These things are fugging hilarious.  I'd forgotten they even existed until I saw this one.  Basically a fake-offroad version of a City Express.

Having said that, £500 for a new, unregistered 29-year-old bike could be something of a bargain - you'd pay that for a new shitty Chinese 50, and I know which I'd rather be holding up the traffic on.

Ha! My older sister had a Honda PX50 like that when she turned 16. I pinched it once and went for a quick cruise up the back lanes. Seemed proper exiting at the time but I'd wager it'd seem pretty shit now.

I wouldn't drive that Thema anywhere until the belts had been changed (plus various other things). Don't forget that engine parts are Ferrari and not as cheap/robust as some other makes.

"The reliability of a Lancia with the running costs of a Ferrari" is one quote I remember for the 8.32

Cheap holey wobbly xr3i project. I'd really like this but as ever space is an issue. I recon the days of being able to pick up even a rust filled xr3 for 500 quidi are numbered

Looks nice and standard that late 88' spec on a G plate, rear spoiler appears to be missing though. Always wanted one of these MK4's but by the time I could insure one they were pretty gone all gone, in Mercury Grey though 8)

South of France but it's got a mere 62,000km and it and it's a diesel! 1000 euros seems like a right bargain...

That green Acclaim is on my watch list... I'd also like to get a look at the Hyacinth Rover off of Gumtree, but it's in Sussex so that's a bit out of my way.  I do like those, very much.

These ML's really are horrible aren't they? This one's at least got a v8 in it and has a problem with sticky buttons so bring a hazmat suit and a couple of litres of hand sanitiser.

Engine runs smoothly and is very reliable, Now the car overheats and the fan does not cut in!

This looks nice, and £1,690 BIN is pretty good value, I wonder why it has remained unsold?

Please not, the main picture above is the car last summer before the start of the restoration...See my Large Pictures below of the car now.

 

Alright, I have a feeling all is about to be revealed. What does it look like now, post restoration?

Good job.

 

The work done so far was done by an ex- Ferrari mechanic to the highest standard

 

That is a very neat hole.

edit: sorry for the giant pictures (but not really)
