Winnebago Le Sharo 2.1TD 4 berth. TOTAL RESTORATION PROJECT or SPARES !

1985 Renault Traffic / Master based American built motorhome. Unused, has not been started and been off the road (on blocks) for the last 15 years. Requires massive amount of body work - it's very corroded so needs a total restoration or used for spares - only for the brave and very able ! Light fire damage to front and cracked windscreen. Front wings, doors, bonnet, side skirts. etc all rotten.

The original eBay link above shows "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing"

But, it is still available here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/citroen-2cv-car-ami-8-bedouin-africar/333955429375?hash=item4dc14b73ff:g:Ol0AAOSwW8RgcyJZ

Showing as "£5,000 no offers", and no reason for second listing.

I like it, and remember a TV program about the Africar the story and philosophy behind it.

I have liked these since they first come out, just not quite enough to buy one. This looks great but doesn’t appear to have stripes on the seats so I’m out. Still a great car and looking better with age, appears solid too:

If you are as impressed by Angrydicky’s latest project as I am, you could buy the next best thing?

Ah, Alfa GTVs. A car of my childhood. There was a bloke who lived across the road from my old primary school who had a GTV (perhaps even two, it was a while ago) and I recall one lunch break I saw him get into his red GTV, only to have starting issues for a good 15 minutes before he gave up and decided to walk instead. I passed the same area recently and the car is still there and looking quite cosmetically healthy.

This one on the other hand doesn't look to be as in good shape:

Been wasting time looking at Craiglist for cars in other countries I can't house, as you do.

 

This Mercury Capri with a 2.8 V6 turbo conversion might be of interest to @danthecapriman:

Smacks of good value at a shade less than £4400.

And on the yellow theme, this is far less of a bargain but I can't resist an early W126 in one of the bright solid colours they offered them in:

This comes a close third behind the avocado green and the ultimate bright orange I've seen these in.

 

Bonus points for jarringly contrasting blue trim, too:

Cheap (so far) '59 Impala for yank-tank lickers @eddyramrod & @danthecapriman:

Reminds me of the Brass in Pocket music video, even though they used a Cadillac from the same year.

But I literally cannot shake off this one, after encountering its existence a good few hours ago:

00N0N_cDPAoeyvqabz_0CI0mZ_1200x900.jpg

A 1970 Galaxie XL, untouched and with some quite juicy extras, including those most excellent trims.

 

00p0p_hBJj5XnHcnYz_0CI0eX_1200x900.jpg

Shit a brick!

 

00a0a_1mVCn3NRScGz_0CI0kg_1200x900.jpg

I'll admit I do find the very tail end a little bit of a let down, after the hooded lamps up front and the buttressed C pillars. But I'm sure I could learn to live with it.

*audible gasp from the Antipodes*

 

00808_5aa4nEikKqOz_0CI0t2_1200x900.jpg

Even the  Stereosonic tape system ($134.00) is woodgrain covered.

 

So what price a single family owned, 51 year old Ford V8 coupe with 44000 miles on the clock? £6377. Or about the same as a 4 door MkII Escort, I imagine.

That is stunning! What a machine! In fact this car should be forcibly shown to all current car designers and manufacturers as a model of how you should be doing things and why your current products are all frankly utter wank.

Is that a bullet hole in its arse end!?
