Like Lexus LS...

 

Price-vise maybe, but not when it comes to reliability and built quality. The Audi is a fragile shitheap, compared to the LS400.

is this what one of these is worth now?

 

gta, so its a turbo body kit and and a big valve mg 1300 engine.

 

nice, i hope the mini owners don't see it!

Y'know what? If that's as good as it looks, I would be happy to pay that. I still remember parking next to an immaculate very early MG over a decade ago and being struck by just how great it looked. And yes, count me as one of the 'Metros Are Better Than Minis' club.

Ahoy team,

 

What's the consensus on these little Rav4s? They're getting fugging cheap, but I assume are ruinous on tax and MPG?

 

£400 for one with MOT and with the price of petrol what it is, are these a good winter 2-litre beater? Plus they're almost classic insurance now (WTF?).

A laguna DCI that has MOT and runs

 

$_57.JPG

 

 

 

The car has MOT until 22nd February 2016 and will need some work to get it through: 

            the low beam does not work which I believe is due to the stalk as the lights and bulbs themselves are fine.
The front nearside shock top mount may need replacing, I have looked at it basically the two discs are a little notchy which I hoped to overcome with grease but the noise is still there, I'm not sure if this would be an MOT failure but I've found that the part is between £65 and £120 from GSF etc. 
I believe these would be the only issues for MOT, two more things of note would be that one rear door seal could do with being replaced and the front bumper/inner arch plastics could do with some attention as a few bits are missing and part of the bumper is held on with a cable tie.

Farmers favourite for £100

The reason the car is advertised as spares/repairs is that the back box has snapped from the main pipe and that the bolt on cradle that hold the rear diff, suspension links etc has corroded and needs replacing. This part is readily available and seems on a quick inspection to be a fairly easy fix. The car does drive but wobbles from side to side.

That BX is a rare survivor, but not as rare as the Reliant behind it, which is the only yellow Reliant van not to have Trotters Independent .....etc painted on it.

£56,400 before options according to CAR November 1989, so yes.  (S-class saloons had been relegated to the 'Boring' section of the GBU by then, incidentally.)

 

A V8 SEC of this era is on my bucket list but an SEL is just a bit too vast.

According to the Bank of England's inflation calculator that £60k in 1989 is equivalent to £134,653 today  :shock:  :shock:

Which sounds horrific - but I just looked and a new S600 is listed at Â£142,735.  Also  :shock:  :shock: .   (The S-Class range starts at about half that.)

The new LWB Range Rover starts at £106k. The next trim level up - the SVAutobiography (whatever that is) starts at £156k :shock:

 

No way did I thought they were worth that much seeing them on the road.

That blue Metro is lovely, shame it looks a bit frilly and is probably more so underneath!

The wheel trimz look great though.

Tax isn't going to be an issue with this, it's only the 1550cc split at this age, so it'll cost the same as any other 2-litre.  Insurance, no idea, probably no worse than an MR2 though.  I quite fancy one, having had a soft-top as my rental car the first time we visited Cyprus.

 

edited to add: I've looked at the listing now.  Holy shit, you had to post that didn't you?  Right price and a proper gearbox!  The only thing keeping my credit card in my wallet is the distance involved.... probably just as well though!
