eBay tat volume 3.

While my Jaguar gently weeps.

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping.

Still my Jaguar gently weeps.

If I had the money and land, I would have this as yard art or as some might call it, a scrap yard of moldy old chod at that miserable old gits house.

Tidy looking Sunny hatchback/coupe/estate thing, reasonably priced by my reckoning at £1750

Just like I bought in 1989 and sold the following year:

My 1983 Sunny + 1986 309, Ipswich 1990

How can it be 30+ years ago? I think the 1.5s are blunted by overly tall gearing, the 1.3 I had a bit later on was better.

This Subaru is appealing enough in its own right but why is no one talking about the two Gilberns getting it on in the background?

Shit!

I've been thinking about fetching my estate one of these back from France and MOT'ing/flogging it, will keep an eye on this and see what happens with it.

Those Gilberns have been for sale for ages - I think he started out with a 'job lot' of six or seven in varying states of decay but I think a few have since been sold on. The same lad has had half a dozen weird old Subarus for sale over the last six months; I'm not sure if he thought Gilberns and Subarus would make a nice little pension pot some day, but I reckon he bet on the wrong horse

I wish I had a reason to buy this car - if I had to rationalise the fleet it'd be ideal. Not cheap for something of its age, but way better than most newer cars at that price:

That is absolutely glorious.

That's how I remember the one a mate had in about 2001.  Nice and refined (for what it was) on the dual carriageway, but wouldn't pull up any kind of hill in 5th.

He replaced it with a Corolla 1.3 liftback which was much lower geared but would still do 70 in second due to the absence of a rev limiter...

Low mileage Rover 100.  Would suit someone living near March and with access to a trailer.

 

@BeEP

Other than not being metallic beige, that's identical to the one my mum bought new, hers was an 'N' too.  Charming little car if rather outdated by then.  Rusted pretty much from new but was reliable, if I had a gap on the driveway I'd probably throw a bid on that for nostalgia purposes.  Surely not a carb though despite what the seller says?  Must have been fuel injected by then, I thought only the very early K-series Metros were carbed?

This vacuum cleaner is so happy  he looks like a 1970's Tory MP who has locked himself in the stationary cupboard with a few grams of Columbian marching powder and 10 year's worth of Boy Scouts magazines.

Not sure how well qualified this person is to advise you how to use the kit and start a successful valeting business when they can't be bothered to wash off the green slime round the top opening of the back doors of their own van.
