Some of the wankiest wanky numberplate wanking ever seen.

 

 

 

 

 

it shows as SIA6308 and when positioned correctly it spells STAG 30ltrV8

 

 

No, it spells "great big enormous twannet".

That Bedford is a wonderful, gorgeous thing but the price they're asking is rather comical.  Plus I'm not 100% sure a 2006 Iveco engine is a major selling point.

That has been for sale since the internet was invented and has been the but of many jokes,

I guess at that price he will be stuck with it for many years too.

It does look well done but the modern running gear could make it fall foul of the dvla. He has knocked 20 grand off from his original price so it is a relative bargain now.

Saw it in the flesh at Silverstone a couple of years ago, it's beautifully put together, but not terribly roomy.

Those silly little wheels and funny headlights don't look any better in real life either.

I'd rock a Monogram, but the HGF thing is no joke.

 

And no. I'm not just being internet mythy.

 

There's a bloke on the FB page with the most immaculately maintained Monogram car. Serviced by a specialist down to the letter and beyond.

 

Now on its 4th HG.

 

For someone who needs a car to just work the Toyota wins. Which is annoying, as there's something about the MG.

Until the MR2 suddenly starts burning a liter of oil every couple of miles and the sub frame rots out lol....

I'd rather have the mr2

 

I'd like the SW20 (the red one). Rare without a sunroof or t-tops. The lack of a boot spoiler makes me think it might be the 130bhp Carina motor (3SFE) though.

Ambitious pricing on this Elite, and not one photo showing the whole car -

My old red Excel has turned up for sale at a dealer's at over 6K.  The ad does not reveal how shonky the interior is. 

 

I am not sure that I agree about the V8.  A well sorted Lotus 900 series engine is luvverly.

This is almost how Colin Chapman intended the Elite to be. 

 

Er, no, it isn't.

That V8 Elite is giving me the horn in a major way. But you're right, it needs a manual box (and I really like the SD1 5-speed, once it's warmed up). Presumably that's not too big a job to swap though.

I bet it's really horrible.  One thing that Lotus know about is suspension, and Hydrofantastic would not be an upgrade.

You're right of course, but I'm a sucker for a V8. And it's a really groovy shade of orange.

 

One day I have to get me a proper Kandy-Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamlined Baby. While I can still get away with calling it a mid-life crisis.

There's no Bedford left in that! The wheels look ridiculous and the bonnet is completely the wrong shape and looks hideous. It's like Triggers broom, only with less class, there's nothing of the original left.

 

No thanks, not at any price, let alone the price of a house.
