Clearly this approach is a winning formula for The Doctor but it just leaves me cold. I’m far too cynical. Or maybe the good Doc is?

It was last on ebay on 26th March at £4,500, a good valet and long write up make it look more attractive clearly to those with plenty of money. His description could be better as it has Verona cloth not Durham. Nice car though,

Festival of the Unexceptional award winner, with 10,000 original miles on the clock:

It was in fine condition, but I could never live with the seat fabric. Takes me back to the dislike I had of woollen garments that I had to suffer as a child.

I'll make the case for the 914 being the shiter's Porsche. Just 80 horses in 4 cylinder form, barely more than an X1/9. It's a hard case to make with 924's still just about affordable and Boxster's heading towards the bottom of their curve...but it also looks a bit rubbish - and surely that counts for something?

(Ok you need £20k to buy one....but you'd probably get that back)

De Tomaso LongChamp that looks like a mk1 Granada

It's okay it's only 15 grand

Poor squashed thing. These are my favourite among "Italian exotica"

 At least fixing the roof is  a good opportunity to get rid of the stupid sunroof hole.   Get the body perfect, galvanise it and then maybe I'd find the £15k.

A private ambulance that is just a Vectra estate with the seats folded down and purple windows. If my penultimate journey was in the boot of a Vectra I’d have an awful lot of haunting to do.

Cor imagine an Accord with velour, beige and column shift. That'd be fantastic.

Same seller has a Cambridge too - so BMC exported the whole badge engineering thing too? There is a Farina Wolseley on the same site.  Surprisingly a number of all these for sale - must have exported a few.

I love these, if I had the spare cash I’d have this one.

Great cars, completely agree. And this one is low mileage, decent condition, with factory roof rails and cruise control.....what more could one want in a car? Having owned one of these, I guarantee those seats are like arm chairs, perfect for long journeys.

I've just sold my car (Honda Fit) and I'm in the market for another Odyssey/Shuttle/People mover....this would do, if it weren't 12000 miles away...

A friend’s dad had one of these on a K plate, all I can remember about the Astra was that is was maroon and no car has ever made me feel as car sick as it did. Turns out it made all his kids puke too so he swapped for a brand new Fiesta Frascati on an N.

Fantastic BMW Individual colour, I’ve never seen this one before and think it really suits it.

I think the manager of this B&Q has had it from new, he started out stacking the compost, apparently...

Heads up - for anyone looking for a pair of  Triumph TR4A projects. 

Please note ; They are not mine, nor am I wanting to be part of any negotiation or transaction. The two cars belong to a local chap and former TR Register member who I'm simply trying to help out.  I'll not publish his contact details here (publicly) - Please PM me and I'll give you his email address.

There are two cars and both are TR4A IRS.  Each has overdrive.  I understand the owner's intent was to combine the best of the two cars into one.  One (the blue car photographed below) is an American Import (LHD),  the other (red car) is a British car (RHD) with older V5 documents.  Each is a major project and will need sills, floors, lower footwell bulkhead, battery tray, chassis work or replacement, engine and mechanical rebuilds, interior, etc. The blue car appears to have a better chassis. There are also repair panels, such another pair of doors in red, sill outers and floors. There are also front bumpers and hood frames.  He also has what looks to be a new or refurbished interior panel / trim kit and a pair of TR4 seats in red (which look to have been refurbished).

The present owner would prefer to sell the two cars and all the parts as a lot, but may consider selling each car individually.  Location  off the A120, Nr. Braintree, Essex (for reference - that's not far from Stanstead Airport).  There is a possibility of local delivery. 

PM me for contact details (only). 

Cheers, Pete.
