That car was advertised a few months ago (with the same photos). The price seems to have doubled!

Weird - I can only find old adverts at £5k and £3.2k.

I’m sure it was in Derbyshire before. I damn nearly rang the seller - which suggests it was under £2k.

I thought this was someone flipping the MOTless one from a few pages ago which went for £300 on fleabay, but it seems to be different one all together

That was on ebay the other day. I was going to post it when I got home from work but the ad had been removed... puzzling. The second car is hilariously disgusting.

Another ZX TD

As cool as those are, did the volcane still have only 90 hp or was it tuned higher?

[wuvvum]

"Only" 90bhp, but that's plenty in something as light as a ZX.

Unless your nickname was Wobs and then it had the boost wound up, wastegate adjusted and fuelling dialled up to match....

I "think" it ended its life under a HGV on the M5....

About 5 years ago, I could spend hours looking at 124s in various colours, trims and shapes.  The greatest point of interest was just how different they could be.  Beryl Blue S124 badged as a TE? Yum.  #249 Malachite Green Saloon?  Delicious.  Bornite Metallic S124 with Blue Leather and Walnut, as good as it gets.  Almost infinite options to geek out over.  

Sadly, I fear the good ones are now all sat at Charles Ironside for over £10,000.

BUT - the odd peach still crops up at an attainable price.

512 Almandine Red C124.  

You won't get the Ironside treatment, but nor will they charge you the same!

I recognise this. It's on the delivery I'm doing at the moment. Can confirm that it does look lovely in the metal.

I don’t know why you’ve asked, if I ran these sort of questions past the wife I’d be driving a fucking Renault Scenic or some such shit by now.

Offer a one in, one out policy. 

 

Then hide the mini in the boot of the Volvo.

Mistake I made , in the past I've just bought cars and Mrs wack has coped with them , the last 2 I bought to fit her profile and hated them so when the E280 came up I took her at her word

It  has to be a 4 door and the AC working 

As I was backing all 5m of it on the drive I think she regretted not being more specific

I’d buy that if I was looking for a new car. Presumably the numberplate is c3 ooc? That’s the only thing I’d change immediately. Good price I think.

The correct engine in a Transit County is the Essex, much better than some rattley old oil burner.

Sometimes a ‘one off’ isn’t always a good thing, Fred West was a one off. 

I find it a bit tragic reading through the description, it’s a one owner so he’s bought it new if I read that right, so obviously a man of means at that point, then 15 years later he’s reduced to driving pairs of crack heads to the registry office in it. Reading that makes me feel like something has gone badly wrong in his life there. 

It goes on to say how affordable to run it is. It won’t be. If you’ve no money, buy an Astra diesel, not this. 

My sympathy really does run out when he says ‘people look and wonder if it’s a famous person driving...’ I can guarantee if I saw this I’d think it’s owned by someone who cashed in a £5,000 endowment policy and manages a pub with a flat roof. Drives a Mercedes S-class but pays for the gas and electric on a card £5 a time at the post office.

’Extraordinarily fast...’ No, a Ferrari 512 BB is extraordinarily fast. 

‘Recently serviced at Mercedes...’ If you turned up at Mercedes in this they’d tell you to shift it round the back, they’d hand you a quote that looked like a Melbourne telephone number and you’d get your mate who runs a ‘garage’ from a prefab affair round the back of his house to put the wrong oil in it from ECP. 

He rounds it off with ‘you deserve a treat...’ this isn’t a treat, it’s a millstone round your neck.

’I will consider a swap’ - despacito.

A mate had a minibus powered by the 2.0 pinto, it was the unit with the stepper motor on the carb from the Granada. Prodigiously thirsty, driving it to south of France nearly bankrupted him. When he came to sell it nobody wanted to know when you told them it had a 2.0 pinto in it, he ended up raffling it off on EBay to a mosque in Rochdale.

Is this possibly that  £1500 S-Class that featured on here a couple of months ago? I'm sure it was that colour and had a brown interior like this one. It was pretty bashed up hence why the possible  lower half re-spray.
