Art is subjective.  I like them and I'm one of those artist sorts.  Mind you, I only like them because in black they kinda look like a hearse.

My dad had a Groanada Ghia Estate that he used as a van.  It was pale metallic green and GR47.

ITS A UK CAR NOT SOME AFRICA

IMPORT WITH STEERING WHEEL ON THE WRONG SIDE

 

 

Clearly this dude has not heard of the British Empire - most of Anglophone Africa drives on the left.

This looks fantastically useful for HIABing, er, stuff you could just pick up with your hands.

99p start.  I can see this going on Billy's watch list.

That reminds me of the story about a VOSA (or whatever they were at the time) doing spot checks on commercials and finding a small truck with an attached crane where the weight of the crane was more than the allowed carrying capacity.

Just too good to be true. Email him to find out what the scam is.

The claimed full restoration appears somewhat at odds with the single MoT on the database.  The car required some welding last September.  It might be that the seller is just new to the biz, but the price seems low, if the car is as good as claimed.

I add that the claimed mileage is bullshit.  102,500 is the likely figure, but the seller is claiming 2,500.

33 years ago, my then 17 year old girlfriend was given £300 to buy a car to learn to drive in, by her Grandma.

Obviously with my expert influence she bought a black 1967 Impala Hardtop with a 283 bellowing like a big block through Cherry Bombs. We both worked in Central London and the summer of '85 was ( in my rose tinted memory) non-stop cruising around in the sunshine - all the windows down and 4 across both benches, partying ,drinking, sh...., well you get the picture. There's a badly deteriorating Polaroid of the Impala with L plates on somewhere , if I can bear to expose my mullet and cap t-shirt, I'll dig it out.

Anyway, it's her 50th next month. Do you think a £25k re-mortgage is sensible in the current economic climate?

Can't see the Impala getting any cheaper and you can't drive a house :)

That Range Rover is so goppingly hideous that I'm strangely drawn to it. The mk2 Astra Cavalier (?) mirrors are a work of twisted genius.
