Unfortunately it looks like the auction was pulled early as presumably sold out of eBay. Pretty much exactly what I am after. For £800 odd more than that Fabia, you get a whole lot more modern car for your money. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115422420135 Those Ibizas do seem pretty cheap for what they are, considering their popularity I still see them as 3 grand cars, especially when MK5 Polos are still firmly above £3k and from the same platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it's not been touched for 30 years by the look of it, so seems likely it would still have the 875 in, no? And don't those bits on the pass seat look Impy to you (you know more than I do in that respect)? Doesn't seem like loads of money to me for such an un-messed with example. Yeah, looks like a block and head not attached to each other to me. There's a nearly completed one for £10k in Facebook though that looks good value for money. Probably cheaper than this in the long run. Can't find the link at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could've been one of many. Sure, but the only online references are to those 3 door ones. Flanks look so different on that 5dr. Wasn't there another coachbuilder, between those 2?

Get out of the way old man, it's the inflation train and no one's driving I'm not so sure, it's a derv in excellent condition, under 100k (just) and looks reasonable VALU to me even pre pandemic. Someone was selling a petrol one on here that didn't look that great for around the same a few months ago. sdkrc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a wide demographic that know the name and what they look like. Whether it's your first driver, granny or even family who doesn't care about cars but wants small vehicle. Thus demand always us high. The Fabia have their own following too. However with the Ibiza, they are aimed at the young market who wants a "sporty" first car. When they can get insurance to move away from a lackluster, humdrum engine, they do. So most other buyers must forget about them. That's sort of the reasons I figure why they aren't worth much. Like this one I saw come up and took a good few days to sell: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/591199772288188/ Bit too far for me to see it, so didn't. But looked a decent modern car for not a lot. RoverFolkUs and AnnoyingPentium 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY previously-spotted used-to-live-around-the-corner Estelle is now for sale on marketplace!!! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/435285711748028/ Up for a not unreasonable £2k, but I do wonder what I could have got it for last year if I'd left a note on it, as planned (assuming it's changed hands since then). Also, one owner and 30k! I wish I had some money because it looks great. It's also exactly one year younger than I am.

I think so, there were a few different types. The later 130s had the 'doppler effect' seats from the Rapid (but still with separate headrests unlike the Rapid which had sporty* built in headrests). Then there was a pinstripe effect and beige. That looks lovely, if I hadn't just spent a similar amount on the Favorit VRS (as I'm now calling it) I would be very tempted. Does seem a good price these days, though I would be a bit disappointed to end up with a white one when they came in so many fantastic real colours. wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbodies of Coventry used to do this sort of stuff too they built the triumph 2000/2500 ests & the Mk5 cortina convertibles too. Woodhall Nicholson like Colman Milne did ford based Funeral cars at least from around the early 60's & hooper's did some MK3 zodiac (luxury upgrades ) possibly mk4's too. Have to have a think.
