Damn! I thought this was this was maybe featured in an episode of top gear from the 90s, the Scottish reg seemed similar, but its actually a blue Morris Oxford, the one 4 mins in, would've certainly been a novelty to own something that had been on old top gear.

Potential bargain - giffer-dented Astra auto estate with plenty of test for 200 quid.

 

That's ace, but asking for the listing fee at the end is a bit cheeky.

Absolutely 100% the best shape of the Farinas.

Wowzers. Rebuilt. Five large.

That looks amazing and a potential bargain, but it’s not an MG, nor does it make it clear if it’s an efi, just says 2.0 Montego engine.

The dvla have it down as a Rover Maestro, 1275cc, multicoloured .

You have to wonder why whoever built it didn’t use an MG logbook , he clearly had at least one for all the bits and it’s not as if anyone is going to look into it, too much, it’s hardly a priceless Ferrari or Escort.

 

edited to add; just realised it hasn’t got an MG interior either, so perhaps he didn’t have a complete MG, to hand. I’ll let him off.

Seems a fair deal at four grand, looks about the money... wait...

Sorry, that's 14, 000 pounds. Oh.

 

I'd hazard a guess that if you were to buy that and have it shotblasted just for shits and giggles,  you'd find:

* Acres of filler

* Curved panels hand created by hand (with a hammer)

* Distortion on every panel

* Pigeon shit welding

 

A cursory glance at the photos already suggests it's an absolute shitter. 14k? Jeez.

Needs a  bit of work.  These would make a 1970's Ford product hang theirhead in shame when it comes to rust.

My old M535i failed on similiar around the ARB mounts, which isn't to hard to fix but if the rear subframe mounts are rotted it's pretty much game over unless you want to weld in a new floor from another car.

I went to drop something at my garage and look what was there.

It would be immensely satisfying to jet wash that thing.

Let me touch your 'butty hut' just spread your legs what do you say

Come take a trip on my wonder gland, on the back seat later today 

'Lotions of love' rubbed on your council, it'll hurt less if you do it that way

Let me feel your warm gusset, release the strap on your balloon cocoon

I'll put jizz on your face if I don't come to soon

I couldn’t understand why the bike is branded SINNIS on the tank, but is referred to as a “Qingqi” on the MoT document.

I think I have the answer:

There’s an unrelated company called “QinetiQ” which I understand is pronounced “Kinetic”. If you use this wordplay on “Qingqi” you get “Kingci” or “Kingki”, and when pronounced comes out sounding like “Kinky”.

Would you want to ride a bike called “Kinky”?

I could of course be wrong on both accounts (the pronunciation and whether you’d be prepared to ride a “Kinky” bike).

Like most of the Chinese brands you see around - Direct Bikes, Lexmoto, Honley etc - Sinnis is merely an importer. They buy in Chinese domestic market shite for 27p and a broken Xbox per unit and stick their name on the tank.

Thanks,  I see now.  I originally searched on "Qingqi" which gave me the manufactures story, and I assumed SINNIS was a global (non Chinese) brand name.

 I’ve now found the SINNIS site, but I find their strap-line “Riding from reality” a bit ambiguous.  😕
