scdan4 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 This is for sale quite near to me, and my eBay searches are generally based distance first. It’s turned up in the endless scrolling for a while now. And each and every time this catches my eye and makes me look twice. just so right looking. Makes me want to grow a moustache and smoke Marlboro reds. sadly it’s 100k, so not only can I not afford it, I likely never will. Fucking look at it though. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F233278445574 It needs a better interior though.

morrisoxide Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Little known fact that the side trim from the front wings of Oxfords & A60s, fits on the boot lid bang on. It also fits the upper back part of the back seat on Farina Estates. Tell yer mates and bore them to death You know you want to look at those fins! Also I wonder why the seam down the back wing stops half way down Isopon? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1960-Wolseley-15-60-1622-cc-MSK-690-4-door-saloon-Blue/303236289350?hash=item469a4a9346:g:7-cAAOSw-ixdO1Fx Amishtat, Wilko220, Aston Martin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffcortinacentre Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Fiesta was Ford's first UK false wheel drive but I think the 12 & 15 M Taunus was the first European one along with the Taunus transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Holy smoke Batman, it's a Consul Capri. Doesn't look too bad, but who knows. Very original / unmolested, but maybe it's completely fuckled. Originally Aberdeen/shire registered. Oh yeah!!!. One of these would have been good factory-built with the Zodiac Mk3 2.5 six. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-consul-capri/153581086522?hash=item23c225673a:g:oOwAAOSwA3ldOtg-&redirect=mobile stonedagain, richardmorris and Skizzer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardmorris Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 When my mum was in nhs training in the early sixties one of her colleagues bought one new. The thing is he didn’t drive it, it was his pride and joy and my mum even included it in a crossstich sampler for his retirement in the 1990s. She remembers sitting in it as a student in his garage- you weren’t allowed inside with shoes on. When he died it had almost no miles on it and still the original plastic seat and door covers. I’d have bought it, but sadly it wasn’t included in his estate sale and he had no relatives ( his father was a free polish pilot, and theres actually quite a large polish community in Wrexham dating back to the war). I have his chemistry books. so if you see a car like this at a meeting I know the early history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit, this seems a very basic ad and the car looks lovely and far too cheap. May be a scam? It’s a car that’s on my dream garage list, especially in this colour and interior combination.

All 309 automatics are 1.6 engines, they never did a 1.4 auto. Like many ebay sellers this one hasn't bothered to check his listing, or is otherwise completely unaware.

bramz7 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 That 309 auto sold for a lot less than that a very short while ago. These eBay flippers are becoming very blatant about it now. Sometimes you have to wonder if stuff like that will ever get driven again, or if it's just dealers desperate to make 50 pence each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
