Tyres / Wheels.  Has got 4, all in various conditions, but none of them are flat.  This, if anything might let it down for an MOT, but fine on the farm.

This seems like a good one. MOT til March, partial respray to combat lacquer peel and belts done at last service. Possibly replaced by another Volvo too?

Either way, Scotland is calling.

Rover 400* auto estate with only 19,000 miles (seemingly backed up by history) and currently a reasonable price. Will come with a years MOT too.

A purple, V6, LWB Vitara is probably quite a rarity. Converted to LPG too. Does it get any better?!

Anybody who drives between Brandon and Mundford on the A1065 will be aware of this place. There must be a hundred vehicles in this part of Thetford Forest forming the stock of what could be a banger racing operation. An eerie place - here's a Tercel I saw there back in 2015 -

and a 3-door Bluebird -

 

[jumpingjehovahs]

This seems canny. Giffer owned, new tyres all round and a full MOT. The last one of these I saw was more rust than paint, this one seems surprisingly well.

That Honda Civic estate is fantastic, great find. Even the seats look inviting to sit in, unlike all other old Honda leather seats I've ever seen.

[jumpingjehovahs]

Do you find an MX-5 obnoxiously large, but still want a Japanese drop top with tan leather and a wooden steering wheel? Have I the car for you! 
 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402274302935

[jumpingjehovahs]

Be still my beating heart. The only colour SAAB drop tops should come in I reckon, just gorgeous. 

Weirdly though, the ad states “Long MOT to Jun 18” and the MOT checker says it only has an MOT until June 13 2020? So maybe a wrongun, maybe a bargain. Still a stunner.

This place looks amazing (just had a look on google street view). A proper old-fashioned hoarder's property. Shame if it's all bieng cleared.

Fabtastic stuff nivek!

 I have never stopped for a look, your peek makes me wish I had.

 I wonder if that is the very same 3dr Bluebird that was in Elliston’s scrapyard, Barnham. Can’t have been too many of them around here....

Lets take a look at the project:

Cage is six point welded - it comes from a Monaro VX8 and was £2500 originaly - its heavy duty not just a show frame

Brilliant.

Front custom made doorcards.....front windows are electric and working sunroof working

Sorry chief you're going to have to explain to me what you've gained there. All the electric gubbins is still inside the door, all you've done is made it look fucking shit!!!!!

Thats about it, he's basically chucked away most of the fancy leather GSi interior.

Quote

its one of those Honda racing engines that just loves to rev smoothly up to about 6500 (when the limiter kicks in )

OK Queefy

I suggest your parents must be getting on a bit and maybe you should divert your efforts towards looking after them instead of this ludicrous bollocks. All the best!

You can tell it’s a proper FIA , MSA, HPV cage and not a show cage from how it doesn’t obstruct the glass sunroof , those rear passengers will be real safe. Oh, wait....

Bet that Rolls dealer shoo'd them off the premises.

Description is a trove of golden nuggets. Shakespeare, Hemingway, Dickens even Rowling - eat your literary hearts out..

"Plant your foot in the floor however and this car immediately propels forwards creating a sound that can only truly be appreciated by ear - words haven't yet come to the English language to describe how fantastic this sounds."

"Rolls-Soyce"

[lesapandre]

Of course sounds can only be truly appreciated by ear (unless you are counting vibration or using an oscilloscope). I love overwriting. 

Foot in the floor - some rust methinks.

Pay enought and you get a useful tyre thrown in.

Joking aside good MoT history and very few miles annually - but what future for this old bus as it ages - its getting tired, not a great colour combo or a turbo. I think the first really big bill will find it being broken?

Running issues too. Shows what a bargain @HMC’s is/was.

I don’t think I’ve seen one rust there before!

Nice idea but Hairnet has been looking with me and there are no discounts on train tickets at the moment, I am not supposed to leave the house at the moment so I feel this is not going to work out.

I don't know how Hairnet thinks asking Sir Teapot to find me one in Italy is going to help!

The horrible truth is I am selling the Rover R8 back to HMC because I can't find a way to get it home from Tavistock without spending a fortune. It seems my random car buying days are over.
