I took a 4x4 version of that Dodge to an off-road day in a quarry once. Wayyy too big, but genuinely amusing to drive.

Price keeps going down on this - still not cheap but it sounds and looks like one hell of a car

I understand it's a rare car, and don't get me wrong, I'm sure it'd be great for the OMFGSNOWKAOS of trying to get up the drop kerbed driveway of doom, but I've seen two or three in my time on eBay (One was a fully hydropneumatic Estate 4x4 in Light Metallic Blue and one was an Executive 2.0 Petrol). Don't think "Only one in the world" is an appropriate statement, although, I'd like to see what it's capabilities actually are.

Yes, but they are different cars Ben. No 405 4x4s are fully hydropneumatic, it's just the rear suspension. I think it might even have an electric pump?

Peugeot didn't make a 405 diesel 4x4 full stop, it's taken quite a bit of surgery (4x4 floorpan) to make this one.

 

I want it, but can't have it...

Still, a few more quid dropped off it and it's full of win.

No no, I know they didn't make a 4x4 Diesel, but I'm sure the last one I saw had been fully implanted with BX/Xantia technology including the lever to make it go up and down an all.

 

But it was a long time ago :)

 

Bargainous at around the 1k mark though... As long as it's healthy.

Sort of a sporty number, the ARX. 1275 non-MG engine, MG seats with different fabric IIRC. Advertised by Nigel Mansell.

I'm trying to stay off the booze and the result is I'm bored out of my tiny little mind so have been raking through Autotrader for cheap sub 500 quid shite.

 

A 2 litre Petrol C5 a car I didn't know existed until a couple of weeks ago. Probably more bomb proof than the diesel version if it wasn't an auto.

This looks smart and not even lumbered with a giffertronix

Only 32k but looks like a bad photocopy of a mk2 Mondeo

I always think these looked quite smart although I can't see any of those Arab lads rushing to tear up Knightsbride in it this with a 1.6.

1.4 Astra Merit Auto. Not sure if this trumps the misery of my mates old N/A 1.7d Merit Astra he had but it has to be close.

Looks tidy though.

Now this is a seriously bargainous lump of metal for the money. It even has a load of MOT.

What's shiter than a Convertible in the winter. Especially one that's lid doesn't go down.

I guess the SR is about as sporty as these things get. I bet it goes alright though.

That Astra is about the most miserable spec you could get, it's brilliant! I just hope it's an SPi engine too so you can't even overtake anything.

My mate had an Auto Astra exactly like that while we were fixing his Pajero. The Astra was the most miserable, thirsty, boring, noisy unimaginatively designed shitbox. We both hated it, but it was very cheap and available when he needed a car. It was unsaleable, and got baled. HATEFUL.

My mates diesel one was total misery but the thing just went on and on and on until his Mrs put it out it's misery by driving it through a red light and crashing it into a fiesta.

I think the diesel one would be more miserable than a manual 1.4 but the auto bit puts the cherry on the cow pat.

Good grief. Some mightily tempting Teutonic barges in this thread. I seem to have forgotten how utterly dull my Audi 100 was. Sounded fabulous though. Five-cylinder engines are fab.

 

A 16-year old friend had a 1.4 Astra auto when we were at school (Mobility!). Seemed to go pretty well to be honest and put up with horrific abuse - as you'd expect! Think it did about 68,000 miles in three years and cost him a shit load in extra mileage payments...

Carb ones were worse, although, by the time you've wound up ANY 8v Astra 1.4, the HG would fail and then it'd get cubed.

I mailed the seller of that amazing HI-FI Beta. Apparently no MOT and 'carb problem' but it's a runner. I think it is a massive bargain. If I had the means to collect I'd be on my way now.

was in yellow but now in black but it ain't on log book

 

give it a sound hard jetwash. If the paint dont fall off hit it with 20 quids worth of yellow coach enamel. Job done.

 

Looking at the location and username I have a feeling that's owned by the brother of someone I know

Monsieur Testicles, the glass is identical to the HS. And that's where it stops.
