Fiesta MK1 in AS colours:

That's first-hand proof that Ford designed the swage line on Mk1 Fiestas as a two-tone rot-hiding tidemark limit. You'd honestly never* guess that the bottoms of the sills, doors, rear quarters and tailgate were wobbed to within an inch of their life as the tidemark really does make all the wobbly, crusty bits invisible.

the white one rolls, good mechanics, without rear seats and split windshield without Cg (lost) by the former owner.

The green one is complete except the cylinder head and the corroded front spar, with Cg.

I'm selling both for € 750, which is the price I paid for them two years ago.

can't be many Hillman Hunter Topaz editions left.

Indeed.  Especially since my old one got weighed in under the scrappage scheme.  (Yes I am still bitter.)

And yes, that is fucking stupid money for what it is.

I really want a Dyane, and I might even be able to afford this one (probably not though). How hard would it be to build a Dyane from bits if you don't know your way around one?

If I had to choose a car to build from a box of bits it'd probably be an A-series Citroën.

I always hide the numberplate when selling on eBay or Gumtree.  But then I have been a victim of number plate theft and cloning and I know how much hassle it is to get the powers that be to believe that it wasn't really you who drove past that speed camera at 30mph over the limit.

Yep, my kid sister had that happen to her. She didn't even notice it until I mentioned it to her either (how?!): when she reported it to plod (she and her husband were in a pub at the time), they told her she couldn't drive the car until it had the correct plates restored. Her husband quickly disavowed plod of that idea and invited them to follow them to Halfords via home to pick up the V5, but oddly enough they declined. A *lot* of notices of intention to prosecute appeared before the perps got nicked: speeding fines, failure to pay at petrol stations etc.

That is extremely good value.  If I were you (and you were me) you'd knock on the door, give him £300 and then stick it up on Autotrader for just under £1k.  Then, with that money, buy yourself some car parts and your wife some petrol station flowers.

Very much want, but I'll never afford one of these with prices at the way they are now:

judging by the Iron fencing, and the vehicles parked outside, I'd say they like Dags and caravans!!

It's my birthday tomorrow... I might not need the petrol station flowers to get away with it. 

Not sure I could do with some tard telling me it's only worth 500 quid when trying to sell it though.

Is that Toyota in Claverham or Cleeve, SiC, looks ever so familiar.

Yes! Impressed you can tell from the photo.

Are you local to the area?

Used to be, I grew up in Congresbury and my mother-in-law is still there opposite the Ship and Castle - or the Congresbury Arms as it might be now?

Congresbury Arms I believe was taken over recently and when we went in there last it was very excellent. 

You join a list of other shitters from North Somerset. For some reason there are quite a lot from around here. In Congresbury itself, @PhilA used to be a resident.

We've not long moved down here.

Also it appears that you now live near Sidmouth, cycle and also called Simon... My parents live in Sidmouth now and my dad is a keen cycler too (I am/was until I got out of shape after moving + lockdown)

That's about 20 minutes from where my parents live.  If only we were allowed to travel...

If you're interested it could be acquired and left on the side road near me. I would say the drive but my wife would kill me if it stayed there for a few months until lockdown ended. I don't want to push my luck too much as a E28 needs to come and clutter up the drive soon. 🤣 

Not far from Yatton station, so I can easily pick you up or it's an hours max walk here. Personally those Toyota's really don't excite me anywhere near enough to want to consider even buying it. Especially to justify getting in trouble with Mrs SiC over it.

Going by the bright paintwork and non faded lights, I reckon it's lived a lot of its life in the garage.

Worth reading the advert, just for the amusement.

150 quid with some sparkly stick action needed, my Mot tester did ask me last year what I was planning to buy that needed welding...

That is the same seller who enraged @BorniteIdentity the other day by describing themselves as "OAP pensioners".
