Assume that you knew about this one's existence?

Yes, this is 'the other one'. I tracked it down and went to see it to take various photographs to see how the thing was supposed to be put back together. The vendor didn't know anything about it, and had never driven it nor did he intend to. He was a used-car dealer who had no interest in old cars at all and was clearly hoping it would come good as 'an investment'.

I wanted to go back and make some detailed measurements of the seats, but the guy told me it had sold 'to somebody in France' which I assumed was bullshit but here's the confirmation. I think I know who is going to buy it but It will take a helluva lotta work to make it 'nice' - wrong wheels, running boards, wings, it's had shock absorbers fitted, loads of extra shit on the dash etc

I'd wager there's a 'Powered by Fairy Dust' sticker on the boot.

New speakers throughout including partial shelf cost over 100quid.

It’s perfect. Car and photo aspect..

I've been to see that, seems a pretty genuine and good example. The current owner a Citroen enthusiast, he also has a Xantia for sale on eBay, and seemed a really nice and genuine guy.

Drives well, interior in great shape no saggy seats etc. everything works as expected, windows, mirrors, sunroof. There's a bit of surface rust on the outer O/S sill, and the inner N/S sill has had some sort of repair which looks to be a minor weld but all solid at the moment. No evidence of a recent cambelt change, but the owner has recently replaced spark plugs etc. There's a minor oil leak on the rocker cover, needs a new gasket.

The owner offered the info that there's a bracket that holds the LHM return pipes to the tank missing, but the hydraulics works ok as is, suspension raises and lowers as expected, and he pointed out that the rear spheres could probably benefit from being replaced as they look like the originals. 

The paintwork is in need of work if you want a "posh" car, a few minor scratches etc here and there along with some poor touch up, but no visible rusting issues.

Scruffy T180 Celica, but surprisingly it has a full test and is fairly cheap.  Temptingly close as well, but mustn't.

That is lovely, but I don't really see anyone paying that much? Again , rare doesn't always equate to valuable.

Have we had this electric converted Bedford Rascal?

It's appeared here at least once before and has turned more tricks on e-flog than Belle de Jour.

Found it sold for £500 in an auction, https://www.brightwells.com/lot-details/100007250 

Prefer the original number plates on it as opposed to the replicas - why do I notice such things? 

I thought there was a chance it was this one https://petrolblog.com/2012/09/bangerwatch-renault-11-1-4-tse-automatic/

The dealer looks to have taken off the originals and made up some replica number plates

How flippin' cool is that? I've never seen rosé interior on a car before. Just lovely.

Not sure I’ve got the stamina to go all the way on this one, but it’s fun to tease the wife anyway. If it comes in at £sensible then I might flog some old audio kit I’ve got doing nothing. 

Cheers ??
