Right.  

It's been a long time since an Autoshite Save happened.  They're always brilliant and glorious, and a source of good reading material.  

So can everyone have a think about what they actually WANT from life, realise it's an original Austin miniMETRO in Brown, cough up some pennies and get this thing bought?

I've ommitted the front valance photo because I don't want to frighten you off.

Seriously, this is what it's all about.  This.  A brown miniMETRO.  With further brown.

No excuses.  Who's in?

Now relisted "DUE TO A TIMEWASTER" with a threat to "SCRAP IT" if silly price is not achieved.

Apparently the number plate is worth more than £1,500 🙄

It's fucked, it's been in an accident, kids have jumped on the roof, pretty much every panel is shagged and it's been sat for ten years.

"If I don't get £1500, I'll scrap it for about £300 worth of spares". 

 

Because that makes total sense. What a weapons grade thundercunt.

Cheap Berlingo with a floppy knob but the best engine (2.0 HDI) and enough free guano to fertilise a field.  Also, despite what the seller says, it still has a month's test left.  I'd be tempted, but my recent experiences with buying shonky diesel Citroëns from Sussex have not been good.

Erm, thanks for that, I've just emerged from an internet worm hole looking at the Opel Kadett 200T S..... could be my new favorite obscure car!!! 😄

I'm watching a 1/18 scale model that's now third time round (at least).  Reduced by a fiver from the first time I saw it and now he's saying the same thing.  So bring it down a bit more then!  Wanting a tenner for postage isn't helping...

Glad to be of assistance. 

We eventually kind of got a mk4 version in the UK.  I mean the Gsi version of the mk4  has a version of the same engine. 

( as did the zafira)

He's threatening to scrap a 1/18 scale model?  I didn't think there was much demand from scrapyards for that kind of thing.

And this is what he says...

FOR SALE ROAD SIGNATURE 1:18 DAMAGED , FRONT AXLE IS DAMAGED AND WAS A LOVELY MODEL IN A BOX , IT WAS DAMAGED BOX DESTROYED AND AXLE BROKEN , WHAT YOU SEE IS WHATS LEFT . WOULD BE A PERFECT MODEL TO BILLING UP WITH CUSTOM BITS  AND WOULD LOOK FANTASTIC DONE UP . NO RESERVE . WILL BE WELL PACKED FOR POST , LAST CHANCE THEN ITS GOING IN THE BIN . 

 

He's in Newark.  Do we have anyone local who could collect it for me, and then post it up to me at proper rates?  I would bid if so!

No mention of experiences buying shonky Talbots from Suffolk though, so please let us know how you get on...

Why oh WHY did this have to be Silver over Grey?

2.6 engine is an absolute peach - family owned from new - Nice history - but silver/grey.  Damn.

[BorniteIdentity]

Looks like this is sold - but just doing it for the likes #Youtuber #Vlogger #SmashThatLikeButton

Purple is the only colour for a car and nobody will ever tell me otherwise.  Look at that Blackberry metallic. Dang.

To be fair, £300 is about all it's worth.

Don't look at it as slightly* over-priced van look at it as an (almost) mobile moped storage unit.

But I already have a completely mobile moped storage unit.  And it's one of those nice reliable Ivecos which go on forever, not some shonky French thing.

Yep, you'll never notice it.

[Soundwave]

Do you have a spare grand, and a penchant for slightly scabby early 90s hatchbacks with potentially b0rked autoboxes? Look no further!

Stick up a low mileage 1275 engine/box/train on eBay for £300 and see how many offers you get in the first 6 seconds of listing. 

It’s fine to begrudge the prices - but things have moved on.
