I want this an awful lot.

I was hoping that £3000 was a ridiculous asking price for something like this.  I like EVERYTHING about it; how the sparsity flatters the sharp and classic design - the colour palette, the clean MOT, this is the bees knees.

 

Sadly, pricing a car is a science and not an art - and if you look at recently sold MK1s on ebay, it's about right.

 

I like this so much, in fact, that if they had a reasonable finance offering I'd probably say 'fuck it' and have it.  Paying £200 a month for this rather than a new one somehow seems eminently more sensible.

I nearly bought that two years ago!  It's a cracker - and the old V5 with it in her name at their address in the south west should be with the history too.

 

However, it was £1200 a couple of years ago.  It just proves what a decent advert can do...

It has the Honda engine as well being an auto,

I bought one myself for a wbod for £250 and it runs like a Swiss watch I never have to top it up oil and coolant etc it’s just so reliable and the only problem I’ve had was a brake issue with a rear caliper which escalated to quite an expensive bill at the garage.

 

The only criticism I have is the suspension is a bit soft so it’s not exactly planted around sharp bends but it makes up for it when you drive over a massive pothole.

Also if you buy it be careful not to pull the door handle off on a frosty morning I normally warm the kettle up and pour it over the door seal and handle on a cold morning before setting off for work.

The sad 1980s kit car geek in me.. knows what chassis that is... it's for a Jba Javelin.

Which when fully clothed in its Grp becomes a knock off Capri convertible.

£1150 for a V8 Jag that won't ever need welding. Good colour too.

Is there any chance at all of finding one without this grim leather? I bet these are a really good drive but what a shit place to sit.

Same colour as my S Type... Same Interior. Minus the V8 though.

My mechanic has a known good VVT engine out of a MGF he scrapped, been sat on the workshop floor for 3 years, I was seriously tempted to ask him about fitting it into a metro but even at £30 an hour I think the costs would run away , I bet it'd be a right laugh to drive though

Is there any way at all you could make a house in the back of one of these and avoid looking like a crusty juggler?

It must be possible to do a decent paint job and somehow manage to look like an appealing, interesting old truck surely. Mind you I can't see these two achieving it:

 

 

 

If that didn't work, search earth family on YouTube and you will find our channel

 

I did have a look and was unsurprised to find a classic 'well-spoken crusty juggler type' prodding feebly at this truck's damp bits with a screwdriver, clearly not knowing even where to start. Amusingly he points out that he bought it before realising his driving licence does not cover him for driving it. Sure enough here's the truck on eBay a year later with absolutely JACK done on it!

Jesus wept, check this out:

'Class A coachbuilt' he says. You'd need some 'Class A's of some sort before going out through your front door to work every morning, if you knew this ugly bastard was sitting on the drive. What a diabolical eyesore!!

Can you actually do anything at all with one of these things in this country. I suppose you could probably watch telly while sitting in the M6 traffic but could you even get it anywhere near a town like Keswick or Buxton or something? I suspect not. All you could do is park up at a truckstop somewhere and watch all the Latvian drivers shitting in the bushes.

 

 

Don’t look as good in real life

 

Blimey it must be grim.

 

 

we recommend recovery to get it away. 

 

I recommend chopping the fucker into pieces and using a big skip to get it away
