The escalating cost of previously worthless 80s "performance" Nissans;

£2895 - Seems salty to me.

£8000 - FUCK!!

£12995 - FUCK ME!!!

-to be fair this last one is super, super clean and is almost certainly the best in existence but these are easily the worst pictures I've ever seen of this car.

 

Let's not worry so much about "performance" and have something cheap to calm us down;

£1250 - Hmmmm....

By which mechanism did this end up at Cowfart?

It was BIN a ridiculously low amount on eBay a few weeks ago.

Strange isn't it. Given the relatively light work needed for an MOT you'd wonder why someone gave up on it.

 

Test date 20 June 2017

  • Test Result Fail
  • Odometer reading 97,646 miles
  • MOT test number 5245 8644 8691

 

Reason(s) for failure

 

Offside Rear Mechanical brake component has restricted free movement (3.5.1k)
Offside Rear Rear fog lamp emits a light other than red (1.3.2e)
Nearside Front Headlamp aim too high (1.8)
Offside Front Headlamp aim too high (1.8)
Nearside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)
Offside Front Windscreen wiper does not clear the windscreen effectively (8.2.2)

2.6-litre 190E.  Given the way the values of these things seem to be going lately, this might not actually be too bad a price, although the seller sounds like he could be a bit of a tit.

So those 75s do develop rot issues after 20 odd years?

Sooner than that. Mine is on a 04 plate and the rear jacking point will need some work this year.

Is that a screen grab from Police Interceptors, just before they rammed it with a marked X5?

My favourite:

Dear Rover apologists

Because I can't be bothered to look , and I'm lazy !!

an you tell me

 

Is this a Honda Engine or a rover one , and how does one tell ?

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-400-1-6-IS-1-VICAR-OWNER-FULL-SERVICE-HISTORY-ONLY-47-000-MILES-NEW-MOT-/142413962120?hash=item2128889b88:g:T1EAAOSw6YtZQDOR

1 VICAR OWNER ....nudge nudge

I believe it is Honda engine with automatic transmission, K series with manual 'box. But no Honda engines once they were Rover 45s rather than 400s.

The Hove based 26k mile Proton is up for sale on eBay again; wonder why its now also for sale on ATrader, at a higher price than was bid first time (£440.00)? Sellers eBay feedback gives a clue . . .

Meanwhile, this looks like a low mileage Protonic bargain:
