eBay tat volume 3.

Will come with a full MOT, which is interesting as it hasn’t had one since June last year. Still under £700 and finishes this evening so could be a bargain

This is identical to the car my parents had that I learnt to drive in (RIP AF54 XAJ). It was lovely, but always broken and this one seems no different.

Gearbox issues, obvs, random limp home modes that no-one can diagnose and the boot sometimes refuses to close (ours did all three). But, I’d have another.

£300 spares or repairs

I’m always happy to hear some love for old tat like this. I think their hatred came from exactly what you mention. Cheap, slow and agricultural isn’t what you’re hoping for doing Bristol to Glasgow on a Friday night. I thought the same about the seats, and it is advertised as a 7-seater, but it looks mighty practical as a 5 seater

You're spot on there mind. It was bought as a local runaround kind of wagon, kids, grand kids (and after retiring early) foster kids and their kids.... and a big daft dog too. There were some longer runs but not many, and I can see that a weekly run between Glasgow and Bristol wouldn't be anticipated with glee and hope. He moved onto a 7 seat Santa Fe (?) which was a huge leap forward although the rearmost seats were underfloor types and small.

Coolest car ever, when called the Fun Cargo, and a bargain at £600. If I wasn’t brassic due to furlough I’d be all over this like a pigeon on a chip.

I know these have their problems (mainly that they’re a modern GM product) but this is a really good looking car.

Needs a new power steering rack, but has a brilliant roof rack to balance that out. Also had a rev counter and a clock in the gauge binnacle, not sure I’ve ever seen that before.

No tape on the bumpers so not yet showing it’s heritage. I imagine these will have disappeared completely very soon.

Not that we’ll mourn when these are all gone, but it’ll be a shame to see that colour wiped off the roads. Always reminded me of BMW Estoril blue

Useful thing this and am I right that the TDI is veg friendly? Comes with one odd wing mirror with a side repeater in, amazing seat fabric and a blue dashboard. I wonder if this was one of the last cars to have a colour matched in non-dreary black dashboard?

Love this. Has had the 1.3 engine swapped for the 1.6 from a Niva and that interior is великолепный. I think from the description, he’s trying to say the front brakes are stuck on? Not sure. Anyway, £1900 (about half it’s new list price in 1986!).

And there was I thinking the 1994–1998 Ford Scorpio was ugly.

This kinda looks like someone’s pumped a Scorpio up with an air pump, then melted it.

1966 Buick Skylark. It's on Car&Classic so predictably not a bargain, but the price might not be entirely unreasonable if it's actually as good as it looks.

I can't describe how much pure want I'm feeling for that red Buick!

The wheels, though

*Inhales*

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO HAVE AN ENGINE
THAT DIDN'T HAVE A USELESS WATER PUMP
AND DIDN'T EAT ITS TIMING CHAIN FOR BREAKFAST
WHAT'S THIS COOLANT DOING IN THE SUMP

EVEN A ROTARY WOULD BE MUCH BETTER
THAN TWO DOLLY ENGINES GLUED TOGETHER

OH WOULDN'T IT BE NICE IF I COULD SWAP IN
A FORD V6 OR ROVER 3.5
BUT THEN THE STAG'S GODAWFUL WHINY FAN CLUB
WOULD HUNT ME DOWN AND SKIN MY ASS ALIVE

ALL MY TIME AND MONEY I'VE BEEN SPENDING
THIS VALVE ADJUSTMENT JOB IS NEVERENDING

Etc, etc.
