£10600 with nearly nine days to go I think that's the Top Gear effect.

[messerschmitt owner]

In 1998 one of those sold for £35000! It isn't the Top GEar effect - they were always expensive! The going rate is still £30-50k!

Wow. Makes Mk1 Escort prices seem positively reasonable...

it is the world's smallest production car, hence the big bucks!

When I were a lad, I thought that vans with sliding drivers doors were the coolest thing in the world.

I still do

Seeing a bloke driving along in a sliding door van, door open, no seatbelt, fag on and probably wearing a flat cap, was about as impressive as it got.

This chaps selling a Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo but hasn't added any photo's yet sadly.

I have another 1988 Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo in silver that has been in storage for 10 years. Unfortunatly this will also be for sale shortly on e-bay.

This guy has had these things on eBay at least 5 times over the last couple of years. I think he wanted about £2000 which is why he's still got em.

Jeez, that Only Fools and Horses limo is without doubt the biggest pice of sh*t I have ever seen. Why the continuing fascination with this programme? Sure it was funny (in 1987) but come on, let it go. I preferred "Allo Allo" but that doesnt mean I want to buy a Traction Avant and paint pictures of Gordon Kaye or Vikki Michelle on it.Local bloke has got a Chrysler PT with load of Star Wars artwork on it. He calls it the "Jedi Cruiser" and I just have to try and get down a pic of it. Possibly the only way to make something awful even worse!

[Milford Cubicle]

 

[Parky]

Yup, thats the one! Where'd you find that?

[M'coli]

/\/\/\ Mil, I can't find the listing for this hideous thing, can you post it up so we can laugh at it please?

[Parky]

I hope to god it doesnt belong to one of us!

[Milford Cubicle]

Sorry, it's not a listing I just tapped 'Jedi Cruiser' into Google image search. I was so intrigued by Parky's description.

[Parky]

I have seen it at my kids school so possibly one of the parents or grandparents. Occasionally see it pottering about South Essex but havent caught sight of the owner. Perhaps they have a bag on their head to avoid being recognised?I'm not a vain person but if I had been hitchhiking in the cold and rain for 12 hours and that pulled up, I'd seriously have to ask myself if I wouldnt be better off waiting for someone else!Despite all that, the airbrushing isnt half bad but I still cant help but ask why. Can you imagine the salesmans face if you tried to PX that thing? "I've got a bad feeling about this" never rang truer.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Are there any un-scened passats of this shape left in the UK?

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1981-VOLKSWAGEN-PASSAT-LS-BLUE_W0QQitemZ180456684402

 

it will definatly have been seen or you myt no it she has so many more years of use and pleasure in her yet. if you want to be noticed and part of the best??!! dubbers!! all the way be part of the rats, euro cars, lowriders and retro madness on the roads today

Eh?

 

re-con head £125

Oh aye, they must have gone to town on that

[Mr Lobster]

What a big POS. Whats with the roofrack anyway? I can sort of 'get' somebody putting an old Cola chiller or branded fuel can on the roof but that looks like someone has emptied the contents of a skip onto it.

[garethj]

I had a Passat of that shape about 15 years ago, but it was a hatchback instead of the estate. It went alright, boring to drive but economical and never put a foot wrong.

 

That thing in the ebay list is grotesque

 

Have we had this yet? Proper OMG RWD DRIFT stuff. Shame it's a bit ugly and difficult to determine how many hours / weeks / years to get it roadworthy

That reminds me of the classic Dead Ringers sketch:

(Crappy quality but you get the gist)

Erm....

HEY! this looks like a bargain, currently £135 with a day to go. Got some english-speaking comedian hassling the seller as well:

Q: Hi Does the 1969 Taunus have the spume injected thacker wacker fitted?

A: sorry i cant help you there because i don't know what that is.

 

He even posted my helpful reply.

[Station]

 

I think that's my 'uber shite' mobile, I'd love that, but I'd never pay £1k for it though.

Now that to me is living the dream, Especially if the van was a Sherpa!

The bloke that's been trying to sell this SD1 2600

 

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C131891/#

 

Has now been advertising it on Retro Rides, he wants £895 ono for it, It was up for £1295 a little while back, It sounds pretty cheap and I'd quite fancy it myself but i have no room, Is it of interest to anyone on here?

[pogweasel]

No thanks. I know a 2.6 is -nearly- as quick as a V8But nearly isn't good enough. (Lovely as it is though!)

[Pete-M]

I bought a Y reg 2.6 SE back in the late '80s. Never again.If it was a proper one with a proper engine, I'd be all over it like a rash.

[trigger]

Why are the 2.6's so unliked then?, I don't know much about them so I'm interested to know.Are they less reliable then the V8's?

A 2400 SD Turbo?

[pogweasel]

V8's sound immense. Hair on the back of your neck kind of thing. The 2.6's sound toss. That is all.

[Autoplas]

 

This vehicle lived in the village of North Stifford in South Essex which is close to Grays & Lakeside

 

The last time I saw it on the driveway of the house it was up for sale and cant recall seeing it since. Whether it still lives in North Stifford or if it now lives elsewhere (meaning someone actually handed MONEY over for this, there is no accounting for taste.....) I really couldnt say

I can understand that, This one drove past me at a show last year with a stainless steel exhaust, it only had 30000 odd miles on the clock and was mint, I nearly jizzed in me pants.
