I'd imagine that given that the bloke's username is his mobile number he's expecting people to call him if they're interested. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The 3.5 Seven Series is my favourite BMW model. The big straight six, quad round headlights, perfect proportions. This is a Japanese export, so parking wand and CLOTH. In a seven series! No airbags, may even be ABS free! I think I want it just for the door cards. £10k is a lot of money for one of these, but it is tempting. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202110188606114 cort16, mk2_craig, Wibble and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Jude Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Not car related, but keeps coming up on my Faceache. Signed by Kenny Morgan and Albert Scanlon, apparently, who survived the crash. Imagine having the pure brass balls to ask those two men to sign the print of the crash they survived but lost their friends in, and then selling it for £45. timolloyd, grogee and Wibble 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyesWeldedShut Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Had this one yet? https://www.gumtree.com/p/rover/rover-2000-sc-auto-1972-1978-cc-/1419236286 1974 Rover P6 2000 SC - £2,500 'needs work'. I did ping the seller but she said she wasn't sure what needed done as she's not a car person but welcome to come and look. Unfortunately Mrs Welded here said 'Non'. So I never asked any further....

grogee Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Opel Ponzi, auction starts at £1k but might reach 5 figures at a guess. Digital dash probably doubles the price. It does have a very comprehensive description but I don't think much of this: "it does look sound underneath too, floorpan etc - we have had it on a ramp, just didn't have a phone to take pics" EDIT: Forgot link. Curiously the start price is now £500,000. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opel-Monza-GSE-V-Low-Mileage-60-622-Genuine-Miles-Not-Barn-Find-More-Project-/125007777441?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 MorrisItalSLX and Shite Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was certainly the desire to sell the revised Mk2 version in Europe, so I can imagine they had that aspiration originally before they knew it was going to flop. Absolutely fascinating motoring curiosity. How many LHD's did the Phoenix 4 make? 7k miles and registered - so was it a factory test car/mule/press vehicle? No V5 - would this have come straight from the receivers? Were these really so bad? Or overhyped for something that should have been sold as being cheap and cheerful. I wonder if Gaydon have one in their collection. Notwithstanding it's origins it is the last 'BMC' small car in a venerable line stretching back to the original 1923 Austin 7.
