Lol, I commute past that every day... there's a nice looking Land Cruiser 100 metres away that hasn't moved for about five years. https://www.google.com/maps/@51.4441251,-1.0193487,3a,16.3y,17.36h,87.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1ssRpsxZopzRpvVDIDiafDqQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

I might buy this. The one I had before was the most fun car I've ever driven. Shit on fuel though, presumably due to the 4wd system (it's always 'active', the magic button effectively just locks the centre diff).

They tend to command daft money these days though (especially the stronger injected versions) so may not stay at this price!

I’d forgotten that you could get single headlamp , open grille 2.3 V6 Sierras. I think it was only Ghia and XR4is that got the smooth front to start with.

The water company I worked for in summer 2001 had one. It was in demand by the lab guys. More recently peter troth the x1/9 specialist I use near Welshpool has one and uses it as a courtesy car. He’s fully rust proofed it in that ever single bit of metal ( bar the outside paint) is coated in gunk.

The one I had was pretty much made of underseal but that didn't stop it from failing every MoT on corrosion. The timing belt interval in these is pretty much annual too, mine was on 140k when it died and was on its seventh belt, even then I got £300 for it from an ambitious AS member who thought they could repair it!

Wow, I dread to think how much pointless time, effort and money was wasted making THAT!! or is it simply made from cardboard?...

I bought a Mk3 Mondeo from this lot in 2012. It was fine. Their business model seems to be buying cars from BCA and then immediately punting them on on ebay. The Mondeo turned out to be from Thames Valley Police.

Nice little earner for someone,  anyway.

I'm not saying it's a sign of the fisting this will give you financially, but Sun Tour Camper is actually an anagram of 'Arm up sore cunt'.

Thanks for that.

The HLS looks nice.

I wonder what happened to the rear seat and the twin carbs?

Registered with the DVLA last year as a 1955 Austin Healey, seems legit. I’m sure that windscreen might be off a 100/4, that and a chassis number is all it takes, apparently.
