Ease yourself into the crap car experience with this. Low tax, a bit rusty, been off the road for ten years, low miles and the engine is the wrong way round. It's just into four figures but shite prices seem to be pretty high these days.

When working horses got too old to work they were either fragged for dog food or put out to grass to enjoy easy retirement.

I'd like to give this old LT an easy retirement by removing the body and Giffer-pottering in the bare chassis-cab.

And it’s only a Renner 21 Savannah YO!

 

I should think £695 gets it.

 

In a simpler world, I’d just sell the swap the Corolla for this and carry on. But we can’t always get what we want!

Excuse me, I just need to go and lie down for a minute.

It seems odd how prices are so high nowadays, especially during lockdown. Can anyone explain why now?

That interior looks wrong to me, I am no expert on BL cars but I thought these should have striped seats and different headrests. Beautiful colour car but it may be hard to find an interior.

Yes, should have 'low back' seats with stobe effect and the early headrests.  That interior is from a 1983 onwards model.  Also should have twin wide coachlines and not a rubbing strip.  Like this...

It's still an applejack Metro though, so can be forgiven most faults!

All the photos in the advert are terrible, which is a shame, because it looks like this would be a fantastic Do Not Paint sort of a thing.

I know people on here are a bit sniffy about this sort of thing, but that would look absolutely perfect lowered on slightly wider steels. Do the interior and leave the body exactly as it is but waxed and protected. Perfect low 'n slow cruiser.

A very tasty 1965 Austin 1800 Mk1 - another tempting Kiwi classic.

For a 55 year old car it looks in surprisingly good condition. I suspect it has spent a great deal of time in a dry Canterbury garage, not just since 2012 as the listing states. That would explain the lack of rust (part from the surface rust in the engine bay).

I wonder how much work someone (me) would be looking at to recommission this as a daily driver?

Release your inner "Wuvvum" with this delightfully shonky S2 GTi Turbo 2 for a bag and a half - it even has a dented driver's door.

EDIT to add: this is one car that would look well resprayed in Cassis Nacre / burgundy or one of the bright blue shades that CXs had in the late 1970s. Black would be a waste.

I have been thinking exactly the same, with so much uncertainty over jobs, potential reduced earning and almost certain recession looming You would think prices would drop sharply. The only explanation I can think of is that people are having a lot of time to reflect on what is really important and life must be lived when you get the chance. Life is too short to be driving horrid new cars?

Fluids changed, replace any rubber hoses, give it a wipe down and it might well be good to go; it is a B series after all, they're pig simple and were fitted in everything from MGs to Sherpas.

But these are asking prices - does any of it sell, and if so, for how much?
