2008 Chevrolet Epica 2.0 straight six - €1295

https://www.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/2008-chevrolet-epica-automatic-6-cylinder/26600083

Only ever saw a few diesel Epicas around; never knew they did a 6

I've kind of wanted one of those for a while, purely for the transverse straight six. I remember thinking it was a weird thing to for such a dull car when I read the Autocar first drive and weird trivia about dull cars is my soft spot

Front wheel drive recovery trucks always seem like a stupid idea to me, this one even more so.

For sure there are some disadvantages with traction and maybe drivetrain longevity but the benefit would be greater capacity and easier loading.  For a one man band shite moving service with a post 97 licence it would be the better option I reckon.

Can you imagine how utterly fucking ridiculous you would look driving that? There is not one single redeeming feature. 

It's got the new style BMW grille 😄

Things like this just seem like a waste of time, effort and money to me but each to their own I suppose!

I rather like that.  There is a faint alarm bell ringing though, because it's listed as an 1800 engine, which wasn't available in 1970-71.  Of course it could easily have had a replacement fitted in a 50-year life!  Appropriately, it's in Bedford, Bedfordshire.  Where else would it be!

 

Watching, obviously!

"TM" is a local registration too.  It's quite possible the truck hasn't been more than a few miles from home in its entire life!  Could even have been part of the press fleet...

I know, it's not like it was a marginal one like emissions! 

 

That second fail makes me think it's much worse than the MOT history makes it look 

Well, the seller has been good and sent me some pictures. They arent the best (understandable) but I recon this one will take a fair chunk of 2mm steel to fix up. Terrible pictures. I know.

First registered on 1 August 1992 in Manchester, the car was delivered to Torevell, Mahon and Granville Limited, a financial consultancy still in existence today. Being owned by financial consultants, it seems unlikely that heavy samples were carried; just paperwork.  However, I suspect that a few motorway miles were built up (there are light stone chips on the bonnet) but the car was serviced regularly at Horners Limited, Manchester at 6,530 miles, 12,500 miles (1 October 1993) and 23,796 miles (12 January 1995). The 36,000 mile service was performed at Three Counties Garage, Malvern (36291 miles on 29 May 1995), suggesting that the company moved the car from Manchester to Worcestershire.

AAArrrghhh, just f***ing kill me now

I’ve got vague memories of one of these (possibly in gold?) on here a few years ago. Can anybody remember happened to it?

This one’s a little tatty, but has years mot. Can’t be many other running cars this rare for £1295 any more

It was a Riviera, so a bit bigger than that.  I bought it off Bramz, sold it via roffle and it was won by Sealtainn, who then spent a small fortune getting the ABS sorted.  It may or may not then have gone to Bulgaria.

Mysterious and scary Nova for £500 in Heathrow. Reveal your secrets Mr Nova

 

 

That's got to be a scam or hoax of some sort,  probably worth six or seven times the asking price absolute minimum.
