eBay tat volume 3.

[Schaefft]

Twattish question here: why would someone go to the trouble of importing that? 

 

It isn't quick, desirable or unusual. It may well be meat n' veg motoring in the US but by British standards it's a big, heavy car that pisses through fuel and with spares that aren't a phone call or a short trip away. 

Unless someone with a fair bit of disposable income wanted to do a cop car replica - and there can't be too many of them - who's going to buy it? 

Considering W-body Impalas were pretty much the fleet cars for any service in need of a "car" up until recently I'd assume they were used here on a US airbase or were brought over by a soldier stationed here. This one isn't exactly well equipped either so it was cheap transport for someone or just part of the fleet. I'm sometimes wondering myself why some of these bottom level cars came over here, I'm sure there are still a few US Escorts and Saturn SL's on the road in the UK.

Yes, that's a Junction Produce President next to it.

But the hammer hangs here:

 

That President just made me jump a little. I just thought about one of them being much easier to find and convert than finding an actual Q45 in this country. And there it is!

[Snipes]

Check out the face on this ugly bastard

And the back of it looks like a shitty Ambulance conversion. Imagine coming out of your house every morning and being confronted with this thing sat on your driveway. Friggin awful

There’s one parked around the corner where my g/f’s parents live in Margate. Been on the road for years and gets driven around the block once a week or so. Took me a while to figure it was a Traffic in disguise.

 

Edit; actually it’s a Winnabago but has the same droop-snoot arrangement as that eBay one.

Bugger me, that is spectacular!

[Rave]

That Żuk is actually an ex fire brigade van. Straż is what the fire brigade have written on the vehicles and uniforms. Fun* fact.

 

When you whiz up behind someone with the Blues and Twos going they will see ZAЯTS in the mirror, which is equally cool if you ask me

Preaching to the converted here, but would you like a Qashqai....Or would you like to really OWN the road in a sea of caramac

I wonder if it's the one I've got in the next issue of Retro Japanese? Can't be many about. Chap decided to sell it before I'd managed to get it in print. It's like someone did a RWD V8 conversion of a Primera and fitted a ton of electronic toys. I thought it was ace.

Beat me to it there, what year of Jeep is that, mid-80s?

That Wagoneer is based on a sixties model though. They were still shifting them in the early nineties !

 

If I got that I'd be heading for divorce. Not unlike Mr White

I love a good ebay 'Stunner'.

Some of a Fiat 600D for £250 BIN.

I reckon this'd make a decent WBOD.

Check out the panel gaps on this sucker. Look at the quality fo the friggin mouldings, those fibreglass 'sills' look like theyre about 2mm thick for gods sake. This thing seriously needs dropped straight in at a local foundry.

 

 

need  fishing lights

 

Admittedly some 'fishing lights' would improve it a bit.

 

 

IT NEED AROUND £3000-4000 TO FINISH IT THEN IT WORTH        £17,000-£20,000

 

 

REALEST BECAUSE TIME WEASTER

 

Mate theres only one 'Time Weaster' in this story

Check out this absurd trinket clearly designed for yanks or other well-heeled mentals.

SHE HAS NEARLY ALL THE PARTS WE CAN SEE TO FINISH THIS WONDERFUL TIME PIECE

 

Eh? That sentence doesn't even make any sense FFS

 

 

WE HAVE SOLD SEVERAL IN THE PAST AND THIS IS THE NICEST ONE SO FAR

 

 

Blimey, fair play if you are actually seeking these things out and bringing them 5000 miles or whatever just to stick on eBay for us to laugh at.

[wuvvum]

Scruffy but cheap V6 Mk2 Mondeo - no mention of MOT though.

Check out the massive spare wheel lashed on the side there! brilliant. Also love how he's put 'MOLSHEIM' in the ad title, that'll get the serious bugatti buffs in won't it.

 

 

Please take note this is not an Original Type 35 Bugatti , It is a REPLICA

 

Blimey, the word 'Replica' doing some heavy lifting there

 

Verdict: Absolute colossal steaming turd. Would make ideal clown car

Hey Reg, this is my favourite of the many 'replicas' on offer at the moment. It's been for sale for ever, of course.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

If you have made a FAT WAD after selling your successful plastering company or whatever, but are not quite talking permiership footballer coin, at £20k this looks perfect for you to do that Gumball rally you've always dreamed of. You will be able to blast through remote Romanian villages chucking shit out the windows and scaring kids and animals, and with a bit of luck will be able to bribe a copper to let you off your speeding fine giving you a good story to tell in the bar when you get home. You massive twat.
