I would rather it was crashed and repaired personally.

Vauxhall Brava, you don't see those often. Especially not with Rover V8s and a suspect choice of embellishments...

This is the v8 discovery I was on about in the news thread. Fuck knows what the nudge bars are for. Car auctions, boats or nudging pensioners cars out the way in the super market car parks? Who knows? Also the engines are pretty much guaranteed to fail in some manor or another. WANT.

That's ex-Met police. The nudge bars will have been fitted by them for ramming bad guys or some such.

This TR7 with a vitesse motor looks like it's got a lot of potential.

I wonder if I'm the only one to think, on first reading that " that's a lot of work for a 2-litre six cylinder,with less power than the original"

With the abolition in a couple of months time of the VI Check, things like this, which are already happening and are entirely legal, are going to get more confusing.

"THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DAMAGED OR IN A ACCIDENT, THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS SHOT IN THE VEHICLE SO DUE TO BLOOD CONTAMINATION IT WAS RECORDED CAT B."

 

The industry classifications have no basis in law, it is a voluntary, industry system.  Even now, while As and Bs should be sold at auction to licenced members, and the AA & RAC etc., would have you believe they can never be returned to the road, some do actually get returned to their owners as salvage.  Some can and do apply for a VIC, and if it hasn't been given a Certificate of Destruction, they should get a slot and if they are wise enough to bring the car up to scratch, put it in and pass an MOT and then present it successfully for a VIC, they will get a V5C.

 

If the insurance industry didn't make so much income from the salvage auctions, don't you think they would demand a CoD for every A and B that they declare?

I think I'd spent the extra few grand one and get one someone hadn't been shot in.

Pretty sure we've seen this one VERY recently.

Double the money now, and I doubt it had it's timing belt done in the end.

I SO should have bought it.

While we're on Fords from the 70s... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-CORTINA-2-0-GL-S-pack-Est-5sp-Restored-to-a-Stunning-Finish-46-500-miles/252044183536?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D29973%26meid%3Dbb391d7e74bd49edbeaa9d2a6aebbccd%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D271945524442

 

I do find it a bit bizarre how, what was such a normal car in its day, can be fetching quite high prices now. My dad got rid of his 1600 Capri Mk3 for 50 quid in 1999, only to see them start to go up in value about 18 months later! All of that said, I would quite like to own one at some point as it was the car I remember growing up with. Maybe I've answered my own question and I'm part of the problem - maybe the same goes for many Fords of that era!?!? Dammit.

Or how about a 90s Granny, sir..? 

 

"In need of TLC and sorting out" apparently... and a hoover. Why is it seemingly so hard for people to hoover their cars out before they post 'em up?

These appal and delight me at the same time. Every time someone says the word 'beige' to me, I think of one of these...

I wonder what sort of dream you'd be having to really, really want to [waste someone's time trying to] buy a half finished kit car..
