He's also selling this - but with no number plate/registration details, would be even more useless than it looks.

Shoot me as it's a Gumtree article, but it's a nice piece of fresh Soviet Shite:

Small pointers:

"Complete and genuine car." Oh good.

"Rust free!" Check again.

"Brown leather interior." Oh yes!

Bulgarian LHD import but oh well.
"We can pick up any potential buyers from London Central Line station." Yes yes completely genuine seller. I'l bring extra cash just in case.

Oh, and here's a VAZ 2107 (Sporty!) with a very nice shade of hearing aid beige and tacky white wall tyres. That colour in Farrow and Ball terms would be called "Dead Deer" from the "Dead Salmon" range.

Colour choice wins my approval. Hideously low milage. Comes with DVDs and portable player as it's a speckle survivor and waz featured in a programme called "Flipping Bangers"

As a quick addition, Car and Classic is full of droolworthy shite I look at it quite a few times.

[somewhatfoolish]

It could be Tina Turner's chariot in a shit remake of Mad Max 3. The pop rivets aren't even inline! What an utter bag of shite.

Somehow I can see that. What boat did this anchor once upon a time?

 

 

engine has been stripped but all seems complete

He's quite unsure about whether all is here.

Engine in bits on a floor with bumpers and all. Apparently the floors are solid. Interesting.

£1500. Bargain by Bagful or Beat it before it Bites?

So it isn't very tidy.

This place never ceases to amaze me.
Disabled edition so includes lift.
Features "many windows" and:

An entirely safe gas hob with plastic fire "protection" and no supports. What could possibly go wrong with that?

Project plan:

1. Buy an MGF that could have been fixed.
2. Buy a mini pick up that could have been fixed.
3. Cut away enough of each car that they could never go back on the road again.
4. combine with gaffer tape and false promises.
5. Spend 16 weeks making wheel arches that don't actually cover the wheels.
6. Change your mind and lob it on ebay.

The words are basically horse manure though. Series 2 was launched with the 4.2 litre engine only but for the 1975 MY (so during 1974) it got the 3.4 too - essentially to replace the 2.8 from series 1 (which was always underpowered). Seller seems to think the car is unique (it's not) and so does his 'Jaguar mechanic'. Shame really as it looks nice and 'early 3.4 series II' would be an honest description in my opinion.
