I'd rather contract beriberi disease and be confined for 18 weeks to the front room of Mavis McSporran's Bide-a-wee-While Blackpool B&B right opposite that back-and-front of a bloke on the street who sells those Irish music CDs that sound like Jimmy fucking Cricket with a Record no. 9 vice squeezed onto his bollocks as he's singing Elvis songs through a colander in the middle of a bad case of the Farmer Giles and constipation.  In the middle of twatting winter.

The advert is actually hilarious in its use of contradictions. "All work done" but needs the brakes overhauled, and numerous other bits replaced. What a heap.

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.

Is that dirt cheap? Ive always fancied one but thought they were always nearer the £3k-£4k mark minimum?

[cort16]

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 .

I love the fact that some lunatic imported a Rover 2000 into NZ, despite the fact 2000s were never sold here. And they manufactured SD1s in NZ anyway.

 

 

I do love the 'purity' of the mingebag models and they're still one of my all time favourite steel wheels, too. YUM.

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. 

 

https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/vauxhall/auction-1421291104.htm

 

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?

[Jon]

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

 

 

 

 

 

Check out that seat cloth!

 

 

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?

Wow ... That's nice.

 

Keep fit windows all round for extra win too!

Same money as the R16:

 

 

Worth it for the widened steels with standard trims.

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.

 

https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/mazda/auction-1442638972.htm

 

 

 

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.

[Ghosty]

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.
