I just had a heart attack. It was rather lethal, so I'm afraid one of you ugly lot has to buy this.

Besides, I have too many cars, too little money, it's too far away, it's in Essex, I already have an estate and a car with a big bloody Ford V8,

I must be sensible, it has dead cows inside, it needs too much petrol, it's in a high tax band, it's made after 1986, I don't like 75s...

 

WANT LEVEL RED!

 

Oh, and entirely btw, I won this thread for today.

I may have already bid on that V8 75 Tourer despite having no idea how I'd pay for it.

If you do win it, I would be able to give a lift to it from Braintree station, even though it is 45 minutes from me.

 

(This offer comes with the condition that I get to be a passenger during the test drive)

Anyone near Cardiff fancy saving this?  I am actually heading that way on Friday, his deadline before it's scrapped, but with my van so can't collect it and it sounds like it might be quite rotten.  I do feel quite sorry for it and it's a rare thing, plus it has the brownest interior ever.

 

No idea how overdrive works or how big a problem it is to fix either!

I am tempted by this but the logistics would be a bit tricky. At a push I could get to Cardiff by the sellers deadline but would prefer to collect it Friday 8th of September. Assuming I won would a Shiter be able to collect it for me and then I could tax it online using the new keepers slip and insure it etc, then if it could be left somewhere on the streets of Cardiff I could get the train down on the 8th and pick it up.

 

This would involve someone filling out the V5 with my details. Would that constitute fraud or something? I notice you have to sign the V5 when buying a car but the DVLA are hardly going to verify someones signature are they?

Get the seller to do the transfer of ownership online if it bothers you.  Although no, the DVLA do not check signatures on V5s.

 

 

Here's a Talbot recovery truck which has had a bit of a biff on the snout.  Still would though.  Especially as it has 3 axles. 8)

Nah it doesn't bother me, someone has bid on it now though and more than the minimum as I just put it up to £51!

 

Think I am going to pass on this as I can see myself getting overwhelmed with cars if I am not careful. It was better in the good old days when a cheap ebay car came with the tax included and you could get seven days free insurance from Norwich Union to get it home.

I could pick you up from Witham Station, just 5 minutes from me, and will save you ages waiting for the branch line train to Braintree.

 

Same condition as Brodders offered

Seeing as I got comprehensively outbid on that exceedingly green Xantia, I may have made enquiries about this instead.

Looks lovely, waiting to establish how bad the HGF is...i.e., will it survive a gentle drive from Cardiff to Devon.  I think I know the answer already but I do rather like it, Shiply is likely to cost more than the car is worth though.

He has told me it's consuming water at a steady rate, I reckon there's a chance it's the inlet manifold gasket but if it's left and driven like that it will certainly result in HGF.  It's low enough mileage as well that it's possibly still on its original rubber-bead gasket.

Leaking hoses, shagged water pump or, most likely as you suspect inlet manifold gasket...deffo not HGF but yup, will happen later if not sorted soon - good negotiating tool to get the price down to £150 ;)
