eBay tat volume 3.

[ashmicro]

It's maybe easier here in NI, as when I changed the engine in my Crappy from the stock 2.8i to the 2.9 24v Cossie BOA all I had to do was get an Engineer's Report (read: headed paper from a mechanic with the new engine number on it), wee quick note to DVLNI plus 7 quid and a new logbook was forthcoming. Although fuck knows what kind of a balls Swansea would have made of it.

[Cavcraft]

People love that kind of thing. As one example a Vespa or Lambretta 200 that's registered as a 125 is usually worth more than a 200 registered as a 200, obv this is down to people wanting extra speed without passing their test.

What a bonny wee car!

 

[Spiny Norman]

Not quite as cute, but I still would.

Ireland's full of the "1.2 on logbook" shite. Usually on Jap imports.

 

BMW 728 - "2.0 on logbook".

Must be interesting buying insurance. Was there ever a 2.0 7-series?

Buy this then camp up outside a Hyundai dealer and chuck dog shit at their windows because if it's woeful depreciation (Even though you only paid £1700 for it).

It's Hyundai! It's written on the back of the car man!

[Volksy]

I like those Hyundai's they kinda look like an Americanised Mondeo. Probably more reliable than one too..

Some fairly shocking mods on this, making it look like its come straight from 'Ali's custom tuning shop, New Delhi', although it looks reasonably well done at least. The lad reckons its a 2.0 diesel!!!! Good combo.

[dollywobbler]

Incredible. I have no idea why it has NACA ducts in the rear wings though.

[barrett]

apart from the rear lights and the colour I really like that The side view makes it look like one of those mental Turbot Acclaims everyone on here gets wet over.

I think that's the first B11 Sunny I've ever seen modded, too. Fair play to him I say.

[Pillock]

Re the logbook/insurance matters on conversions.... back in the day I used to post a few bits and bobs on Barryboys.

Snapping a local Hyundai with all sorts of shit glued to it, mismatched wheels etc etc - thought nothing of it until the owner posted something quite threatening on there, FAO me, with a scan of a letter he'd got from the insurance company. In this letter, the insurance company were less than enthusiastic about the pictures of his undeclared mods, and requested a fair chunk of money from him

 

So insurance companies quite regularly pick up on stuff posted to the web. I'm sure paying someone £16k a year to cruise ebay/pistonheads/autotrader looking for "still a 1.2 on logbook" pays for itself in a matter of weeks in increased premiums.

To dry out the water that always rots the rear turrets on these?

He's got this beauty up for sale as well, though a little out of tat thread budget

Unnecessary ducts and scoops tend to get called 'fart vents' round my way (West Cumbria). The car usually makes a corresponding noise as well, thanks to drainpipe and/or drilled exhausts.

'you wouldn't see another one the same'

 

There's a shame.

 

'have just retrained as a chef'

 

Having left your previous job as a tester for a Columbian marching powder company?

[retrogeezer]

I hate those rear lights with a passion, saw a Calibra with some the other day and just wondered how on earth folk think they are an improvement on the originals?

 

I guess that's why I am on this forum...

Presumably the inspiration for the colour scheme came to them in their first job in catering - working on Bassett's Fruit Salad production line.

'ENGINE LOOKS CATS ARSE'

 

Ditto your photographs and description chief.

 

 

*Si: The only car lights like that have ever looked good on are genuine 'Afterburners' on a nice Nova.

[Cavcraft]

Credit where credit's due, at least the vendor of this hasn't just tried to sell a log book and chassis tags. He might just as well have though...

'among them is a rebuilt engine from quicksilver racing, new bumpers, and a new gas tank....This rare original LHD Lotus Cortina'

 

If that's true then it's an utter bargain considering what these things fetch, despite it's awful looking condition.

[Vin]

Granted, I've never been to Kirkcaldy, but the background of that picture looks FORRIN...may explain the use of the words 'gas tank'.

Thank christ he hasnt been at this with the lorry trailer tail lights, what a honey!!!! Although these seem to be worth so much dollar that theyre well off my radar nowadays.

[Cavcraft]

Would love one of these and this colour suits them well.

'LISTED IN THE CLASSIC SECTION AS SOMEBODY MAY WANT A GOOD CHEAP RUNABOUT.'

 

WORD. I mean it's not like anyone looking through the cars section wants a good cheap runabout, is it?

 

*I still would though, it just needs leather (Trigger) and it's be right fit.

have had this car a short amount of time due to a friend buying it for me as a surprise gift gesture

The interior is really comfortable and the colour is a sort of orange

[Alexg]

FANNY MAGNET!

THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE ANYWHERE

YOU WOULD BEADVISED TO PICKUP BY TRAILER IF YOU ARE TRAVELING A LOT OF MILES

[dollywobbler]

Someone on here, please buy that Bond! Preferably someone on the south coast seeing as it's in Aberdeen. Epic road trip "I ignored Ebay sellers advice!" story guaranteed.

[Ross_K]

Credit where credit's due, at least the vendor of this hasn't just tried to sell a log book and chassis tags. He might just as well have though...

 

 

Looks like someone had their ebay account hacked. The listing's been cancelled, the photo'ss from the wrong side of the Atlantic and the seller's feedback is all for women's and kid's stuff...
