Bloody hell, it's got floors and everything! He might be waiting a while for a buyer at £2.5K mind... 845cc as well so won't be rapid.

It's not "rot in the engine bay" you need to worry about on these, but rot at the rear torsion bar mounts.

Trailing arm mounts are the weakest point. The torsion bars tend to cling on rather longer.

Proper "old money" car. Rolls-Royces are for the ghastly nouveaux, my dear...

That's the bit I meant (sos), and don't I know it ☹️ The nearside outer mount on my 16 parted company with the body but luckily, Dad and his welder plus the local auto factors came to the old girl's rescue.

Whichever bastard at the Régie thought it was a good idea to leave the inner sill extension to which the trailing arm bearing was attached open to the elements and act as a mud and road salt trap on all those cars deserved to be given a strict diet of nothing but andouillette without any sauces for the rest of their natural.

(and yes, I have eaten them.)

Oh no.

No no no no no.

Get that stuff away from me now! Never, ever, again

I found I needed a boatload of mustard and frites to make the damned things edible - but at least I can say I've eaten them.

Apt punishment though, non?

As can I. An experience had, not one to be repeated.

Snap! A lot of Morte Subite Kriek Lambic was consumed as well to wash away the taste...

I've had them let go on both my current 6 and the 4 I owned before. I didn't even realise the one on the 4 had gone until the rear wheel tucked under when I overdid it a bit round a right hand corner - I might have been driving around for weeks with the wheel held on solely by the torsion bar...

Corolla T-Sport. These late Corollas are supposed to be a good drive and I’m a sucker for a 3 door hatch

A bit like E Types now, in years to come we’ll be staggered that something so beautiful was available so cheaply. And we’ll wonder what kind of seller took photos of the car on his computer monitor too👍

I always begrudgingly thought the Audi A5 was a handsome car, just a shame it’s beloved by powerfully built company directors, really.

Here’s one that’s at the lower end of the price point. Just needs paint. And it drops into limp home mode, but that’s probably nothing. And a clunk from what could be the driveshaft, which is probably nothing, or it could be the gearbox.
