What have you bought from the ebay tat thread?

[DVee8]

Has anyone here ever bought anything we have put in the ebay tat thread?

 

If so what did you get?

Did it go well? Do you still have it?

[laser wheels]

Yep. Bought the Sierra two days after joining the forum last December.

[panhard65]

Too many I really should stay away from it

[wuvvum]

Several.  The LNA and the Alpine spring to mind, but there have been others.

[dugong]

The Charade came from someone spotting the eBay ad. 

[seth]

It was a while ago, but this.

A couple a rover sd1 2300 and a rover 213

[Cavcraft]

I'm pretty sure I've bought three or four, and bid on absolutely loads.

[HillmanImp]

Amazingly we are in 8 replies and nobody has posted a link to a peugeot 205 mistaking this for the actual ebay tat thread.

First this:

 

And then this:

 

Overall it isn't a good thing for my bank balance.

Erm, from memory  the Beta Spyder, Renault 25, Citroen XM & Galant Sapporo came from the tat thread ... possibly others.

I still have the Spyder, as seen at Chumley this year and the Galant Sapporo, which is very broken, possibly needing a new engine.

That is lovely.

So where did the white hen.come from?

[Matt]

Nothing but probably because nothing has been all that close with an MOT. Probably best for my bank balance that I don't have storage space.

[KruJoe]

Yep:

 

 

To be fair, I found and posted the Samara in the hope someone would save it. Nobody bit, so I had to do it!

 

 

That grinning goon is not me by the way, pics from the ebay ad. How bad could it be?

It looked like fun anyway, so I won it for £87.10. Recommissioning currently under way.

[Jim Bell]

I was confident that I had bought loads, but upon investigation, I dinnat think I ever have bought a tat thread car. Just cars direct from members.

I am so disappoint.

[Junkman]

The Mitsubishite.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Probably bought something. Definitely sold something on the tat thread: the laughter that produced was what made me start reading the forum threads.

[drum]

Yes.

[spike60]

Not sure if it counts as I posted it then won on it anyway after giving it a chance run the bids up..... Sold it couple of weeks ago. 924.

[skattrd]

If there's something I want on ebay I don't post it in the tat thread ... the less people looking/bidding on it the better if I'm bidding on it.

[Vantman]

I bought this via the tat thread,ran it for two years then sold it for a little more than i paid for it.

 

[RedSparrow]

Yeah, an MG Metro and a BMW E30.

[SambaS]

My Polonez was in Volume 2 before I was on the forum. I think the Samba Roller may have been in volume 3

[Skizzer]

All my current tat except the Golf (eBay, before I discovered AS) and Dedra (found in a barn) comes from the tat thread.

 

Well priced and is a good 'un, if a bit frilly in places - seller is a very good egg:

On the tat thread although from Gumtree - I probably overpaid slightly but I'm happy with it:

1976 Renault 16TL by Skizzer, on Flickr

 

This appeared on the tat thread and Scooters bought it, but then accidentally won a Triumph 2000 at the same time so I took it over.  Needed a fair amount of work, still ongoing, but it's basically pretty sound with a lovely interior and was well cheap:

Less successfully, this was also on the tat thread.  I got as far as putting down a deposit and getting the seller to MOT it, but it turned out to need so many things doing that I walked away.  I lost the deposit but saved myself thousands.

[sporty-shite]

The current ZX diesel clunker was a tat thread posting. More have come from members, though.

[Negative Creep]

No, don't think I've ever even bidded on one. Usually anythign interesting is too far way to bother with

[capsuleboy]

Where do I start, 2 Mark 1 Espace's, 2 Renault 18's, a lovely and for once local Citroen BX, an early Fiat Panda, plus more I can' recall. Oh and I am picking up a Daf 33 thanks to another thread next week...

[coalnotdole]

I think I bought the red rebel after seeing it in the tat thread,

[hairnet]
