eBay tat volume 3.

That mega-cheap ZS is back up on a 3 day sale - finished last time at £320 but clearly the sale went awry. As the rather humorous seller notes:

 

 

 

IF THE CAR IS OUT OF YOUR BUDGET WE PROBABLY WONT ACCEPT YOUR OFFER SO RESIST THAT TEMPTATION AND KEEP YOUR SNICKERS BAR, SEGA MEGADRIVE PETROL LAWNMOWER ETC YOU WERE HOPING YOU COULD PX ON.

Watchlisted...again

It needs welding and no mot so you're really spinning the dice on how much welding it needs and if the dreaded brakes need work . You could easily spend the purchase price fixing it.

They're notorious for looking okay outside but being rotten underneath .

Internet all round nice guy yoeddynz is selling his magnificent Viva (great thread on retrorides)

The level of detail is quite frankly, astounding (including home made rear number plate, as one was missing)

All this for a shade under £7800 is mega value, in my eyes.

That said, if a tastefully modified British car is not your cup of tea, why not start a thread on it, to show everyone how furious you are?

This has been on Trademe for weeks now, at £1800 ono.

I'm sorely tempted to make a derisory offer, despite very much not needing it, or having any space left. Would be great to float around in for a bit but who would buy it from me once I was done, if no one wants in now?

Well that pissed on my bonfire

Arguably my two favourite Mazdas:

Minus points for aftermarket, conventional stereo and not the oversized home stereo eject mechanism version many of them came with.

Another level of excellence, right here.

If this were mine, the first thing I'd do was frame this piece of art work which masquerades as an owner's manual, to remind me every day how I've won at life.

You may find yourself not wanting to sell it.

That 420 is weird. Trim's been blacked out inside and out, mirrors aren't the same colour as the car, ride height is absurd, wheels from a 6/800, and clearly had a front end prang (badly aligned facelift bumper with no paint, and look at the gap on the driver's side). Non airbag steering wheel isn't right either as everything else on the car is facelift, it would have had an airbag. Again, accident damage?

 

As for the MG instruments: I have no fucking idea.

MGF white dial kit possibly? Does sound like it has been made from several cars

Posted

Just googled - yes, early MGF dials - in fact you could probably swap the cluster.

 

The cone filter again points to 'it's fucked'.

*if you are a little bit ick in the head which i am.

 

I'll have you know this is the King of the hill Super DeLuxe version of the 1300, complete with such luxuries as heated rear window and reversing lights (I know, oooooh!!) - I sold it it a few years back with the fake wood on the dash intact, so lord knows why it now has a base spec dash

6/800 wheels don't fit these, they're from a 420 Gsi executive
