due to the presence of several LS400's i've actually taken to looking properly at what is around to but, with real money!

 

not that anything is wrong with the Rover save shagged droplinks (again) and i think front wishbone bushes (again) and also the fact that i've owned the Rover for 18 months.

 

but, this is in Scunthorpe, has not got silly miles on it (110K) and is for sale for £995, which is the right sounding price.

 

and its a nice colour too.

plus the mot history is also pretty clean, only one that stood out was a fail a vouple of years ago for the ABS light been on.

 

no mention of corrosion, which is nice.

Oooossshhhh I like that Carlton. Anyone remember when they came out? It sticks in my memory as a BIG DEAL although I was only 12 at the time. I remember getting my regular pre-ordered copy of Autocar from the newsagents and soaking up all the intel.

I was even into shite cars as I child. I seem to recall being more excited when the Metro went to five doors.

I think it was about 1986 as I worked in a Vauxhall main dealers when they launched it. They made a big thing about ACT advanced chassis technology. Which was supposed to make them handle really well. The advert demonstrated it against a "normal" car which if I remember rightly was an NSU RO80. I also remember the GL had no end of trouble with wheel trims falling off, we sold hundreds of them.

Looks like shit but it's a 5 speed manual with LPG for £425.

I realise these are far too specialised for this site and you plebs couldn't possibly understand them, but they're a nice thing all the same.  No MOT though, and the fact that it's quite obviously on a lift in a garage in one of the photos doesn't bode well.

Yes it's not shite (yet), but it's a V6.

That's gone straight on my watch list. I like the Laguna coupes as much as I dislike the saloons.

 

Plus, lots of beige.

Just had an email from eBay (item you are watching is ending in4 hours, or whatever) but interestingly it included:

 

'Current bid: £210.00 (reserve price: £1,500.00)'

 

 

This sort of surprised me as I reckon it'll put some buyers off bidding if they think the reserve is too high, thus denying the chance of a second price offer or better end price. Probably academic as it might suit some people knowing what the reserve is, and people will bid or not as they see fit, I just don't think it's a good idea.

Thgose wheels are dangerously close to the owner needing a virtual e-punch to the knackers. They look pissing awful on that Cortina.

I wouldn't recommend buying that one. No diesel engine, for a start. Subaru diesel engines are a liability, sadly. 

 

Domestic market touches aside, (Alcyone badges front and rear, 'Boxer' plenum cover and cool Axminster carpets) the box will probably be buggered. 

4EATs don't like sitting around - and they're attached to an integral radiator/box cooler which explodes. A lot. 

 

You could get all the Alcyone bits apart from the light bar for about £150 all in from Rinkya/Yahoo auctions. 

 

There's a British market pearl white jobbie (a stunning 'candy' metallic used well before any of the European manufacturers offered it) starting at £2k which is far nicer - and has an external slushbox oil cooler.

Those poorly chosen alloys on the Cortina are probably worth a fortune to the Cosworth lickers.

 

Buy it and win twice.

The second one is better, God alone knows what a 'coach wanker autograph' is but it was £1.00 and the buyer wasn't happy.
