Wasn't someone on here making a big deal about this colour or something? This one needs a clutch, but can be had for £75!

What, you mean, Bermuda Blue (!!!)    ?

 

I've no idea who would have made a fuss about it. Ridiculous.

What kind of a world is it when a 'built' Fox body is worth far less than a shoddy Mk2 Escort with a weedy 'Mexico' engine swap

To be fair, a £20 note has better torsional rigidity then a Fox body Mustang shell. 

 

"Lads! 'Ere, we've got this porridge Fairmont, who cares if they're still selling cars based off it into the 'Noughties? Daft twats only want to go straight anyway....."

 

There was a bloke who used to go the breakfast meet in Wakefield who bracket raced a similarly aged Mustang; he'd launched it off the line hard so many times the shell had twisted enough to jam the nearside passenger door permanently shut.

Not sure which monocoque shell is supposed to withstand repeated full blast takeoffs courtesy of a 600 foot pounds engine without warping.

That's why people participating in the sport usually brace them extensively.

 

Fox body flimsier than others? I call horseshit.

Thanks!  It's an ambulance at present but the plan is to make it resemble a camper.

 

More than likely it will sit in the garage for a few years till it starts to get in the way and I have to sell it on at a big loss.

Tape over the number plates in a desperate bid to stop people checking the MOT history? That's all I can think people are doing when they do that.

 

Also, even if I was interested in a 4WD Passat TDI, that seller wouldn't even get an email from me because of their twattish numberplate-covering tactics.

This thing had a bog basic 351 "with some fancy cams". That was it.

Its to stop the car being cloned you donkey. If seeing the MOT history is suddenly a deal breaker for you, you could easily go and view it or even ring the dude and ask what the reg number is.

I guess I'm just naive then. Didn't think cloning was that much of a problem. Although, I see the logic now. Searching online for a similar car is by far the easiest option.

 

I retract my statement.

Plus how could a seller actually ‘hide’ the MOT history anyway? He’d have to somehow refuse to reveal the reg no. until money has changed hands!

Check out the power plant on the back of this bad boy. 25 HP Chrysler. My dad had the exact same outboard on his shite boat he had years ago. I remember it's maiden voyage (with us) lasting all of 25 seconds on the Conwy Estuary because the prop fell off.

Am I late to the party here and this has already been pointed out?

Picton 14ft Speed boat

Made me smile a wee bit!

Is that actually something a trader can say if he knows he's selling to the public ?

I think it's fair enough - at least everyone knows where they stand - and to answer your question, as far as I know he's not breaking any laws by stating it, even if the law gives a purchaser some theoretical rights.

When previously listed, had 11 watchers. Don't just watch - make me an offer!

Added to watch list, just for fun.

That XJ looks smashing for £600. Loving the handwritten history too, you can zoom in on the ebay page to read how a true giffer does it.

Old proto-Vario horsebox.  I'd love one of these, but I only have a week's holiday and this one's in Surrey so might struggle to get it home in time.
