Yours truly once owned the sister car to this. There was a third one, which has been banger raced by Sonic many years ago.

Junkman, this is quite worrying, I think you might be me in some sort of parallel universe. I tried to buy one of these about 25 years ago, having spotted it being towed down Penarth Road, Cardiff, behind a Range Rover. (I believe it had been bought from the old film studio at Penhow) It turned up in Bridgend at a building salvage yard, I was very taken by the P100 lamps, twin side-mount spare wheels and the beautiful bevelled glass to the "loadspace". I lacked anywhere big enough to store it undercover, so had to make do with an Austin 2200 Landcrab hearse instead. I know it disappeared after a while to that England

I think I was at that meet. At the end of the Demolition Derby it was just Sonic and Mario that were left running. Every time they hit each other the track was showered with gold rings and stars.

Sorry to say, I remain unpeased. Has to be pre-facelift for me. Sad I know. Thanks for thinking of me though - appreciated. :)

 

Never mind that. Looking at the MOT history, it seems to be exceptional at failing it's test. It may have a ticket, but it seems like it will fall to bits after a week. If it had a better history and snooze control, I'd have an itchy trigger finger.

'as you can see frame been cuted'

 

It's almost worth the £10 start price and the fuel to Crewe just to laugh at this for a bit then come home again.

Wrong fuel, right price. Absolute bargain this (assuming it checks out ok) for £200 with a full test.

GB sticker means it's had a hard life though and was probably owned by someone who took it abroad so it must be fucked.

600 quid cadillac with a 2017 MOT. It has some problems going backwards like but how often do you need to go backward, once, twice a day. FUCKING live with it won't you?

I had a Morris Marina estate with no reverse gear years ago, absolute sodding nightmare. I even managed to push into the front of a car behind it, but it was ok because it was my boss's car and he was a right bastard, so I just moved up the road a bit.

Similar, but a bit older. Less than 34,000 miles. MOT into 2017. £600.

1999 Swaffham Earthshaker, IIRC. I was there, too.

Mine was a Woodall-Nicholson that found its way to Cavan, Eire, where I bought it straight from the undertaker, in 1999.

I did a bit of tarting up and hired it out to funeral directors for "themed" funerals.

The most memorable thing was driving it with pumpkins and stuff on the coffin deck up and down O'Connell Street on Halloween.

When I left Ireland, I sold it together with all my other hearses to a collector in Cork, who, as I was told,

did a proper refurbishment and still owns it.
