No pics as they haven't put them up yet but I see on the listings that there is a 1989 F reg Nissan Sunny going through my local auctions tomorrow. Nice mileage, 2 owners.

 

Leominster Car Auctions

 

Tempted to have a look, not sure what it will make.

I wonder if it's cheaper and easier to replace the cylinder head on a 4-pot Bedford diesel than to fabricate a complete new cab for a Dodge 50-series.  Seeing as how this is MOT exempt an' all.

Same goes here.  I'd love something like this to shift light loads, and generally just potter about in.

This looks familiar.  Someone on here?

The MOT ran out earlier this year, but is now MOT exempt and tax exempt

 

Exactly, who gives a toss.

An alternative strategy for that Bedford bus would be to simply pop in a glorious Perkins Phaser 90 engine instead.

  • One of the rarest Mk3s ever made
  • cutting edge technology at the time
  • This one is probably the best of the 4 known examples left in the UK
  • It's very cool (in my opinion )
  • An opportunity to take over as custodian
  • unique piece of history
  • an excellent investment
  • Suit collector of rare and interesting vehicles, or car museum
  • Plus many, many other hits

Clutch gone now - saw it on RR: http://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/206471/1972-estate-variomatic-gillingham-1400 - don't think he's updated his AT ad

 

 

4 bags of sand!!

 

 

Neat - I didn't' know they did the stop/start thing back then. But 4k is crack-pipe price for sure.

Is that lacquer or paint peal on the floor?

 

This one seems pricey at 20 grand but at least it goes which is important to some people.  I'd have thought parts availability was pretty good for these although it's probably not the same vintage driving experience as something from the 1930s

They are rather an odd mix. The car is far ahead of it's competitors. Road holding is exceptional. It is front wheel drive. Independent suspension. Loads of torque, but not very fast. There are no chassis rails so you sit lower.

But you still have 30´s things like opening front screen. Bakelite in the interior. Non synchronic gears at all levels! Drum brakes and no servo. Steering quite vague.

Top speed was around 75MPH.
