Clean disability vehicle, high mileage. Disabled passenger sits in front next to driver, small convenient size car. Easy to use. Has an electrical fault which drains the battery. Comes with new battery but haven't got to the bottom of the cause.

I'm clearly a wrong 'un as I'd have that, although the horses and the boot badge would need to be launched into the sun(or ebayed in the unlikely event they're legit). The wheels can get in the sea also.

Also "No seats or front door cards". Obviously removed after the pic was taken – to put in this W116 that sneaks into a pic of an X350 the vendor is also selling.

@Spottedlaurel  Camry estate for £700.

Poor sod gets it MoTd then the head gasket goes.

Shame. That always seemed to be something of a risk with the V6, and the auto 'box going kaput. Luckily it never happened on mine, despite being used on trackdays.

With the Carina E fulfilling '90s practical car duties plus the LS400 for excessive cylinder count and my RX daily driver I fear that I would struggle to justify buying a broken Camry estate at present....

One way in which one can obtain a "cheap" Mk I Escort is, apparently, when it is disguised as a neoclassic van:

1973 Ford Escort Mark 1

I bet that mobile brick goes well* with that 1300 crossflow in it

Btw, I had no idea dinos were still roaming about in Blackwood! Surely hungry sauropods will make a mess of your garden...

When I was a kid in the 80s a local restaurant had one of these. Dad told me it was an escort underneath. They had it for years and it was a bit of a landmark - turns out I'm not the only one to remember it

Scrap 2cv in Trowbridge. Apparently the suspension has just lost fluid. Citeron is a new take though.

1988 Mini City E

0000.thumb.jpg.d23e9b043aabfdb3435872e0407677db.jpg

"This is a 1988 Mini City E with a 1000cc engine and manual transmission.

The car was a very rare find indeed, it has lived in the same garage for 36 years, owned by a Lady that really did only go to church and the garage to have it serviced and it's yearly mot. She has religiously covered 800 miles each year for 36 years, we have a lot of paperwork to support the mileage and ownership. 

The car is silver metallic with brown pleather with a herringbone middle fabric seats. The body work is quite good for it's age and being a Mini, probably due to the fact it was garaged. there are some bits to be done paint-wise and i have pictured as much of the car as they will allow in their 24 pic limit. Anyone seriously interested in the car should call me first to initiate contact before receiving whatever information or pictures you require. Video footage can also be sent via whats app once verbal contact has been made. "

What they called "pleather" is the original good honest vinyl with Sawtooth fabric inserts in lovely condition.

I was into that, until I found out that the 4WD is disabled, owing to a missing prop. 

It's pub Freelander thinking - 'yeah, my mate took the prop off, does 60mpg now, far better.' 

The key thing that makes an RX4 an RX4 doesn't work, leaving you with a  slower, shittier, heavier, thirstier Scenic. Well done. 
This information is omitted from the ad. 

I'm sorry, but I'm sick to fucking death of lazy FB Marketplace ads. If I have to go rooting about to glean basic facts,  like 'does the 4WD work' and 'does it have test' (not in this instance) then the seller doesn't deserve the money.
