eBay tat volume 3.

[Fabergé Greggs]

The vendor has produced a great 'stream of consciousness' description for the car redolent of Jack Kerouac or William Burroughs; perhaps they were speeding on cocaine at the time?

 

Brilliant ad, I like it !

Can be roughly translated as "It's fucked and so am I"

[Cheggers]

Fuck me this has got to be worth a punt for £450

How could you kick that out of bed?

 

Short MOT though but how bad can it be........

Only thing that might bother me are the iffy-looking bonnet/front wing shutlines.

For something that has cost a bloody fortune when new, and is supposedly the best car in the world ever, it definitely hasn't fared as well as some cheap shite I have owned - FFS - only 106,839 miles and it has that list of issues!

I actually passed out while reading this due to the lack of punctuation...

[spike60]

This has been for sale forever so I guess it's overpriced for what it is but I like it, even though not a V6.

For a neglected Rolls that isn't a bad list considering how over complicated these cars are. Certainly a bargain at the current price as the ad makes it sound really bad when it is just a few days work and probably about £500 in parts to get it back up to scratch, assuming he hasn't left out the fact it is rotten.

Fire engines have been around for ages dickhead. 

 

Burn that bloody contraption, but what's with that Oldsmoshite lurking in the background?

[Junkman]

This things fucking 9 grand. This is has got to a solid 9.8/10 on the deathometer it's basically a ladder with some wheels and a Cosworth motor strapped to it.  

Also it looks shit.

Yeah, it should have a 401 Nailhead Buick to improve road adherence.

Needs steelies on the back, too, and crossplies all round.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I've always found the Renner 9 and renner 11 to be about the dullest cars ever made. And yet, this poverty-spec white r11 2-door somehow looks flipping amazingly good, how is that? All cleaned up I reckon this would keep me entertained for hours looking at it.

 

http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/764978028.htm?ca=7_s

 

Looking on LBC these 2-door jobs seem very rare indeed, in fact there are only 2 or 3 out of about 140 R11's for sale. This one is 1500€ which sounds a bit steep but its certainly got my juices flowing. WANT!!!

[laser wheels]

I have honestly never even considered owning a Rolls Royce until now. Just look at it it... it's beautiful. It's hard to believe you can get so much car for so (relatively, in the great scheme of things) little.

 

 

 

Quite possibly the best car interior ever.

My son used to have a book that showed you how to recreate 'Hollywood' horror make-up effects.

 

I think someone's been practising their 'Frankenstein Scars' on this 1100.

Yesterday I dove a 360 mile round trip to collect this 944, which I won in the previous auction for it. I was presented a very tired old car, poor paint repair with over-spray on seals etc. The deal breaker was the car is described as "no rot" yet the roof was rotten above the windscreen with the paint work bulging for quite a long way, I rejected the car and the seller was angry and he says he will report me.

How much was that 944 up for? I have mine up for sale just now, its not a minter though...

I won with a bid of Ã‚£1330 but was expecting a much better car than it is with just the listed faults.

Alfa romeo badge on the numberplate of the Porsche means he was too mean to get new plates made up for the new car and probably skimped on any maintenance.

[skattrd]

I'm breaking one of my own rules here (don't post anything I may be bidding on) but I fully expect this to go way beyond what I'm prepared to pay for it ...

8 seater,diesel, turbo, auto .... 268k miles though

 

[skattrd]

Cheap 928 ... anyone feeling lucky?

 

[skattrd]

I love the front view of this car

 

[cort16]

That 928 was for sale on gumtree in Fife about a month ago for 1000 quid. Possibly a bit more work than they thought but by the looks of the auction they're not going to lose.
