8 4 Mini owner?

I sold a load of walnut Mini bits for a mate a couple of years back, including cappings. Fetched a faintly ridiculous amount as I recall! I also sold some bent and rusty kickplates and a rubbish aluminium doorhandle set for a fair whack too. Mini owners, love them!

Wow, that fire engine appears to be on fire all the way round the bottom.edit: Ah, it's just convincing vinyl.There is one of these twat-mobiles on the Wirral. It's an actual fire engine, but the fire brigade must've taken the set of ladders off before sale as it's now fitted with an old aluminium step ladder. :lol::lol::lol:
