I wonder how much they paid the Fire service for it. 

Wouldn't it be nice if the fire service, ambulance, police, local councils etc got the full value from the sales of old vehicles...

Ex had one as her 1st car, 1100L. GR8 little thing, passenger front seats fragile though ;-)

That does look a bit fucked. I still want it though.

The gearbox is worth £300 or so I reckon.

I've got to admit I sort of admire this...

I spotted that one a while ago and also quite like it. It looks bloody awful, but for £1k it's complete...ish, bloody huge and is silly cheap. I even tentatively showed my OH, but she scowled and muttered something about tarmac and dogs. I responded that gentlemen of that persuasion wouldn't be seen dead in such a heap, but that we could have it for bargain* camping. She really wasn't impressed. 

I wonder how it's actually supposed to look, and how they've achieved the 'extension'?

Most stuff is leased these days; however  in a former life working for a local authority I was involved in demolition of surplus buildings so that the sites could be sold.

One site was a former depot which I was checking out, mainly to get costs for testing and disposal of all the unmarked drums of oil/chemicals left behind. The site wasn't particularly secure (that was something else I was sorting). I was therefore surprised when I went in one of the garages to find a Mercedes stretch limousine covered in dust. I knew the car as it was the old mayoral car. My boss got it retrieved pretty sharpish. It had been advertised for sale by tender when it had been replaced by a new one, nobody had bid so it had been shoved in the garage and forgotten about. It did then get sold, no idea what they got for it and I didn't bid as I had nowhere to put it.

"Fast becoming a sought after classic".

Really? I love old Renaults but not ever going to have a big audience. Hardly any on the road in France or at shows. One of those cars that went without many noticing.

"Virtually on 100,000 mile now (low for year)" 

Heard of mansplaining? That's ebaysplaining.

Joking aside nice little car tho

Apparently a close up of any part can be sent - I think that refers to the car only.

Those were the days, when mayors had proper cars rather than bloody Priuses.

Cardiff City Council still has its Phantom V tucked away in the basement garage at County Hall, it's only been out for its MOT for the last few years, in recent times there have been calls to sell it, or at least put it on display. I think it still carries its KG1 numberplate.
