Cheap D Series.

s-l1600.jpg

I'd love another one of these.  Unfortunately this one is a 10-tonner so only way I could drive it is on L plates with a qualified lorryist sat in the cab with me.

I mean they say they are taking the body off it so its just a chassis cab at that point, cant you then just get it down-plated to 7.5 tons? or just do an @JJ0063 and get yer lorry licence :) (bonus points if you use said 1973 D series for your actual test)

and if you find a rotten old Luton van to rob the box off the back of, to plonk onto said chassis cab, you might even have somewhere dry-ish to keep the innocenti :)

That ad is something else...

"Gemballa (Copy) GT 650"  So, it's not a real Gemballa then? The £5k price would never have tipped me off...

"New battery life time warranty"  Ok..?

"Rare body kit made for Gemballa, I have never seen another one anywhere, fully body kit was re fitted  before respray with new graphic set fitted only 4 weeks ago"  Shame about the overspray and bad wrap tho...

"Full Porsche service history"  Two Porsche stamps is a full service history? And why is there and 11 year gap between the second and third (third party) service?

"Well to be honest I do not want to sell her, but due to ill health she has to go to a new home, she is only every used for car shows and Sundays out, she is 100% perfect in all ways without any problems at all, has had all the normal upgrades, heater pipes, starter motor, oil pump, upgraded cut disks, has had the piston sleeves upgraded to Darnton steel sleeves, total engine rebuild by previous owner, has upgraded MD561 Stage 1 Hybrid Turbos that push the car in to the 650BHP, separate cold air intakeslarger injectors, new coil packs, car is always run on shell super, also has had new air bags on the front, air ride works as it should. New plugs."  If that was true and not just word salad, it would be worth more than £5k

"has a correct full carbon fibre bonnet"  If true, worth more than £5k on its own

"All tyres have 5 m plus on them"  Yes, I'm picking on him for a typo

"Gloss Stainless steel 3 inch pipes with no Cats"  So, won't pass another (legit) MOT then. I can see why there were no advisories on your last one...

"Has a box of old coil pack and bit and bobs, old Porsche carpets etc"  You want me to take your other rubbish away too?

"1 week old full qualitied cut to shape carpets with retainers"  That is one precocious child, to be a full qualitied carpet fitter at 1 week of age

"Sits a 68mph with a 29mpg, or 20mpg around town, don’t put yourself in the fun zone lol, 15mpg but worth every penny"  Yeah, nah, mate, think I'll pass

There's some fascinating stuff in the photos on this listing.  I wonder if the owner of the brown Princess in Italy knows about this one, perhaps it could help him with some spares he was having great difficulty sourcing.

I'm not being deliberately provocative or even attempting the thinnest thread of humour.

This?  This stands no chance.

Astra bootlid model. My Cov mate has one in Ember Red. His mum gave it to him when he was 14. Only seen one other till just now.

Normally I dislike anything LHD, but this is the mirror image of the one I had in the late 90s. Very comfortable car, and ate miles for fun

Racist.

So grim that I want. So much less cool than a Mustang. Even the breathless, gutless Briggs and Stratton V6 engine adds to the charisma.

Another great example of a car that you'd never find in anywhere near this shape back in the states.

Yes, all the early 1.2s were saloons.  Here's the all important boot hinges shot.
