Ebay tat

An A-reg golf Gti! Now thats pretty rare, sadly some clown has put later grille and bumpers on it, thus erasing most of its visual appeal.

Still, shouldnt be too difficult to get it back to how it should be. I could quite fancy this.

My friend is attempting to sell this shed:

Despite years of observing how to sell cars "the weasel way", he has naturally ignored any advice I have offered and instead opted for 4 shit pictures of a dirty car taken in the dark, a vague and useless description and a wildly optomistic pricing strategy.

 

I trust that your questions will be sensible. :wink:

a wildly optomistic pricing strategy.

£300 BIN and he's going to include an IRA Vanity Plate? That's not wildly optimistic, that's almost reasonable. It'd probably fetch £450 if it didn't have the Mick history.Then again, I have a habit of only buying stuff off ebay that has bad descriptions and shite photos. If the descriptions are too good I don't bid - no point in buying stuff off there if it ain't cheap and well described cars are either hiding something 'orrible, or priced sensibly. I don't want sensible, I want bloody CHEEEEEAP!

Certainly!

 

Q: Hi mate, is this Project Plastikote? Cheers.

A: No - Plasticote was a Dolomite you idiot!

Oh dear!

Am now trying to get in touch with my brother to see if he wants to go halves on that Cav and fancies a road trip on the weekend. It blows our project into oblivion, condition wise. Bootlid even looks mostly metal, too.Cheers Hirst! :evil: Anyone interested in a Sierra Sapphire.......?

Strong similarities to Ford Falcon styling in that shot. 8)
I had a string of these [and 17/20 m] Taunus [Tauni?] when I was in the Fatherland in the mid seventies. The 15/17's were V4 powered, the 20 [they also did a 26m] were V6's.The 20m had a v6 2 litre, which was as smooth as a smooth thing. Great cars, far better to drive than Cortinas of the same period. The next model Taunus was very similar to a Mk 3 Cortina, and not as nice.

Another Ginetta G26. Apparently Mondeo wheels allow you to fit bigger brakes, unfortunately these look like space-savers and make the whole car look dreadful.

This one was bought for its identification because it's easier to get an old Ginetta registered in Germany than a newer one, and the chassis plate doesn't specify the model.

 

A bit sad really, but it does mean the car is available again. Hmmmm
