That’s been relisted every single day for about the last five months, it’s always near the top of one of my ‘newly listed’ saved searches. Goodness knows what’s going on there.

Well you know how to stop that happening, don't you?  Grand Thrift Auto is severely lacking in 1980s Japanese automatic hatchbacks with non-pop-up headlights.

(Although if I was selling a car as "mint", I'd probably go to the trouble of getting a rattle can of matt black from Poundland and tidying up the wiper arms.  And making them park parallel.)

Still remember the first time I drove one of these, thought I was Terry Ten Bollocks.  It was a 4 banger so a bit slow, but sounded great and made you feel like king of the road after a Transit.  Obvs that badge lets it down a lot mind.

I think the days of the Council Estate Elvis are pretty much over now and they've been usurped by the local VAG licker.

I'm with you there Billy!  My first day on a new job I had to take one of these from Southport to Preston, at 3am, with nobody else in the yard.  That was fun...  G150DKC was a six-banger 130, which I think should be about 5.9 litres?  It could go some, certainly!  I often used it for a delivery round in Blackpool, and coming back to Preston it would fly.  I have, naturally, a Corgi Royal Mail Cargo painted up to match... ;)

ETA: I also have a front grille off this model which I was planning to use as a wall ornament in my back yard.  Free if a Shiter can collect...

1996 Fiat Punto GT turbo (GT2)

134k

Mot til November

Virtually standard (stainless exhaust and 30mm springs)

Drives perfectly and no known issues

Drives really well, it’s standard power, standard boost and this is how it should be left, Iv owned high power puntos and to be honest this just drives much nicer how it is and it’s still quick, surprises a lot of other cars on the road

Lots of service history inc timing belt about 5k miles ago inc a cylinder head rebuild

Will need small amount of welding on the passenger sill to floor for the next mot (I have photo & video showing this)

Available from feb 27th as I’m using it until then

Looks like theirs has also left a couple of small presents on the floor, too.

That wall unit will empty itself on the floor after 5 minutes. I'd dig that if the shit cliche graphics were emulsioned over  and the fucking bunting set fire to.

Being pedantic (unlike me I know), the turbocharged 50s (and derivatives) were actually slower top end than the NA version - the turbo Phaser was governed to 2,600rpm, the non-turbo could rev to 2,800.
