Another pre-facelift Mk1 Laguna, minus the dodgy livery. I seem to be in a bit of a 90s Renault mood at the moment.

Yeah, that did come across as twatty didn't it.

  I'm not about to snitch on anyone, because there's always been a small percentage of cars on sale by people who bought them to make a profit and lie about how they got hold of the car, in order to pretend that they are genuinely private sellers.  So it's always been buyer beware.  And in any case. There's always been private sellers prepared to lie through their teeth. 

In this case he's honest enough to intimate that he's really a small time dealer.   

I think you could say that about half of us on here are "small time dealers"......mind you, most of us seem to have possibly misunderstood that the object of "dealing" is to make money...........

The titanic was running perfectly too last time it was out.

Garishly coloured CL500 with a full test for £1,650. He's in Scotland, so if @cort16 is feeling brave/pissed/lucky, or @DodgyBastard reads the listing and sees the vendor wants to swap for a 190E, we could have a winner*

I don’t care that it’s £10k, this looks spectacular

Agreed that it's a stunner and that price for such a rarity is largely irrelevant. 

However, the fact it's survived in the gorgeous Maltese climate for the last 40 years, only to be dragged to our damp, salty isle makes me a little sad. I always loved seeing the old motors when visiting Malta as a kid - it was great to see cars which had become rare over here due to rot. 

I'd be surprised if there are any mk1 Escrots remaining there by now.

That's silly cheap for a running and driving Vitesse. Last MOT ran out in 2015, so theoretically it's not totally rotten. Maybe.

I’ve noticed this as well. Malta isn’t a huge place, but in recent years, it seems like a huge amount of interesting old stuff is being brought over here from there. It can’t be long before most of it is gone. You could certainly make the argument that these old cars form part of Malta’s identity, so taking all of them away does seem a shame

Totally agree. Malta is a better place for them. Supply and demand wins though and the Maltese have clearly worked out it's financially rewarding to sell their non-rusty classics for large sums to deranged Brits!
