I can't figure this advert out?

Buy it now price of £550, but you do get a roof rack and a half ass-embled trailer. 

But what about the secateurs, lighter fluid, scotch-brite pad, sachets of Dijon mustard/ketchup or the other various tat? Because that would really swing the deal for me. :-P

Apparently this chap is locally hated, so says the sticker in the front window. I can't think why?

If that's a 1972 van then I'm Kylie Minogue. 

A EARLY DONOR VAN WAS USED FOR THE BITS THAT WAS MISSING HENCE THE L REGISTRATION 

Aha, now it's coming clearer...

THE MAIN SHELL CAME FROM MALTA WITH A TOYOTA 1C DIESEL ENGINE AND 5 SPEED GEARBOX

Right,,, so all the originality is gone then?  And you want how much???

Classified ad price:

£2,995.00

Oh well that's ok then.

Worth every penny.

Of £25.

Money making idea: buy a £895 Combo van, glue some giant Tuc biscuits to the inside and advertise it for £6,500

The parts of that which offend my eyes the most are the wheel trims. Yeuch!

Supercharged 2000 Bonneville SSEi with apparently just 85k miles for just a grand.

While not the most exciting car out there, for a grand this could be an absolute steal. I think these are rather sleek and the drivetrain will last forever being the indestructible buick 3800.

It would, if I had some space I would have sent him a message already!

I had one just like that 40 years ago.  It didn't cost nearly that much!

I seem to remember the Corsa being advertised with the option of an integrated bicycle rack.

Yep, so do I, although that's the first one I've seen.

Very perceptive @Fabergé Greggs! Sadly I know what an engine rebuild costs, but if it stays cheap... there is that Flavia, though. And the Sierra...

Ain’t it a 2 stroke? If so then you’ve got about 4 moving parts..

That's what I thought! The missing block might be an issue unless @Saabnuthas one knocking about, but even so that's a £5k job...

Conversation at Lancia in the late 80’s:

” Hey Luigi , we don’ta have any budget for designing the new coupe, Cana we do it ourselves?”

” Si,  how difficult can it be to create an elegant coupe when constrained by using an existing floor pan?
“ Thatsa what I thought, these bastards at Pininfarina and Bertone have had their last Lira out of us, get your pencils out”

” Watcha this...”

Especially tragic considering what it could have looked like instead:

Lancia Kayak by Bertone based on the Kappa platform. Give it a little more rear overhang and it would have been perfection.

As it happens I do have a spare block, but £5k minimum. To fully restore that say goodbye to £20k plus, a lot of which will be postage costs from Sweden and the USA.

Plus labour.....
