[Guest]

That Regata has my name on it. Might put a sneaky bid in.

[Gompo]

 

£3.5k sounds a bit steep, especially as the roof is looking very tatty round the edges.

 

 

Their prices are often steep as as far as I am aware it's essentially a 'collection' of cars - I think the owner just puts a high-ish price on most things and if he gets it fair enough, but he doesnt need it per-se.

Top Gear 'look-a-like'

Spitting image innit:

However, I am liking this:

 

 

Not cheap though

 

I'm loving this too, to be honest:

 

 

No yellow Skoda Fun crap for me thanks..

 

'Ford' pickup

Another tatty-but-nonetheless-quite-cool old commercial. If this was a 7.5-tonner I'd be all over it. Alas it's bigger than that and I don't have an HGV license.

I thought (though I have been known to be completely wrong) that you can drive a historic commercial vehicle on a normal licence if said vehicle is taxed as such, and not used for transporting goods?

[wuvvum]

I think you can if it's pre-1965. This one is 1966, which is a bit of an arse.

[brammy777]

That Austin lorry must be a really late one as i always thought they stopped production in 1964, it was also marketed as the Morris FF and FH, and they were replaced by the FJ.Weird though.

[Lankytim]

Take a couple of leaves out of the springs and have it downrated to 7.5 tons. Easy peasy.

[UglyAmerican]

This is too revolting to even be ironic. Six cylinder engine. 17 bids, currently at 1800, reserve not yet met.

 

Unfortunately there are probably people who would pay up to 4 grand for this.

Ah damnit, I sold a one of those with MOT for a penny a few years ago... Aaand the numberplate was 'POO'. Bloody hindsight!

indeed you can.........the line is transporting goods for commercial gain

That Jag has defo been on before, same seller too. Last time I saw it must have been two years back now.

[Guest]

1986 BMW M535i Automatic

 

Done a lot of miles, I like these though.

 

1980 Triumph Dolomite 1300 HL

 

Didn't know you could get a 1300 HL, thought the 1300 was only a base model.

[M'coli]

Why does this look familiar??? Oh, yeah, I sold it to a guy from Northern Ireland last month! It's a grand more than I was asking...

[Guest]

1991 Ford Granada Scorpio Cosworth

 

Excellent! I'd love to hoard one of these away just so it doesn't end up having its mechanicals ripped out and shoved into a really stupid-looking kitcar.

 

1993 Mercury Sable

 

"Hirst Cabs, whaddya want?"

 

1989 Maserati 430

 

Still like these.

 

1974 Chevrolet Camaro

[michiel]

LOL @ Hirstzibit.

 

 

Just BAD, no ass.

 

They do make up for it by selling a Panther De Ville ('modelled on the Bugatti Royale driven by Al Capone' - did he?), Olds Toronado 7 litre FWD FTW!!! and these beauties:

1988 Austin Mini Mayfair

 

Nice to see a scabby unloved-looking Mini for a change. If I had a Mini it would be a scabby 80s one, probably a "City".

 

1980 Austin miniMetro L

 

Poverty spec! YES.

 

1972 BMW 2500 Automatic

 

"Herscht Cabs, vot do you vont?"

[Rod/b]

That Metro is lovely, it's the same as my Brother's first car, less the rampant rust.Wrong wheels and steering wheel, if you want to be picky...

[Guest]

1982 Peugeot 104 GL

 

Excellent! Have to wonder what the ratio of 104s remaining to the amount sold is.

 

1955 Land Rover Series 1

 

Bloody typical, I only left it parked there for ten minutes.

 

1970-something Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6

 

Hey good effort there, fantastic ad, seriously! Nice work.

 

1988 Ford Escort 1.3 Popular

 

This is excellent, bet it reeks of "Drum" and has loads of spent scratchcards in the passenger footwell. I would drive it around wearing some two-stripe tracky bottoms with a face full of despair.

[mouseflakes]

Haven't they even used (at least some) of the exact wording from your ebay listing too? Cheeky!

[trigger]

1972 BMW 2500 Automatic

 

"Herscht Cabs, vot do you vont?"

That's lovely that, I seem to recognise it though, Had it been on Retro Rides?.

Not sure about the odd colour headrests though and why is it advertised as having classic car insurance?.

[M'coli]

Yup! The buyer was sound, though, and if he can sell it over there and make a wee profit for himself, then good luck to him.

[Guest]

1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS

 

I absolutely love these, just look at it! Imagine how much mystery and excitement one of these could add to your life. You could "tail" people in it, park down alleyways, sit in it and drink coffee out of white paper cups, put a body in the boot. Truly a multi-purpose vehicle!

[Cheggers]

"Not sure about the odd colour headrests though and why is it advertised as having classic car insurance?."I'd imagine it easily qualifies as a classic for insurance purposes.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Is it possible to have your mate hand you something in a folded newspaper through the window of this car? Maybe while you're drinking that coffee.

Wow! This looks very nice at sensible money start price. Wonder what it'll go for?

Yeah I reckon that would be feasible, obviously you would need to finish the coffee at this point and chuck the empty cup on the dashboard with the rest of them.Obviously the boot wouldn't just be for bodies, you could also use it for storing a slim aluminium suitcase which may or may not contain a broken-down rifle with a really snazzy scope.
