I still want it though. The gearbox is worth £300 or so I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 It had been advertised for sale by tender when it had been replaced by a new one, nobody had bid so it had been shoved in the garage and forgotten about.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. Shite Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Shite Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, Euro 6 compliance means that they'll be flogging off the current minibus fleet within a year or two, about a hundred or so Merc/VW ones. I'll see if I can find out more, as they'll no doubt go for a song at the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be nice if the fire service, ambulance, police, local councils etc got the full value from the sales of old vehicles... HMRC accounting rules, on depreciation of commercial vehicles is straight line 1/6 value every year for 6 years, so that at year 7 it has zero value on the books. So yes, it would be great if they were sold off more carefully, with a view tonobtaining max value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egg Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Have I said, I really like the goona 3 coupe? V6 auto dizzle, in GT spec 230bhp. Low cost, high liability? Mebbe. But I can't imagine a better looking modern car for £4.5k. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/202006180277797 (I even prefer the looks to the 406 coupe).
