For half the price, you could get this imported turbo Cherry instead.

That said, I'd probably spent the extra and get the Europe, 10K doesn't seem totally insane for a very rare car in what looks to be very good condition.  Proper enthusiast material though, so it might be sitting around waiting for a buyer for a while.

i am amazed that any of these are left, cos they were utter shit even when new....

i am also amazed that the vendor wants £10k for it!!!

s-l1600.jpg

Even more amazed  as it  seemingly sold a few weeks ago at auction for under 2k

No tab lighter, however so I am out.

That stereo looks like I fitted it the morning after a case of special brew.

But those seats, hot diggity!

Another fuckin' flipper.

On the other hand, the internet means that this car's sale history is quite well-known, so hopefully he'll be stuck with it for years to come.

Surely what you're referring to as 'flipping' is simply someone attempting to make money.  Something is worth what the market will pay for it, no?  If he's got a bargain at auction and is marketing it better to attract a higher price then what's wrong with that?  Good conservative Friedman free-market economics.

if its as good as it looks he got a ridiculous bargain, but then again 10k seems an awful lot

A great way to dispose of £3k. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mack-minature-junior/193175922390?hash=item2cfa2ea6d6:g:SFcAAOSw8sBb1INv

 

I'll have said before on here, I once went to get an Imp gearbox from a chap in Barnsley and he built miniature working lorrys. He spoke at me for about 2 hours about them until I managed to escape.

For a short time after that I was probably one of the principal authorities on miniature truck building in the UK, or even the world. 

Thankfully I managed to remove most of the information from my brain with a massive amount of drugs and alcohol and I've since managed to continue a relatively normal existence but it was touch and go there for a while.

The Honda is less likely to get you sprayed with acid, stabbed and left to lie in the road at traffic lights, as the star of a 100 YouTube clips.

It's at Welsh Border Motor Spares in Welshpool. If it's the same lad running as it 18-20 years ago, he's a brilliant bloke.

Late Montego diesel saloon - not all that far from me, in other circumstances I would be sorely tempted.

That is absolutely fantastic!

Having just gotten rid of two of my fleet, I find myself checking out Montegos and Maestros on the daily. If I could drive this back home I would be all over it
