E series Marinas should have 6 cylinders but the brown auto would do until a 2.6 turns up.

That's sooooo earlier this year. The term now in fashion is hot rod.

He pretty much opens the ad with

 

 

 

He then describes the faults surprisingly detailed. Even if you add them all up, the car merely requires some tidying and is far away from necessitating a full restoration.

 

Then comes this classic:

 

 

It made my day before 8am.

 

 

 

What amazes me about the Allegro is how well they have survived. Thinking back, they were never a rot prone car whilst everything else BL made, was.

I’d be happy with any motor, the Big Six would just be a bonus!

What you really want is the twin carb 2.6 from the Austin Kimberley.

Damn! 

 

It's going through in 2 hours time. 

 

It's at £225 plus fees so someone wants it quite badly. It was probably a decent car when new.

The fascinating thing about eBay, and the real reason why I spend so much time on it, are not the cars, which are overwhelmingly clapped out wrecks too hanging for even scrapping. It's the mind blowingly daft horseshit people write and the gloriously half arsed photos they deem worthy of taking up bandwith. I also have this total obsession with the surroundings they photograph their rubbish in. How many people in the fifth wealthiest country on the planet carve out an existence on a plot that makes a village in the Democratic Republic of Congo look posh in comparison, and then post photos of it on the internet, is staggering!

 

Couldn't agree more. This thread is great because of all the absolute lunatics selling vehicles out there, as much as the vehicles themselves.

That's not bad value. Imagine the stuff you could drag home with that.

'This is one rare car. The only Aubergine 75 Contemporary CDTI (diesel) that Longbridge ever produced'

 

Lovely advert to be fair, just as it should be done.

I seriously pray that nobody is going to molest it.

Why did I watchlist it? Help me!

Reading the blurb, I wonder if this is a derivative of the Holland Coachcraft streamliners? Coachcraft disappeared during the war as the company could not get work and the founder seems to have gone a bit doolally as a result, but there does seem to be a resemblance. It was built for a laundry which was the primary market of Coachcraft's products. Fantastic shape.

 

 

I would think the motability cars would have been automatics, but please prove me wrong!

 

I can drive a manual, but I need to ware an ankle brace boot which is very cumbersome and creates its own issues.

I've read that people particularly keen on driving manual vehicles despite leg weakness have fitted brake servos to the clutch hydraulic circuit, no idea how successful or easy it would be.

Ever tried sitting on the back of a very wet Newfoundland dog shaking itself as you try and take pictures of your Ford Capri?

Begging for people to read the advert fully, but typing like an unpunctuated machine gun.
