Not exactly gone to town on the description though https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HUMBER-SCEPTRE-Mk3/203273067733?hash=item2f5404dcd5:g:kmAAAOSw-0FgITd~ That's rather nice; lush colour, and the interior is totally reminiscent of my green one. There's so much wrong though, and that's just what I can see at a glance! Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit a pet hate of mine is naming cars. A mate of mine used to do it to every fucking car he owned and would then only refer to the car as whatever stupid fucking name he'd given it which infuriated me even more. "I'll come over in brooklyn later" "What the fucks brooklyn?" " my new car, the numberplates E354 BRN so I named it brooklyn cos that's what the numberplate spells out". Oh yeah of course 😢😢😢😢. Every fucking car and a different stupid fucking reason why, numberplates, something it rhymed with, a mate who had one ten years previous etc etc. Still, nice to see an acclaim still going.

Anyone want to talk me into/out of this one? https://www.gumtree.com/p/citroen/citroen-c3-hatchback-2004-manual-1360-cc-5-doors/1396191205 Neighbour had one from new for about 15 years. She loved it and never seemed to have any problems. I don't know exactly which engine but it was diesel. It was written off when parked outside her daughter's house and a Ford Focus drove into it. That would've been about 18 months ago. I never went in it but I started thinking it looked a bit rubbish but by the end had some real respect for it. Missed seeing it on her drive although I kind of fancied the Renner Clio that she bought new to replace it marm 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Miserable interiors, asthmatic thrashy engines and a crap gearbox. Still like the wedge shape though and I would like to drive one with regassed spheres and new tyres, I reckon it would be a whole 'new sensation' in ride quality An acquaintance of mine has just finished restoring a Ambassador VDP, spent an absolute fortune on a professional body repaint. I dare say the velour seats in one of these would be much more appealing. Link to post Share on other sites
