Isn’t this worth it just for the 1.8t conversion? 
I’m no expert but this has got to be a great way of getting a 1.8t engine conversion and all the bits 

@Six-cylinder has just bought a 1960s Peugeot...

Nice looking W124, has cow, extra seats, and what appear to be non-ventilated front wings.  99p no reserve, Isle Of Wight - doesn't Ma @Lord Sterling live there?  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134336434949?hash=item1f47135305:g:3yMAAOSwjKxjdJts

Oh dear 🤯 lovely. I miss mine. I really need to get back into a nice petrol car.

Ma is no longer in the IoW sadly. Retired from the NHS about a year or so ago. I picked her up from there when she finished, she's back in Brum town now.

Lots of E280 estate, this one is exactly the same as my old one. I really want one again. Might hit him up and see if he'll take a Pug 407 in PX.

IIRC it was cheaper road tax if a van rather than an estate, hence seat in back but no rear side windows.

Think the seat in the back was a basic option as we had loads of these at work in the late 70's and they all had that.

Potatographed Anglia van, anyone?

There's a fairly simple* way to buy it, involving flying to Portugal, examining it, paying two different people, flying home, then going to Birmingham to pick it up weeks later.  So, in a nutshell, it involves going to a strange land where you can't understand the locals, putting yourself at the risk of being bummed/mugged/used a drug mule AND you still have to also go to Portugal.

Doesn't say so, but this must be the THP version (think Bini, Pug etc) rather than the  EW10J4S ones I and @Daviemck2006 had.

Both very few and far between now, How many left reckons 91(petrol engine) on the road and 69 SORN (I still have the one @Daviemck2006owned on SORN)

Who'd a thought thirty years ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine?

Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a Yorkshire Jowett Jupiter...

An old Jowett Jupiter...

Without bumpers...

Or seats...

With a filthy, rusted scuttle...

We never used to even have a hood. We used to have to drive round with the rain coming in...

The best we could manage was huddle inside...

But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor!

Because we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, 'Money doesn't buy you much Jowett Jupiter!

E' was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to drive in this old Jowett, with no windscreen.

Windscreen? You were lucky to have a hole! We used to drive round in one, all twenty-six of us, no seats. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of falling!

You were lucky to drive! We used to have no steering wheel. 

We used to dream of no steering wheel. Woulda' been a amazing to us. Twenty of us used to drive in an old Jowett with no windscreen, no hood, no seats, no trim, no steering wheel, a hole in the floor, a rusty scuttle, and a dashboard made out of an old plank.

But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.

Aye

Was it just me that checked the reg number displayed on this heap and was mildly amused to find that it belonged to a gold (beige?) 1500 Maxi that has been missing in action since 1984.

If it's stolen & recovered it seems odd the owner wouldn't have wanted it back?

That's fantastic. What a find. I reckon it's the orange car in this press photo.

That's really cool. Starting bid of £100 as well, got to be worth a cheeky low ball just in case nobody else wants to sit on it for another 15 years avoiding starting the project. I wonder if it comes with all the glass.
