eBay tat volume 3.

5-pot diesel Marea Weekend - needs sills welding, but cheap enough.  These are actually quite a decent steer, and sound good for a diesel.

 

 

It went for £166. I actually clicked on it when the auction had 2 mins to go, but thought better of acquiring a fourth MOT-less car. Apparently a remap takes these to 190 bhp, so I would very much like to try one at some point...

'First Time Up The Tradesman's'

 

 

​'Me 'ubby was a postman, to various Norfolk halls

an' every Christmas for a treat, e'd get invited to their balls

​I'd beg and plead to let me go, got down on 'is van floor

got bloomin' awful carpet burn from the brushed red velour

After many years of bendin' 'is ear and comin' up with a cunning plan

​we 'atched a plot to sneak me through the back usin' 'is Post Office van

an' so it was in seventy six, with n'er a cloud in sky

​he promised to take me up the tradesman's but only if it's dry

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

'e said that if I got all moist there'd be damp patches on the floor

​and the 17th Duke of Kings Lynn would find us out for sure

​so 'e took me up the narrow trademan's and made sure I was dry

but by God it weren't 'alf painful, and without lube I did cry!

Shh, he said! as he pushed me hard, you'll wake up 'alf the hall!

Well, I'll tell you now dear listeners, I ain't really that thin at all,

Then our exertions woke the duke, though he really was so kind

he didn't even bat an eye as I was entered from behind

what a relief the great man 'imself did never once appear to flail

'e even laughed when he did slip upon my post coital trail

so thanks to dear old dukey boy, the party was ablaze

an' we all 'ad a merry time, though I couldn't sit down for days

but our story does not end there, 'e said I'd get procural

an' the Duke gave me a work of art, he said it's called a mural

it's really a gift for the both of us, a reminder of many things 

​the fun we 'ad at the party and my 'ubby's first brown wings

It can't be too far off the mark I'd have thought, perhaps £500-£750 less, but then you might lose it by bidding low. Thing is though, if you like it and you can afford it, then why not?

Why you no use search?

 

My internets are being deja vued.

Why not? I quite like that, in a microcar sort of way. Would be ideal for running me back and forth to the shed, actually, although too expensive just for that.

 

I also like the contrast with the seller's other car, a Merc CL63 AMG.

Anyone know if this is a reasonable price for a 164. I have pretty much sold the Peugeot 202 as soon as it is finished so started looking for something different and maybe it's time to move away from French chod.

I paid £350 for mine, if that's any help.  Although that was 14 years ago.  And mine wasn't as shiny, even then.

a vauxhall with one owner up until 2015 doesn't sound that impressive.

 

but when the vauxhall looks like this

s-l1600.jpg

now that is something that IS impressive!

 

great isn't it?

 

i cannot afford it, got nowhere for it, and if i owned it i'd ruin it. Ah well........

Looks ripe for a redtop dropping into it.
