'Reluctantly for sale due to my next door neighbour (Stu_CDX) having been released from prison after the Maestro bonnet affair. Sadly we found some of our cars covered in some sort of polish that we didn't recognise. The final straw came when we installed CCTV and found him trying to bum the exhaust, see pictures for details'

This belongs to the serial Victor owner in Spofforth that I met a couple of months ago, here's the photo I took of it:

He is is some unpronounceable Welsh place that possibly means 'Ants-are-afraid of Mechanics' but is actually pronounced Clan Crusader on Toast.

I think it's near Oswestry somewhere.

This looks fun if the sun were ever to come out again.

RHD conversion questionable, since it leaves the central console facing the passenger, but I still would. 8)

All the RHD conversions were like that - it would have cost a hell of a lot of money to replace the dashboard moulding with one that was facing the other way around. Most were done by a London Fiat specialist who imported them before Fiat UK brought the official LHD cars in. I think they had a three letter name but I can't remember what they were called.

Christ, He must burn out his battery every time he turns his lights on!

 

I'm going to break my 'don't re-post pictures' rule here. That Hunter is absolutely MEGA, please buy it Mike.

Probably a good thing. I can imagine a 2.8l volvo meaning you'd be doing a lot of 'waiting for payday' :mrgreen:

That Hunter looks the business, but all those lights are GR9 for overheating problems.

Poor old five-pot Passat, presented in Diamond Silver over maple-effect Formica that's well beneath its dignity.

 

ALL PHOTO'.S WERE TAKEN ON WEDNESDAY'S

That Hunter is brilliant, very period.

 

I like the Volvo 760 too, haven't seen one that early in years - I always remember the different fancy script they had for the badges.

Another one to squirrel away methinks.

2-owner Maxi with 30k on the clock and a year's MOT. Not super cheap - £1230 and counting - but a bit of alright.

 

I'm getting all fidgety about the green Princess, which ends in an hour. Will my auction sniper do the trick...?

Seems a bit pricey for a Maxi, but on the other hand I'm kind of glad they are starting to make half decent money. Means people have started to appreciate them a bit more.

 

Recon the Marina must be the ex-Practical Classics one. Can't be more than one done up like that, can there?!

Frig me, that Marina is da bomb! Just like the General from the old issues of Practial classics (IIRC).

Yep I remember that, photoshopped to look like they were jumping a hump back bridge and getting 10ft of air!

Of course it was! :D

 

The launch in May 1995 of the new Fiat Spider the Barchetta made for a seamless transition as a company, from classic to modern. We imported the first of them, stripped down to the bare essentials and converted to right hand drive (just to see if it could be done) it could, but was not really financially viable, as over 100 hours went into each conversion. We converted 6 models, including one for TVs Top Gear and two for export, but no more!

Unemployment forces sale. Unemployment of brain I'd imagine.

The paintwork is a real one off. One side is a picture of Kevin Rowland with an elastic band under his nose...

'It's rumoured they were going to start a new super group called 'Dexy's Midlothian Runners' and this was to be their tourbus. To prove this I found a handwritten songsheet in the glovebox containing the following lyrics, hastily titled 'Spitroast Eileen:

 

 

When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who Comes on Eileen

When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who Comes on Eileen's face with you

If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who gets sprays this van badly

And if I start coming yeah I know I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be the man who's Coming on Eileen's face with you'
