Anyone in Crewe willing to give the sills of this a firm prod?

If they put up half a fight I’ll buy it. 

 

 

I'm currently near-ish to Crewe but it'll be Wednesday or Thursday before I can get anywhere near it.

Thanks mate - I think the guy might be a bit too much like 'hard work'.  I will speak to him again today but my spidey senses are tingling.

This guy has been trying to get 5k for about a year now despite paying around 1700 quid for it originally and yet putting zero effort into actually improving it in any way. It's probably been standing most of the time deteriorating further.

Asked the seller to add more photos. Naturally it turns out to be complete junk the closer you look and nothing like the original photos indicated. As usual.

This looks like a nice buy for £750

2006 Honda FR-V. Never paid these any attention, but three seats up front is kinda cool. Basically a bench seat.

I had one a couple of years ago and sold it on here.  Twas interesting, but the front seats can't be used by children and the driving position is offset.  Otherwise they're a useful square appliance and the petrols are pretty economical.

I really fancied one of these coz of the dimensions and old school 3 across the front style but they seem to like to rot at an alarming rate. Don’t remember when I last saw one.

I'm sure there's a couple of you here that'll be able to explain WTF this is. I had no idea Ligier made microcars 

They sold them here in RHD form for a while in the early 2000s.  I had two Ambras back in the day, one diesel and one petrol.

Aaah right, you learn something new everyday! They must be very rare now in RHD form.

I haven't seen any for sale for a while.

The petrol Ambra holds the distinction of clocking the third slowest 0-60 time of all the vehicles I've owned, at 55.5 seconds.  (The diesel one was flat out at 45 so that doesn't count.)

Sounds like hilarious fun 😂

Also, must be driven when drunk 😆

If I'm right in thinking, Its these MK1 Prairie's that have no B-pillar? Very interesting car, not seen one of these for years.

Who fancies themselves lump of yank pig iron with a gert sized V8? Although 5.0L is still relatively small for a yanktank

Is that mould or are the seats shagged?

Are they allowed on motorways? (Axiam, Ligier etc). 

I think 3 wheel Reliant etc aren't but I'm not sure whether 'quadricycle' are also not allowed. 

Maybe @LightBulbFun can illuminate us?

not sure about the Axiam/Ligier but 3 wheeled Reliants are allowed 

[alcyonecorporation]

I've been on motorways in an 803cc Standard 8. 

And I thought my Amazon was slow.

Oh I didn't realise that. 

To be fair they're probably not much slower than my Avensis in limp mode yesterday.

seems a bit of T-Cut and some pictures has already doubled the value of the ex-bollox Zephyr since that shit Geordie auction. Don’t tell @jmsguzzi how easy it is or that bargain W124 won’t be a bargain anymore.
