Plus cars that have had so little use can have umpteen nasties hiding through lack of use. If it's the original tyres, they may need binning due to age, plus I bet loads of the rubber hoses are getting perished.

 

Agreed. My Sierra had 13,000 miles on it when I bought it from Candor Motors (remember them?) at 10 years old. It looked immaculate and had full history and MOTs to back up the mileage, but as soon as it was pressed into regular use as my daily things started to go wrong and fall off. Now I'd rather have something with a lot more miles under the belt (says he with the low miler diesel) just so things have kept moving regularly.

Mentally impaired? Impressed by an engine rebuild? Don't even want wheel trims or alloys for the money? Then look no further...

£3,500. Which is roughly about £2,750 more than he'd get for it on a good day.

A V reg Corsa? Over the bridge time for it more like! Blithering idiot they are. I wonder if their hobbies include licking windows?

My T reg Skoda only has 75k on it! This bloke is a tool, and will never sell that heap. I bet it had a cambelt snap to have all that work done

That Corsa owner is on another planet, What a fruit!

A car like that is really a museum piece, it would be a waste to use it everyday. Yes 4K for a daily driver in good nick but looking at the economics of restoration the price is about right. Very cheap compared to that 75K Citroen DS that was for sale (and probably still is) a while back.

Price is a bit too salty for my liking, but, paint it red, and instant Patmobile!

[cobblers]

That Grumman is SICK AS! But srsly, I've always wanted one of those. Probably about 3 grand more that I expected it to be worth, but the image of one on a set of torque thrusts or something has been in my head for ages. GR8 4 CAMPER CONVERZION

Plus it's from a company that makes aircraft, therefore automatically awesome

FECK!

[brammy777]

College friend of mine had a Corsa like that, but it was the most crudely done 'replica' ever, it had blue detailing on the dashboard with drip marks resembling a join the dots puzzle, bucket seats which were so wide the doors had to make contact with them to close properly, and reading lights installed on the dash to illuminate it...

Still, those 1.6 Corsas are fairly quick when pushed. Not £6k quick though, irony value in that ad when it says you should contact Barry at the bottom.

some eejit will buy that at the asking price

[Cavcraft]

I don't know so. I'd see that at £1,750-£2,000 on a really good day if it had had a decent C20XE/C20LET conversion but it doesn't even have that.

It's at least four grand over rpiced just because it's been in a magazine or whatever.

There's no appeal to anyone over about 30 at most and 99.9% of people who could afford that sort of money would buy something like a Subaru/sporty car instead.

My old Rover 600 had colour change paint...it went from green to rust in 3 months

Agreed, the price is fookin ridiculous man, £6k for a souped-up old shape Corsa? The lad is clearly operating a long way from reality. He’s probably thought ‘well it owes me £4000 plus i’ve spent 400 hours working on it at, erm, £5/hour, so I want £6k or i’m out of pocket'

How much? Six bleeding grand? No thanks. To be fair, the Corsa B Sport in 1.6 form is quite an underrated sleeper. The 'thinking mans' GSi. We had an 'S' plate one also in Arden Blue which we toured around Scotland in. Cracking little thing, it was. It was completely factory standard and unless you took notice in cars, looked more or less like any other Corsa.

 

However, near enough the lot that are left today have been turned into Chavtastic w**kfodder eyesores like this. What do these people think when they pour money into something that's now beginning to bottom out in terms of value stakes?

[Citroening]

...I think you're slightly missing the point about the Corsa TBH. It's not a run of the mill modded Corsa that's been completed in a weekend, it's the Corsa built in conjunction with Haynes and Maxpower and was the base car in their Modifying Manuals for "Vauxhall Corsa the definite guide to modifying".

 

There's not many cars out there that's had a hardback, near 200 page book written about it and dare I say it...possibly the most famous Corsa in the Corsa world? If you're into your Corsa modifying no doubt a Haynes Modifying manual would have been bought. I have seen the car when it was in the previous owner's hands and I was impressed with it. A complete one-off with an interesting history. It's one of those IMO that's difficult to value. It's out of price range for the younger enthusiast but not the sort of car a collector would really buy. Shame really. However, I wouldn't pay £5,995 for it - I think he's going to have it for a while...

 

 

Still looks in good nick seeing that it was done by Haynes about 8 years ago...well, it's only done 50 miles since the build!

[Felly Magic]

£595 and he may stand a chance.

[Cavcraft]

I see what you're saying but however well it's been done it's not worth half what he wants. Uniqueness may score a few points but at the end of the day you could make a passing replica of that for about £800.

Yes, that one may very well be well nailed together but it's still an over priced chav chariot.

[DSdriver]

Isn't there a Haynes Museum? It would seem the logical place for it.
