£10,000 Skoda

 

that's the one from Manor Park Classics auction earlier this year. I went there with a view to buy this but those blokes from the TV were bidding it up well past what it was worth because profits were going to Ukraine

Yeah, we've all used that under caution, M8.

5087 MILES ONLY PEUGEOT BOXER Electric van, spares or repairs Camper conversion | eBay

Basically. it's an electric van, but the battery pack has gone. He bought a Jaguar I-pace battery (and some other bits) but helpfully sold the Jag battery. To try and compensate* for this, all the electrical drive gear will be removed prior to sale.

TL:DR?

It's a £1,250 van for £3,950 and if you do convert it back to diesel you're essentially faced with a ticking time bomb 2.2HDi or a spazzy 2.3 Iv*co engine.

Wolesley 6/110 "needs minor TLC"

Apparently "starts and drives" which begs the question, why didn't they move it to somewhere where they could take a decent picture?

Peugeot 505 SRD £5,250

Luckily I don't have £5k lying around (yes, I did check between the cushions of the sofa for loose change) as I would be hard pressed to choose between this and the Wolseley

I like these because my grandad had one and hate them in equal measure because of the out of proportion front end, was these designed from the outset to have the spare tyre under the bonnet?

I like them for being way over the top! The styling seems to be very American inspired so may be Ford decided to make use of the spare under-bonnet space for the spare and free up some boot room.  I don't know if Ford ever had plans to fit a V8 and whether that was partly responsible for the long bonnet or whether it was solely inspired by style*.

They are though, well some of them.  The Countryman model looked exactly the same as the saloon until you opened the back, at which point a two-piece tailgate revealed itself.  Confusingly the Innocenti version (Italian and other European markets) had a one-piece lift-up affair.

I'm sure the B-series transplant has been done, but as with the Minor, it's a big chunk of weight to dump over the front wheels.  It's significantly bigger and heavier than the A-series they came with.  I've had mad ideas of using a 2.0 Pinto or 2.3 Volvo 740, but really, a 1.6 or 1.8 MX5 engine and box would be a long way more than adequate, and somewhat lighter.  And we all know how MX5s like to rot!

Sounds like a plan to me, especially if it can be on twin carbs. Now, should we start a go fund me or just start begging?

The 2.3 JTD is actually a bloody good engine in my experience.  I'd have one over a 2.2 HDI anyway.

My second A40 had a mildly tuned 1275 A-series and that was plenty powerful enough for the car - unless you're going to start upgrading wheels, brakes and suspension I wouldn't have wanted much more than the ~70bhp that was putting out.

Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow "Chipendale dashboard" - you live and learn, I wasn’t aware Thomas Chippendale (2 'p's please) was knocking out Shadow dashboards in the 1780s along with all the tables and chairs.  I guess we should be thankful it doesn’t have a Chippendales dashboard.

Oh dear. I know exactly where that is and it looks like incredible value for one of these. Can I control myself???

A ropey red Fury what could possibly go wrong. 

All you would have to do is say "show me" and it will fix it's self.

Yup, technical malfunction with the picture download (i.e. I messed up)!

That is cheap AF even with a bit of battery degradation.

Tatty as hell, but 26k miles, a beige interior and nearly a year's MOT for £600? Bargain!

Ooh very nice, (well, not nice but you get the gist!) remember that exact one being up for sale last year and it caught my fancy then ... 🤔

[RoverFolkUs]

The most expensive Daewoo on Gumtree, you do only get 28k miles on the clock though.. 

A snip at £1495. That's what I paid for one some fifteen years ago when I bought mine on an 03 plate in 2007/8! 

It's a 1.6 petrol manual. Which was as dire as it sounds. Not quite the £howmuch tax bracket though as it's older than 06 and not an auto. Fuel economy? 30mpg if you're lucky 😬

Mmm, misery. I still never found a good reason for the little LCD clock being placed where it is on the passenger side.

Buy that and you’ll be constantly irritated by people referring to your “Robin Reliant”.
