You've more chance of finding the arc of the covenant than changing the spark plugs on the opposite bank.

"Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday dear Charlie,

Happy Birthday to you!

 

And look what we've got my little darling for his seventh birthday!"

Fucking hell, dad, I asked for an XBox with Grand Theft Auto, not to be bullied throughout my entire time at primary school.  Please tell me I was adopted.

God that is indeed lovely, but I'm trying to be good.

 

Although my watch list does appear to be chock full of cheap gallic chod at the moment...

It is a beauty, but looks like it could make strong money

That Diabolical replica looks like it was dropped off a ledge 40 foot up.

A phase 2 Savanna went for a grand recently, so it should top that easily.

 

I'll probably lob a bid on this slightly shonky 5 instead.

Vendor says "Credit debit cards accepted but subject to 2.5% charge."

 

Hmmm, I don't know how traders get away with this, it's illegal to charge for a different method of payment as opposed to cash, discount for cash is also a no no for any reputable place of business.  In theory you ask for a discount then pay that price by card and they have to accept it.  However a smack in the mouth is more likely.

Credit debit cards accepted but subject to 2.5% charge.

That Quadra has been on before, didn't someone here buy it ? What worries me is there is no mention of mot and the reg number doesn't come up on the mot site so has probably been transfered off it. The Quadra system won't work even if you did re-fit the prop and I bet the interior isn't as nice up close as the pictures suggest. There are a lot more of these about especially down here in the west country The one I had was really shabby inside mainly due to age, The materials just don't age well. The oil in the viscous coupling also only has a set lifetime and that expired many years ago on these so finding one that actually has working 4 wheel drive would be a miracle. It does look nice though just be prepared to be disapointed as they are not that great to drive.

Spoke, via text, to the original seller when it was on last time. All arranged to go down and see/buy it, but they called it off the night before. Told me it had to much sentimental value so would be staying in the family.

That now appears to be bollocks.

Think the new owner/seller simply made a better offer.

What do you think, could get to about a grand I think, but I'm out at about 600/700...Still will if I can.

But also trying to view that white 21 tomorrow!

I had two Renault 21's with that engine and they were absolutely fucking dreadful. By far the worst cars I've had the misfortune of owning the only mystery is how I ended up with two of them. I'd rather have my eye balls licked by a poison frog than own another one.

Of course it has, the Ebay listing says G*** ****.

 

Clicking "Get the vehicle status report" gives: cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewJumpPageForVehicleHistory&vrm=Rzc3NXRybw%3D%3D&vrm_d=G***%20***

 

Lob that through: https://www.base64decode.org/

 

Which is G775TRO.

 

Shows here as being returned to it 2 months ago after a 25 year gap: https://cazana.com/uk/car/G775TRO

That Wolseley looks stunning, but sadly being an 18/85 doesn't have the number of cylinders a gentleman requires.

 

Speaking of bus-like driving positions and B-series engines, have you bought that Sherpa yet?

 

B Series can kiss my tuchus.  O Series for the win.
