eBay tat volume 3.

That's the problem with that kit. The bonnet is the original so still has the strange panel gaps where it use to dodge around the pop-ups. 

That picture only suggests how long the front overhang is. Compaired to the standard rear the whole car looks off balance. 

I like the wheels. They're familiar but I can't recall where from.

The owner replaced it with a Jag, I think, which is now rotting away in the same spot....

That's top shiting if correct - buying and selling chod from beyond the grave is one hell of an achievement!

I actually rather like this too.  Still looks smart in that colour, interior not too garish, and it has a six speed box.  BOOM!

And you get a fiver change from a monkey....

I like that. It's probably just about as good as a AE92 GTi-16 from 15 years earlier. I don't know what the vvti engine puts out, I'd guess about 110, which is the same as the 1.6 16v from the GTi. 

It's probably slower 0-60 as I'd think it'd need another gear change, though I don't know for sure obvs.

I guess I'm trying to highlight the lack of progress Toyota seemed to make in the mid/late 90s.

Not just ANY 4 speed - this has got the 'nippy' 4 speed' box.

Sorry.  I know it's tedious and I'm totally a "man out of time" - but I struggle to see these as anything more than £500.  Exactly the same as Allegros.  Don't get me wrong, I like them - and my mathematics makes no sense as I plough thousands into a Sierra that also should have been £500.

I hope it finds a nice home with someone who loves it, but I'd be overwhelmed with buyer's remorse within an hour at £1500.  I'm not sure how easy it would be to move on either.

Enjoy/suffer the same rollercoaster of emotions I have this year by rescuing and restoring a car that's been laid up since forever.

Offers based on £500.  It's in Newmarket and I'd be honoured to film the "cold start" video for you in 1080p HD.

Cheapish way into classic ownership.

It's a shame that British rust is so damn ugly, compared with the sun bleached glory of the "fly over" states for example.  Still, not much actual NEED to improve - but plenty of scope if you so wish.

+ more doors for more wh*res.

Take all the shit off and you've probably got a nice Focus with some decent wheels.  Not for me - but it's £500.

Didn't someone on here suggest the Jensen was being sold as the owner wasn't actually alive?
