'just bloody scrap it' - the eBay 'fuck me, what were they thinking' thread

[Talbot]

The type 9 gearbox and high-ratio diff will be worth the current bid price alone.  Plus sell off a few parts and weigh in the rest.. there's still some profit in it.

Was gonna say the 2.3D rear differential is worth a few quid

Have we ever had an MOT'd car on this hallowed thread before?

One with no visible dents, or serious rust?

Once with all mechanicals and interior, glass and panels present and correct etc?

A car which even still runs if you bring a battery and fuels

Oh dear, what can the matter be? 405 got sprayed like a lavatory....

"needs to be manually filled with petrol'..............that looks like it was once a half decent car until a wannabe Tracey Emin got hold of it.........

The gearbox ratios are useless in anything else.

I can recommend these to whoever buys it

Eye bleach required. Do not read the blurb as your brain will melt due to the lack of punctuation or sense.

Think the ad's gone. That's a shame, the father in law's after a small 4X4, was going to send him a link

[SteersWithThrottle]

Could be the farcebook marketplace distance filter. The maximum I can set it for is 500km  😠

[Floatylight]

Only £4350 for the pair...

This doesn't really 'want scrapping m9'. but the wheels sticking out like that make my teeth itch given the rest of it does a passable job of pretending to be a Westminster floppytop. The low profile tyres are all wrong too.

Is that Clem Carlos Fandango?

Indeed it is

The seller won't take any less than the asking price or that's how it was when I spoke to them, still at £500 you would at least get a cheap 1275cc engine and gearbox, the rest just needs breaking and crushing

At least the VIN plate has been removed from the body and is present wih the V5, so the vehicle can be "restored" or given "TLC" through being bolted onto someone else's RS Turbo.

What's a full resto if that needs light resto? 

[leanycan]

The seller has been painfully honest in this advert .

He isn't wrong about the brave part, especially with the pile of bits he has collected off his garage floor as it has slowly disintegrated over the years.

Now here's a real shed:

I am pretty sure this is a fake advert... but it has certainly gave me a laugh.
