Shitting Christ! You may as well save the money and ride around on a bright pink moped with a light-up traffic cone on your head shouting "HELLO OFFICER. WHY YES I AM INDEED TRANSPORTING AND SELLING ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES. HOW DID YOU GUESS?!"

If that J7 were for sale over here it would be up for 4x the price with "NOT CITREON H VAN IDEAL ARTISAN COFFEE STREET FOOD HIPSTER BELLEND CONVERSION" in the advert title.

PS: when are Leboncoin going to pull their fugging heads out of their arses and allow more than 3 photos on an advert?  It's 2018 ffs, computers have more than 32MB of RAM these days.

This must be the 215th appearance on eBay for this car

Pretty sure a previous owner of this once attempted to sell me what was THE most fucked VW Sharan in the world EVER.

Wow I bet that is utterly fucked underneath. Odd looking thing; predates actual GTEs by about 4 years (and various details don’t match) so probably an SR or something that’s had the kit slapped on it. Thought it may be a super rare “mk1” GTE but they’re LHD only.

Look at this!

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

 

down rated to 3.5 ton

which means that anything more than a packet of cheese & onion in the back is going to put it overweight and thus renders it utterly useless as a lorry, but it also means that anyone (not just old farts like me) can drive it on a car licence.  4-pot turbo diesel too so probably better on juice than my van.

 

Verdict:  MEGAWANT.

You can thank God on knees that it isn't on Minitel.

Seller doesn't quite get eBay it seems - the car is also up for £800/offers Classified Ad in a separate listing. The photos are different and a little better than the efforts in the above listing.

By the time that's had black and white number plates fitted and is being driven by a 14 year old 'scrap metal business' owner with half a haircut, the weight's not going to matter.

About £1,100. Air Con.  In Australia. Shipping is about £750. Then your other expenses on top.

How nice does this look? Almost completely unmolested apart from a few small pieces and the wheels of a later car, which I think really suit it. 1997 makes it one of the earliest, too.

As a side note, I think I've missed my chance to get one of these for cheap - that black one that was posted here yesterday is already at £520. For a Cat C Saxo with no service history that's been off the road for the last 4 years. Just seems crazy to me....

Aah, in that case it's actually Redmi 4 Prime, about a year old. MIUI8 but waiting on MIUI9 coming along, Android 7 basically.

Oh Jayzerz, look at that steaming pile of shit.

Registered as a blue 1939 Austin with a 900cc engine. I am surprised he didn't mention MOT and tax exempt, only come May the heap of shit will be on a Q plate with no mot or tax exemption

 

Bidding is strong though

The way values of these old crates are going, I'm never going to get another one

 

Then this one shows up for £1300 in Northants.  It's got that rotwein interior too

 

My Mum is very angry at me for seeing her as she' loves it

Wanted another injected 230E really.  Maybe at this age the carb model is a better bet?

W123s seem to be practically indestructible, a bit like the Volvo 200s. They were at one stage absurdly popular with the subcontinental community down here, especially those who had made it in life and wanted to push the boat out a bit.

 

You can still see a W123 being used as a "star car" on Citizen Khan on the telly. I still see a few being piloted around.
