Anyway, in brighter news, this looks like a cheap way into two-stroke Wartburg ownership

It needs a bonnet, screen and water pump housing

But I reckon I could get all those bits easily enough. Could easily be on the road for about £1500 I'd have thought. If it wasn't in Somerset I'd be giving this a bit of serious thought. It's a column-change, too, which is massive bonus

Oh, this is a shame. This thing was in a yard near my office for years with a few other old cars, all owned by an eccentric old bloke. that Bearded Explorer fella did a video there a while back (with the guy's permission for once) and then shortly after I noticed all the cars were for sale. Turns out the old bloke died and his estate sold them off.

Anyway, the bloke selling it has now chopped off the entire front end and is breaking the rest of it for parts!

Now I'm under no illusion that these old Packardbakers are particularly desirable, and they are unarguably pig-ugly, but they are rare, even in the US, and it seems like an incredible waste in 2021 to just chop one up. It wasn't even that rough to start with and could definitely have gone back on the road. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the market for 1957 Packard/Studebaker bits in the UK is zero, as I'm pretty sure there aren't any others on the road over here, so hopefully the guy who committed this act of butchery will be out of pocket in the long term

£800 for the rear bumper?

Aye, that's all gonna get bailed in a few months.

Let's fucking hope so..... (whispers.... if a ba**er racer had bought it at least it would have had some bits off then gone in a blaze of glory)

Strictly speaking it doesn't even need a screen as long as you can live with the crack - it's MOT exempt innit.

It's been a while since I dipped my toes in this thread (my return has nothing* whatsoever to do with having an empty parking bay) so apologies if this has appeared before. 

Rather lovely little thing this, I thought, esp with 11K on the clock - giffer-matic-orangepogweasel-tastic

You took the words out of my mouth. I'd rather have seen that raced, a phrase I don't think I've ever typed before. Poor thing.

I thought you were being a little harsh until I opened the advert and can see what you mean now:

Those new Rolls Royces are massive, look how it's dwarfing this Tesla

Autoshite legal advice question.

Sure, many vehicles are MoT exempt. However is it still an offence to drive an unroadworthy vehicle, regardless of if it is exempt?

Yes it is, but it is highly debatable whether a crack in the windscreen would render a vehicle unroadworthy.  Unless it's completely spidered right in front of the driver obvs.

This looks well, only £620 so far, no reserve. But look at that fucking monstrosity in the background!!!

What makes me laugh about this is how the seller has deliberately taken pictures from angles that show off the rest of his admirable* car collection. It's a common theme through his other ads as well, (except one which has a Transit van, which, frankly, I'd much rather drive than anything else he owns...). 

How vain and poser-y can one person get?!

Grecian columns the size of pylons and a fuggin' chandelier hanging outside above the front door are also LoL worthy.

Poss a good place to ask - does anybody have a classic auctions calendar? I have ACA and Manor Park in the diary over the next few weeks, but there must be loads of others.

Chop the roof off and you don't need a windscreen so Biggles glasses and a flying helmet will do.

Usual suspects at the moment, and who knows if any of the 'event' sales are going to happen, but...
