No idea what that writing says, but hope it's something like Tokyo Nipple Cripple Glorious Bumhole Experimenting Department

It's in West Kirby, which is a bit blue rinse/golden showers.

Here's how my dog looks when you ask him if he wants to go for a walk in the rain

Latest on BXgate. Apparently the guy told the PO he wanted the car as a personal pet project and was going to love and care for it etc, so she gave him some money off the asking price without him having to negotiate!

That's a bit cheeky, but she should have done her research (i.e. a quick 30 second google and peruse on eBay) to have seen that it was worth more than she advertised it for. Whilst it is annoying that it hasn't made it's way into the hands of an enthusiast, I think it's wrong to have a go at someone for spotting a bargain and realising there is a buck to be made- or for the PO for being gullible - it's the way of the world I'm afraid.  Sadly, money speaks the loudest. 

Admission: A friend of mine was going to see this on my behalf and we had the intention of doing the exact same thing, having first given it a decent clean and service.  By it dirty, sell it clean, get more money for the same machine. 

Suggestion: BX collective purchase to make it The BX of Many Shiters The 2nd, have a whip around to refund the PO the difference. Karma and all that.....

Yeah, we've all done some deals like that. I part-funded the Palladium restoration by buying some stuff for buttons and selling at 20x what I paid.

All's fair in old cars, but I'm only annoyed because this directly affects me, and I'm selfish, and actually to the PO who obviously really wanted it to go to a good home. tbh I don't think £400 is outrageously cheap for a very leggy BX, even one as clean as that with a long MoT, and I reckon it might take a while to sell at £700.

Sure it'd roffle well at £10 a go though, maybe the seller would compromise :)

Happy to offer my mechanical "expertise"  (my time and swearing) on this as well if it transpires anything needs doing!

I've been looking at those recently, that's the cheapest I've seen by about £300.

I've no doubt about their ability to do the miles and not fall apart, that era of Toyotas were made to last.

The dash doesn't lie!

Or maybe it has been round the clock once?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the 780 is the best looking car of the 1980s, and the most tasteful. Up there with the 130 and Gamma coupés in the understated-but-means-business big bruiser canon. That one's a lot of money, but it's probably worth every penny to look that cool.
