However.

 

If this

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-champ-project-barn-find-/142494855478

is

 

 

Classified Ad price: £6,000.00

 

and this:

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-Champ/352156713256

s-l1600.jpg

 

is

 

 

£5,995.00 BIN

 

then I know for sure I'm dealing with two complete fuckwits and the cars aren't worth half a bag.

 

Also, there is this:

 

 

would make a great car for an enthusiast.

 

 

Have I ever told you that I'm sick and tired of dealing with these stupid monkeys?

Do these ocean going thunderdolts really think any non enthusiast would even click into the listing?

It's a bit like saying would suit animal lover when trying to flog a horse.

 

Jeezerz fucked.

A bit more of the daily dose of stupid shit:

 

 

gearbox is fairly smooth.

 

Does this mean it's fucked? Or not? Or what's the fucking deal?

 

 

Leaks a bit underneath, but thats champs for you.

 

No, it isn't. It's an oil seal being fucked. Is it really too much to ask which one it fucking is?

 

 

Could do with some work on the electrics , rewire or a new old stock loom would be a major benefit

 

So why don't you say loud and clear that the famous Champ specific electric system is fucked and needs to be replaced?

 

 

Trying to be fair and honest

 

Yeah, but you of course fail miserably, you fucking rotter.

 

 

yes it does need work but the price reflects that.

 

The price reflects fucking shit. If being favourably, the price merely reflects the illusion that any fucked old heap must be worth a wad.

 

 

Pics show that she has been loved.

 

The pics would hold up in court to prove that nobody gave a fucking shit about it for forty years.

 

 

The filtrate is, it's a fucked through Sun and Moon scrap heap with fucked electrics, a fucked engine, fucked gearbox,

trying to be qualified off as a classic car for 6k. Yes, 6,000 Pounds. Which soon will be 4 Euros.

 

And now you know why.

In this condition they are like shit from a rocking hen with teeth.

 

Any questions?

 

How hard is it to do a heater core on these?

 

How about another one:

Or a pair of possibly fucked ones:

Heater core is a royal bitch, sadly a weak point of these.

 

Also note that all Mi 16s have totally unacceptable gear boxes.

Agreed on the gearbox

Who has the time, effort, motivation and money to change their own gears these days anyway?

 

And who needs a heater in Australia anyways, its hot enough here as it is!

Apologies is this one has already featured:

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/proton-saga-1-5se-classic-car-/112543091361?hash=item1a34174aa1:g:OPUAAOSwlTNZlDiD

 

It's the origami-tastic Proton 1.5 SE saloon, located in Cannock. Bidding up to £227 but reserve is not met with one day left to go. Might be worth keeping an eye on if any of you shiters fancy one.

So after I've paid your 'brokers fee' .....

 

How much does it cost to ship a car from Oz to the UK... Any idea?

Last time I checked it was 1,300 quid for the passage, plus port handling fees, so 1,800 to 2,000 all in.

However, transport tariffs actually went down a bit lately.

Love that. I wanted one way back as my second or third car. They were rare then...

There's a shortcut to changing the heater matrix on the 405, you can cut a hidden piece of the dashboard out to make it easy.

It was about £1500 for a container that would fit two cars in. A friend imported two Citroen tractions from NZ. But this was years ago and I've no idea whether it's gone up or down since.

Thank you Mr J.

 

Still viable then ...

 

Was keen to try one after owning the ex Shitpeas-DoubleWilson/John K 405 dizzler estate.

I dint spend anything like that, when importing weirdos from Oz.

 

But the rates have gone against us, fuel oil is more expensive ( so they sail slower) and it's harder to do it now without a broker.

But, if you do want to do as much of the graft as possible, it's a runner and close( ish) to a sensible dock, I'd expect a normal saloon sized runner on ro-ro to cost around £1500, landed.

Non runner? Whole added ball of pain / cost. Add £3-800, dependant how fussy you are on packing/ timescale etc
