i so, so wanted a Mini 30 when they were new, but in 1989 i was 15 so that wasn't really going to happen.

i think they did 1000 in black and 2000 in the cherry. which i prefer if i'm honest.

i wonder if its still got its Mini book and Corgi Mini pack with it? unlikely i suppose, but i have one upstairs in a cupboard.

Would it have been this one you saw in that yard? I saw it in Bury, I think in the very late '90s:

Eventually I found out more about it, and it transpired that it was this very Type Approval car, I have a photo of it before it even got registered:

I’m going to say that it’s highly likely it’s the same car. It had been crashed into the field opposite the Gorse Ind. Est. by the scrapyard owner following a high speed run down the lane, I can’t remember it wearing any reg. plates when I saw it atop a stack but the colour and trim in your photos are the very same as the beaten example I saw.

 The car in the woods looks like it has some dents on the C pillar, maybe obtained in an arse-over-tit foray into the Barnham countryside..??? I’m just elated to know it may have evaded fragging so far.

That Bluebird really wants saving... I wonder how fucked it actually is? I'm guessing very. There are enough common-or-garden hatchbacks out there to provide all the bits, I'd have thought, though. Shame if it makes it this far in life and ends up as bean tins.

In the general scheme of things, it's probably unique in Britain. Are there any others in existence over here?

It's on Ebay too.  Its been for sale several times at wildly different prices. Seller says mucked about by buyers but odd pricing yo-yo and for sale in two places at once. It's at £1040 on Ebay.

From what I vaguely remember from discussions when @Spottedlaurel first posted his pictures online, I think this is the only 3dr that was actually sold here. I had no idea they even existed until I saw his pictures. I'd like to think somebody has the foresight to save something unique like this.

The Xsara’s sexy sister. Doesn’t get much more basic than this, perfect for hammering into a Hindustan Ambassador to pass lockdown boredom.

Incredible that design is more than 21yo. I've lost all track of car design dates but if you'd told me it was a 2015 I would not have disbelieved it.

Gorgeous.

Also conveniently located in the north east, so should you test drive, you can claim you’re simply checking your eyesight.


https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124193458621

I'm loving that, and actually like the advert too, seems a straight up chap 'No faults showing on TC, but now it's got this one.' seems fairly honest?

Thankfully I don't have room for two 90s V6s in my life right now....

Where’s [mention]Cavcraft [/mention] when you need him? Tasteful* Combo van in Hull. Interesting to see it inspired Toyota with the Aygo colour schemes.

Agree with you in that. I have one neighbour with a blue 206 and one with a blue 207 and the 206 not only looks younger, I’d argue it’s the best looking car in our car park.

That was up on eBay a few months ago. I would save it if I could.

That P4 looks familiar, is it from this thread or did someone here ( @colc ?) own it ?  Some sort of medieval knee shredding weapon masquerading as power steering, 300 Tdi ?  I’m now thinking it’s all the dodgy modified P4s I’ve ever seen rolled into one.

It is...I did...............power steering was actually ok..........rest of it.....not so much.

Anybody fancy a bus with no engine? If that doesn't sell it to you, it's also an IVECO. 

Listed conspicuously as "Mr" in the ad title and has 0 bids so could be a bargain for someone looking for an ambitious project or a bus to convert into an airbnb. One of the more restrained seat coverings I've seen in a coach too.

Can anyone explain what the purpose is in using someone else's ebay account for scamming purposes? Unless the Suzuki Swift this bloke's selling is worth upwards of £55k, and this Cavalier is worth £65,600?

If it were an escort 4x4 turbo (codwart) then maybe.... but buy it now seems to be £4,000

Which would be a bit cheap.

I think normal Ebayer's have been bidding up the vehicles to stop the more gullible members of society bidding then paying in advance, thinking they are getting a bargain when all they are paying for is the scammers wages.

It's a great way to stop these scams. I'd certainly bid £50,000 on any number of the bikes he has advertised.
