Are these as creaky and floppy as they look? 

Don't get me wrong, they're obviously the best thing ever, especially in beige. But it didn't really catch on, did it? 

Read my thread, everything you need to know is there.

TL,DR:  no, yes, no.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/196063600245       £4000 for a project that really looks much more viable than many advertised as immaculate.
Ticks all of my boxes: petrol with carbs and pushrods, 3 doors, glass headlights, no ABS, no airbags, no leather, no catalysts, no aircon, steel wheels. Only needs the proper air filter housing (Probably)

Looks like its provisionally sold - marked 'Pending'?

Ah that didn’t take long! Wasn’t pending when I posted it!

Maths perhaps not the seller's strongest suit though.

 

Surely they just mean that the first owner had it for 52 years, and it was taken to the UK in 1963 which was during those 52 years.

When I first read the ad I had to go back to that line, and came to the same conclusion as you - but it could have been worded better.

This seems very well priced if as the description it’s only failed on emissions?!

...which is interesting as being a Ledbury it's visible smoke test only at the MoT.

£1250 I think is  very stronge money especially with the description saying "recommend to be taken on truck"! not sure TX1's have quite started to go up in value just yet! 

and you can get a MOT'ed running driving TX4 for about £1000-£2000, London has a 12 year age limit on diesel cabs so plenty of 2011 ones ones on the market atm for example

even if it was a good price and working, sadly I just cant find anyone who will insure me on a black cab

I do wonder if could squeak an R or S reg TX1 onto a classic policy (over 25 years old) but I think most classic policies would baulk at the on street parking, and then there would be the challenge of finding an R or S reg TX1 thats not completely shagged

but I think an R Reg TX1 would be worth preserving mind, cant imagine theres many left at this point, I think Production Started in October 1997?

I appreciate the heads up tho :)

Van just failed mot on emissions and a brake load sensing valve on the rear is seized( brakes work fine still). Van starts and drives. Have been using every day to and from work. 

Seeing if anyone wants the whole van now. Before I break it for parts. 

Engine as just been replaced from another van on 42k miles with proof. 

£800

Not sure what's going on here, but it's either a Stoke based round of bukkake or (far more likely) someone telling their Touran to fuck off

One of the best motoring related moments I've ever had was when Cartakeback came round and took mine away to be crushed.

What were the squarer '80s futuristic' cabs called? I expect they've succumbed to eighties megatax now. I like them though.

£5k. Would.

I certainly wouldn't pay £5K for a Metrocab!  I've had three, I think the most expensive one was about 600 quid.

Oh yeah, you're probably right.  Brain isn't working at the moment.
