vulgalour Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 £9k and this is the best photo in the listing. Not sure if the price or the poor photography is more shocking. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUSTIN-ALLEGRO-1275-ESTATE-VERY-RARE-MOT-AND-IN-FANTASTIC-CONDITION/392692829744 Actually neither is more shocking, the use of all caps and no punctuation in the write up is the most shocking part. -178/10 Cavcraft, MorrisItalSLX, richardmorris and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're smaller, less practical and more expensive than a Cherokee, but I still want one,. Meh, just a normal jeep, not massively cheap at £5250, I'm not keen on the window on the hard top, and I prefer the later coil sprung, round headlight TJs https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1994-Jeep-Wrangler-4-0-Auto-4x4-Petrol-Automatic/193341928872 Holy crap, I love that interior, maybe I could live with leaf springs and square headlights. I remember going to the motor show when these were launched and reading through the spec sheets in front of each one. The 2.5 litre was a bit slow but the 4 litre was fucking quick in acceleration, something like 7.5 seconds 0-60? I believe you could get a new front end to fit round headlights to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 They had 2 types of Volvo turbo back when they were boxy and RWD, a high pressure turbo (HPT) and later a low pressure turbo (LPT). The HPT is quick and rare, the LPT less so. Fortunately it's really a matter of installing a manual boost controller and then watching the wheelspin, like this bloke has done. It doesn't exactly scream "looked after", but what do you expect for a couple of hundred quid? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volvo-940-turbo-drift/184213535297?hash=item2ae3fb7a41:g:kGsAAOSws4Feb8uw sheffcortinacentre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Normal people can't afford an aircooled Beetle anymore but the "new Beetle" is much more in our price range. They didn't really do a speedy one in the UK other than this 2.3 litre V5 engine. As long as the ownership experience is less complicated than telling the difference between portrait and landscape, this one could be worth a look https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Beetle-2-3-V5-sport-170bhp/202935817726?hash=item2f3fead5fe:g:KXcAAOSwkxteHLQM spartacus and Asimo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually going to watch this one, older than mine but lower miles and manual. My geartronic box is 'flairing' worst outcome a new valve body, but I suspect it needs complete replacement of engine mounts and some more turbo hoses. I've chucked £1500 at mine in the last two months and I'm getting sick of it's neediness! Other than that I 'kind' of like mine - of that make's any sense?
