That is fucking perfect. Not perfect in the concourse de elegance type view but perfect as in just the right level of patina and unfinished business.

Perhaps I've been watching too much Roadkill but that has a look that needs to be matched by making it 'nasty' fast.

I'm told the Subaru flat four will mate to a beetle gearbox ?

It's certainly not unheard of to put Subuaru engines into air cooled Volkswagens.

I am going on holiday in 5 days and also live just 5 miles away from this.

Tempted to go and have a look at it.

Got to be worth it just to have a go sitting in those magnificent seats!

I was having a bid on this.  I know y'all think I'm a twat for bidding early - but 1) It gets the price up nice and early out of the poor people's search criteria and 2) helps prevent sellers pulling ads because they think they're going to end up with £2.91 for their pride and joy.

 

I thought it might go for about £1200-£1500

 

It is flying.  I'm out.

I spotted this last night, lovely. I had a c reg in the same colour as this, was a brilliant little car. tough as old boots, I reversed it into a concrete lamp post, post was taken down and the 5 had the rear bumper treated to some boot polish to cover the scuff mark!

 

I'll have to dig out the pictures!

They are indeed tough little cars, I had a C plate 'TC' which due to an altercation with a stolen Cavalier saw me stuff it at 60mph into a stone embankment, ricochet off and broadside a lamp-post - with enough force to put the NS sill halfway into the passenger seat. Then after a couple of rolls it landed back on its wheels. I got out without so much as a scratch. To the point that when the police arrived they didn't believe that I was in that vehicle and tried to arrest me for the theft of the Cavalier.

 

I have some photos of the poor mangled Cinq somewhere, will try and dig them out.

Aghhh

MOT history on that XM shows that rear tyres have been an advisory for wear since 2005. Is that a record?

In my top 10 favourite cars of all time. No serious car collection should really be without one of these imo - just as important as the clap-door Continental and more proof that American cars are not necessarily brash and vulgar, but can be as purposeful and stylish as anything the Europeans were building. Absolutely gorgeous. I'll have one, one day, but not right now damnit

A good friend once told me that you should upgrade the brakes on those as a matter of urgency.

 

He once test drove one and likes to tell the story of how he started braking for a roundabout before the distance markers started, and didn't slow down. He then stood on the brakes with all his weight and still sailed across the roundabout at circa 30-40mph, somehow avoiding an accident. Apparently the seller's face was rather white, and the seller was not at all surprised when he declined to buy the car.

I muzt admit I quite like this. Note someone haz fitted the electric seat adjustment quite neatly into the doors. I wonder what the V5 says. It retains it's early 60's plate and does not look to tricked. If I had it I'd put steels back on and try to normalise it further. 

 

Ah...C2GND is a Mercedes 1999 E55...pity its not on its original plate and log book and then (in tenuous theory) would be tax and mot exempt.

 

For a sixties car it would be a suffix plate e.g. GND 2C.  But you knew that 

 

So it's the old Fintail body hammered over the top of a 1999 E55.  Great idea.

 

Personally I'd lose the spoiler etc and make it look as stock as possible, then scare the hell out of myself by fitting crossplies.

 

That is if it even allowed to be used on the road at all.  I think not, hence the sale.

There is nothing like a well worded advert with clear picture.

i do love BL's chubby little looser though, and in such a magnificent colour, blaze?

 

Colour is Vermillion.  And what's going on with the apparent substitute fuel tank in the boot, which the seller completely fails to mention in the advert?

Nothing to do with me, but I saw it on the way home from work and nearly crashed the van.

It's rough but I liked it. £1595 with 12 months MOT. Located just off M1 29A.

Just the kind of thing I'd like to smoke about in, but at the moment I need an old car like I need another hole in my arse, that said if it was a 3500 I'd have been driving it home, which probably wouldn't be my home anymore once the mrs saw it.

MOT history suggests it's been laid up for ten years.

 

If anyone is interested I can go and have a better look round it, I don't really know where these go though.

Where does he get his MOTs done? I'm not far off Chesterfield, would he need just the reg and a stamped addressed envelope?

 

I can remember when a lot of Rover SD1s looked like this, red oxide round the arches. Could be a good prospect to restore, depends what the welding that's been done is like. Could have been done well or could be a plate over the old stuff.
