Yes I can sympathize the frustration of receiving offers £100-150 less than the asking price, but that's it's value. Who is going to pay more than scrap value for it? What are they going to do with it? It's shitty Pug 107 that's accident damaged (structurally), out of MOT for over a year and it's done over 180k miles! It's no good to go back on the road, and if I was looking for a donor engine and/or gearbox I wouldn't be using one that's done 180k miles! 'I have no idea how the radio works.' You turn the set on and listen to it. If you don't like what's on you re-tune to another station. If you like static suffused Europop from Holland, press the AM button. 808 Estate, CaptainBoom and Datsuncog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interesting idea but technically it shouldn't be on the Orion's reg having been modified structurally that much. Looks like it was done well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however enjoy listening to that Mike bloke on the Britannica Restorations Ltd channel. If you're into old Land/Range Rovers and the occasional 2008 Yaris, he always has something interesting to say, or giveaway. He's from Yorkshire, but based in Quebec, Canada.

To be fair that's Jonny Smith, he did co-host Fifth Gear for 10 years.
