This looks class for £5,000 but it's either a scam or cheap because of the work needed that maybe didn't make the photographs. Or because it's in Belgium.

The tyres look massive, too.

They are reusing the pictures of Belga Veilingen, the auction house where it was sold three years ago:  https://www.belgaveilingen.be/nl/kavels/kavel/morris-mini-woody/238331

Coming to a white room soon.  With a long write up about how the car was purchased to ferry Dorris Bains from her home in Ealing to the local Methodist Church once a week where she would proudly play the organ. 

The fact that Mrs Bains was tone deaf was more than made up for her gusto with the organ and experimental rendition of polular music within the church. 

Few who were there could forget her rendition on the pipe organ of Fire by Arthur Brown at the funeral of Reverend Green. 

In 1982 Mrs Bains converted to devil worship and discovering that this could be done from home after drawing a pentagram on the dining room floor the Fiesta was only used to go to the occasional bring and buy sale and yearly MOT

Registered new on the 21st April 1980 by Ford Main Dealer, Gilbert Rice Ltd in Horsham, the first and only owner was a Miss Histed. Purchased later in life as her first car, Miss Histed decided she wanted to start driving, and with a mild disability requiring her to have a modified clutch pedal she passed her test. The car was always garaged and used sparingly as Miss Histed felt that she was never overly fond of being a motorist, despite the freedom it offered. In the 1980’s she decided she no longer wished to drive but did not want to part with the car just in case and so it remained, in the garage. In 1996 she initially made the decision to sell the car and took it for MOT which it passed. However, she changed her mind and decided not to sell the car. The exact same scenario happened in 2007 where again the car passed the MOT but she once more decided she could not part with it

Until she was bludgeoned over the head with a roll of grubby £20 notes.....

silly money...

Oh, I though you meant silly as in cheap :-( 
But they are selling some other stuff (like James Bond Baddy's motor).

Hang on, actually, not selling - advertising an auction? I'd have thought listing it cheap would be better?

Bit like this one that eBay pimped to me earlier today - £500 - so cheap you have to go look (then you find out it's ex-George Michael - like most the lads on the Piccadilly meat rack ;-) ) not sure if that's a sales price plus or a minus

Holy Shit.

As soon as I've got some money in my pocket, there are about 5 cars all winking at me at the same time.  All completely useless to me, but desperately attractive.

Check. This. Out.

The arse on that.  Phwoar.  And, being the early 80s - Burgundy outside means...

image.png.f145691f85a80d3f7d3b5ae80af5cfd4.png

...Burgundy inside.

High spec and £1500 which is a complete bargain, despite being laid up for so long.

Sadly, I can't use this as a tip wagon or a bike carrier or a micro camper or anything else, so I'm out.  But I absolutely adore these cars with all of my heart.  

 

 

One more?

Saw that this morning on FleaBay whilst doing the 'nearest the bull' search for 'any badermatic under £3K'
Wee bit cheaper (so far) on there - bet he'd take £2K

Or KGF at £15,000 next week.  He who dares……….
In fairness though that would still be a bargain compared to any brand new car.

Sadly not, I did enquire about it but the seller came back saying it had already sold. Shame as it was local which makes for a change!

I had one in the same spec albeit a 340 last year:
