Check out this cutie, early SWB frontera with the 2.0 SOHC pez engine, I'd look like a right tit in this but I still like it

****EDIT: Its only just occurred to me after all these years that these are just one of those Bedford Brava pick-ups with a different arse end on them****

Oh!!!!! Look at this beauty!!!! I used to think these were WELL EXOTIC. Well nowadays a 2.0 pinto-engined TVR wedge gives me a much bigger cream horn than a Ferrari or whatever so it looks like the 8 yr-old me was right. HAWT!!!

Fairway FX4 with the ubiquitous Nissan dizzler, not bad looking for a bag.

do love an FX4 :) did not realise a usable one could be had for less then a grand these days figured they would all be more then that, but to be fair I have not been actively looking/checking

This is one of the times im really quite grumpy with the ULEZ zone

as I would love to have a fling with one of these while one still can ie before the prices for one thats usable leave the  shite-o-sphere, but I cant cuz of ULEZ sadly

Finished at £470 which isn't much more than I would have chosen to pay for it, assuming I had any cash.  I hope it serves someone well.

Stacks of waffly bullshit in the ad but this is a one-owner 2.2 Elegance auto, I bet this is a well nice way to travel, SRSLY WLD

Interior is very good with no rips or tears, horrible smells or adverse wear in seat bolsters.

If those seat covers have been on since new, that's possibly true. Although you'd have to trust the seller.

I dont think you can get a more miserable power plant than the old 1.6D engine in these. 

In a classic case of "my dad had one of those", my dad had one of those when he was between company cars in about 1999.  A later mk4, admittedly, but the same basic car.  As far as I could tell, the 1.6D was mostly designed to turn diesel fuel into smoke and noise.  It was comically agricultural and exceedingly slow, to the point where it was preferable to cram the family into my mum's Rover 111i for long holiday journeys.    

I vaguely recall it might have been a Perkins engine but no idea if that's right.

This seems to be a very tidy example of an amazing car, its rare to get the chance to buy such a clean 3.0 24V. The clips for the chrome trim in the back are unobtanium, I was incredibly lucky to find some this year.

Extremely cheap 3.2 Omega estate ending in an hour.  I have no way of getting to Sussex in the next two days or I'd be all over this.

Same here, I've only just seen this, about 15 minutes to go, but I'm out as too many broken cars already.... Wuvvum, go for it, then work out how to collect it... I do have a mate with traders policy but no chance of getting a reply at such short notice....
