I am current high bidder on this - I imagine I will be beating Pog off with a shitty stick....

you swine, I was having a poke at that...
I is not high bidder any more :(

 

Its a bit far away for me to justify spending any more, besides I really wank a Mk 2 5 door.

Worrying.

 

 

 

On my personal Holy Grail, this would be it, but at any other time I'd have the wedge to bid by now.

It was all I could do to stop shouting NOOOO! at the computer. I think it could be saved though, but the front end bits are not easy to come by now.

Meh - do it. I bought a BX estate once off eBay for £53 and spent 3 nights sleeping in the caravan when Mrs Ted found out. Best nights kip of eVaH

Lol, wasn't that at the farm where Vanny was based for a while afterwards? One creepy place that was, especially at night. Still the abandoned Mini van growing into the weeds made up for it.

Does the garage there still operate, or is it just somewhere he used for storage?There are one or two similar vans I've seen on the road locally, I presume connected with this chap.

Ludicrously cheap Van Hool coach anyone?

Rear-engined so GR1 4 making into a car transporter unfortunately, and unless the DAF 8.25 turbo engine has significantly more go than the Bedford 500 it could take several weeks to drive it home, but it would weigh in for at least five times its current price. :?

This could make a cheap shite hauler, but presumably you'd have to pay the £200 "charge" to be able to drive it out of the LEZ, which spoils its bargain status a bit...

For one journey you could probably just stick some different reg plates on it, like some with the same number as a Prius or something, then rip em off once you were outside the LEZ! Sorted.

Or just don't bother. A friend of a friend has a 7.5 ton merc on an M plate, he lives in Surrey inside the zone. All he's had is 2 letters saying he's been seen in the zone, and next time there will be a fine. He's out in it every week, so god knows how many times it's been seen. From that, I would say it's all a con and a load of scare tactics.

^Insurance group 7? Thats insane for a 1.3 in a car that small. I think Maestros are the same as that.And the KIA Pride 1.3 is 'only' group 5.

A bit of a late response here, but it may be a high insurance group because of the full length sunroof. Not exactly difficult to cut through and climb in I'd have thought? One of the reasons soft-tops are more to insure anyway.

Garage still operates, but probably as a hobby more than a profitable business. Yard full of 3-wheelers, an old Sapphire Cosworth being parted out and 2 manky old petrol pumps at 93p a gallon (I wish). Lights are always on and they still keep the key to the Castle ruins apparently. Nearly bought some firewood from him but he leaves it out in the rain so didn't bother. The son is an accomplished rugby player I hear, but don't know the details.

Got any pics Tom? I'd love to have a look at the Mark4/5 regal behind the van in that picture. Any 3/25-3/30 saloons too, they get me unusually excited :oops:

Next time I'm home during daylight hours I'll nip across and take some pics. Look out for a new thread for them.
