That's the infamous Stondon CX. 'Museum exhibit' eh? Does dumping it outside for a decade count as exhibiting it?

 

Seller's other items and what's in the background are intriguing though. Considering the auction was supposed to be a disposal of the entire collection there's still an awful lot of stuff on site a year after the museum closed.

 

I wondered where it was "displayed" given the rustiness

The CX was outside as quicksilver says. A few of us sat in it last year and it's comprehensively fucked IIRC.

It's fecked.  Seriously it needs scrapping and the interior putting into Panhard's beige one.

 

FTFY.

Is the smaller VM diesel engine, as found in that Alfetta above, as shit as the 2.5 found in Jeeps of the '90s. Come 100,000 miles they would warp their heads and boil themselves.

I think I'm the resident VM diesel apologist but I've owned a couple of old and high mileage VMs, even boiled one and they were totally reliable

Late-plate madness? (As well as wrong-plate shitness)

Looks like it was repainted a week ago, with Poundland emulsion paint.

 

"everything works as it should"

Unlike when it was new then. Vile things J4s. Hard to believe they were made for nearly ten years after the Transit was introduced.  Best as a static exhibit target.

To be fair, there's a photo on Flickr of it at a show in 2012 so the paint's not new.

 

The most extraordinary thing about J4s is that the business end (i.e. aft of the cab) was still doing service in the LDV Pilot until 2006, 46 years after it was launched.

I am lowering the price down from the orihinal £90 to get the bidding started. Hoping it will go for a decent price.

 

Best of luck chap, how's it panning out?
