eBay tat volume 3.


Recommended Posts

I like Aerodecks. Alas, being little more than oversized Civics limits their appeal to me, now that I have the latter - the less awkwardly styled Civic does everything as well as the Aerodeck could (barring having cruise control), and the uselessly high tailgate aperture (try getting a bike over it) limits any practical reason to have one. It's even worse than that of the BMW E30 Touring, at least they have a numberplate shaped gap you can string things through without having to lug them 3' in the air. They're cool things, no denying, but they're an even worse companion to my Civic than a 416 is. A Shuttle would be more useful, but I don't like them.

Could probably get some decent cash for the wheels once it's done. Quite a smart looking thing from 20ft.

 

 

It's not even smart looking from 20 miles.

Bfg from here is after a car from the 1930s, 40s or 50s.  I can give no useful advice so I'll just pick ones that are nice.

 

These Rileys are certainly a looker and they come up on eBay fairly often which means that spares are probably available.  This is based on no knowledge at all - it might be that they're all being sold because you can't get a distributor cap for one

This one seems pricey at 20 grand but at least it goes which is important to some people.  I'd have thought parts availability was pretty good for these although it's probably not the same vintage driving experience as something from the 1930s

-GSi so more power innit.

 

ANY PANT WORK IS SHOWN

Previously failed on rust and advisories for delaminated reg plates. Those plates clearly haven't been dealt with, despite the advisories disappearing. Makes me wonder if the welding has actually been done?

Reg is V560MKJ some rust creeping up underneath per last MoT

  • Vehicle structure is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced (6.1.1 © (i))
Not a bad looking WBOD if truth be told

I’ve always wanted to try one of these, not a bad WBOD but a very colourful past! ca16b3fc4cc8eb173e3e71e0f37aa850.jpg

I make that 5 missed opportunities to just fuck that scrote off and have an easier life

No pics as they haven't put them up yet but I see on the listings that there is a 1989 F reg Nissan Sunny going through my local auctions tomorrow. Nice mileage, 2 owners.

 

Leominster Car Auctions

 

Tempted to have a look, not sure what it will make.

I wonder if it's cheaper and easier to replace the cylinder head on a 4-pot Bedford diesel than to fabricate a complete new cab for a Dodge 50-series.  Seeing as how this is MOT exempt an' all.
