Looks like the price is climbing now anyway...

Did you 🤔.... 

I Google mapped the postcode given and it matched the houses shown in the pictures... It also shows a Fud Galaxy, a Jazz and a yellow Wagon R... Could be a nearby shiter 🤔

Extremely cheap 3.2 Omega estate ending in an hour.  I have no way of getting to Sussex in the next two days or I'd be all over this.

412 quid.  That's a bargain and a half.

I wasted 10 minutes reading the description of this thing,  only in the last paragraph does it mention its spears or reapers and needs towing - Perhaps I’ve put it it in the wrong thread.

It looks nice.  Pity about the list if faults. 

I'd like the bumper.

In a classic case of "my dad had one of those", my dad had one of those when he was between company cars in about 1999.  A later mk4, admittedly, but the same basic car.  As far as I could tell, the 1.6D was mostly designed to turn diesel fuel into smoke and noise.  It was comically agricultural and exceedingly slow, to the point where it was preferable to cram the family into my mum's Rover 111i for long holiday journeys.    

I vaguely recall it might have been a Perkins engine but no idea if that's right.

My old man had one when new in the same flavour E963 WKK, company vehicle. 

I think it took 5 of us from Kent to Yorkshire and back, must have taken a while. But my dad had a 1.3 Cortina at one point, so I guess he was used to it!

Good luck with that at that price, mine maybe wasn't as clean but it was good and I struggled to get £750.

I get the impression there are increasing amounts of old cars for sale that never get sold. My 'saved searches' increasingly yield stuff that has been up for months if not years. I get the impression money is ploughing into classic cars as they seem a reasonable investment where cash gets no yield elsewhere in an era of low interest rates. Plus, I think they're also an increasingly attractive ownership proposition now that everything else on the road is just an identical SUV. I'm sure there'll be a thread exploring this somewhere!

Dunno, but it's in Graham/Danny Walker's Microcar World lockup.

Lacquer peely Accord on Gumtree - still looks good for £200 with 9 months' MOT though.  Even has leather and wood*.

Strange description. Surely if there's no rust and drives nicely what's there to be disappointed about. Everything else is just tinkering.

Well there's something I'd never heard of. Looks the front of a VW LT and the back of a Sherpa. 

They were sold in That There Europe as a cheap workhorse into the '90s.  Kind of their equivalent of a Sherpa I suppose.

My dad had use of a D-plater in the late '80s - he reached an agreement to borrow it off the owner who was a family friend and barely used it.  It was a Popular Plus in that mid blue colour they all seemed to come in - proper basic, slow and noisy with scratchy grey cloth seats.  I loved it...

My godfather had a Mk2 Fiesta with the same engine - also a blue D-plater.  That was actually surprisingly nippy around town.

There were a few knocked out here by Nissan dealers.

Our local greengrocer (remember them?) had a blue one which they kept going for years and years until it resembled one of last weeks pears.

(Ebro Trade vans that is.)
