Spotted my old Crapi on the market for about 3 times what I sold it for 4 years ago. Can't say I ever felt particularly attached to it but it's still satisfying to see the old nail alive and well.

*Are we still allowed to call it a "Monkey" or do you need to be a fully licensed Cockney and claim it as part of your heritage ?

Classified as Motortraderspeak, or was when I used to drink with them. :)

OK, the 2CV may not be your thing, but in the sellers other listed items (32 pages) there must be something to take your fancy:

Odly they all finish on the same date and all only have one photo and a note insisting you contact them outside of eBay. I wonder why? 😁

Less than 1k miles from new and I guess the previous owner really loved a grill.

Oh god not that again! I remember posting it here a few months back, I don't think the owner has figured out why it hasn't sold yet...

99% sure this is the euro-spec Eldorado recently dragged out of someone driveway where it was rotting for years.

Detroit engine which is the same as the Mustang.

Absolute nonsense

It's done approximately 130000 km

very rare and it will be a lovely car once finished just no time to finish it off

Because you barely owned the car long enough to give it a proper wash

With the 4.9 you get a significantly slower car compared to the Northstar but at least you wouldn't need to worry about any N* related problems. 150k km is not that much either, the paint however will be by far most expensive thing to sort (as far as I remember the clearcoat was entirely ruined) and the euro lights just look terrible on them. It probably needs much more than just the pads and discs the seller claims its needing.

That is all fraudulent listings from a hacked account.

I have a work colleague who is South African and exports cars to SA frequently from blighty, not sure if he imports back here but I dont think he's had any major supplier issues with whoever he uses for transport. 

I can ask him who he uses but he's a pretty fly guy and I expect will offer to "complete the transaction on the other parties behalf".

Still, at least you then have someone who can speak the lingo with a proven freight, can't see him asking a life changing arrangement* fee either. 

I'd be interested if he could get me a "styleside " load bed/box for my MK3 cortina bakkie.

I will ask him what the script is with it all. I don't think he'd go looking for one for you but if you found one in sure he could arrange the transport.

It's a scam listing so people run the price up to deter people from being taken in.

 

*Edit: You contact the person in the second picture and they tell you they're working abroad but the car will be shipped to your door via eBay's 'secure' programme (or something like that), so you pay them, they send you a fake Paypal or bank recipt then just fuck off with your money.

People are bidding that up to make it look ridiculous to try stopping people getting fooled by them. 

Scam works by people contacting the fraudster by email. The "buyer" transfer money/deposit for the car. They never see the car or get any message back from the scammer again.

HOW FUCKING MUCH!!!!!

I thought it was a grand when I first saw and thought it was a bit salty but I haven't paid any attention to these ever price wise. 

Although thinking back a mate of mine saw one in the back of a bombsite car sales back in about 2005 when they were proper fodder for £495* which was cheap enough to make a ton or so on, in that flat light blue they came in. 

Suspecting it was a p/x in he fancied a quick flip as he did from time to time and after a short conversation with the salesman, who he described as a few shillings short, was told it was not a p/x but retail so he left it....... 

 

 

As the salesman pulled the sun visor out of the way, he noticed it was £1495....

 

Sat there unsold for about 2 years from memory.
